I prefer the rooms at Harrah's providing that you are able to get a lake view. Unlike the rooms at Harvey's, the Harrah's rooms all have two bathrooms and three televisions.
The two hotels are operated as one, so that it does not matter which one you stay in. You can eat in any of the restaurants and charge it to your room. The only buffet is in Harrah's (top floor with a nice view). There are several nice restaurants including Friday's Station at Harrah's and "19" at Harvey's both with an incredible view.
The video poker is relatively weak. The only playable game that I have found is 9/6 Jacks in the $1.00 3 game variety at Harrah's and single line $5.00 9/6 Jacks at either of the two hotels.
Make sure that you drive around the lake. It will take you most of the day (with stops). The scenery is absolutely spectacular.

Stay at Harvey's. It overlooks the lake. Harrahs is across the street right behind Harveys w/limited view. Harveys has the Diamond lounge which is really small like Laughlin. A glass elevator takes you up there. Cool view of the lake. IMO Harrahs has the better food/restaurants or if you are willing to travel drive into California. Hosts are better in Harveys IMO. Its not really a tunnel. It's more like an underpass under the street. Harveys has a better sports bar. No matter what you should have a great time its a beautiful place. Enjoy.

We are 7* and are considering a trip to Lake Tahoe offers.
I checked VP Insider which shows the only playable VP (minimum 9/6
JOB/maximum $5 JOB or $1 JOB 1/3/5-Play) at Harvey's is 1-$5 JOB and
Harrah's with 1-$5 JOB 1/3/5-Play and 4-$1/$2 JOB Triple Play. This
means there are only 6 machines between the two properties that we
could play. Does anyone have current information on VP at
Harvey's/Harrah' s Lake Tahoe?
I understand that the two properties are connected by a tunnel and
that they are similar to Paris/Bally' s LV in that it is basically ONE
slot club so you can stay at one property, play at the other one, it
doesn't trigger 2 trips and hurt your offers, and everyone is happy.
I would also like to verify that you can charge to your room for
restaurants at either property, regardless at which hotel you stay.
Any suggestions about which hotel to stay at, rooms, restaurants,
attractions and things to do, or anything which might be helpful
would be greatly appreciated.
We know a lot about Harrah's New Orleans and would be happy to share
information. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. Pat
