Reno/Lake Tahoe

Long-time lurker, first-time poster looking for a little info on
Harrah's Reno and Harvey's Lake Tahoe. Can anyone compare
rooms/restaurants at the two hotels? We will be flying into Reno, so
it would seem to be a little more convenient to stay there; but I am
leaning toward Harvey's. I know this is an older hotel, but the
website says the rooms have been refurbished. The machine inventory
is a bit more to my liking also.

     HI, HAVE STAYED BOTH AT HARVEYS AND HARRAHS IN THE PAST 28 YEARS.
BOTH ARE NICE, HARRAHS ARE BETTER IMHO. HARRAHS BUFFET IS OK, I MAY BE
TIRED OF IT. HARVEYS SEAFOOD BUFFET IS GOOD, BUT HAS DECLINED IN
QUALITY. I LIKE THE LAKESIDE,DOWN THE ROAD FOR PRIME RIB AND BREAKFAST.

Stayed at Harveys last year. Not sure what decade they refurbished anything, room was old, bed sagged and was cheap, bathroom ceiling tiles missing. Room was reasonably clean but definitely beat.
  Dont expect anything like vegas strip, more like downtown vegas.
   
  I hear Harrahs is better, but have not stayed there.

Harrah's is better. Silver Legacy, Atlantis and Peppermill all have
nice rooms as well (all in Reno)

Our experience at Harvey's was somewhat different.
http://community.webshots.com/album/212547119MMwiTR I would compare the
room favorably to all but the top tier rooms on the Strip. It was on the
Diamond level, so maybe these rooms are not representative of the rest of
the hotel. Harrah's Tahoe rooms are supposed to be better yet. The
Harrah's Reno room we had was totally unimpressive. A basic, small motel
style room. Your gambling options will be plentiful in DT Reno, though...

Thanks so much for your input. Enjoyed looking at the album very much. Our junket will be using the Tahoe Tower at Harvey's, which I'm told has luxury and premium (higher floors) rooms. We can only hope that our room is equivalent to what you had. If you have any other info to share you can email me privately (swhite2333@nc.rr.com).
