haven't been...
Have just had better luck, personally, at Harrah’s than elsewhere, but I suppose it is all kind of subjective. We started going there because they had $1 drafts. The “free” drinks weren’t coming quite fast enough for us at the other hotels. Also, I’m not quite classy enough yet for the $15-$25 minimums at most of the table on strip over the weekend. Harrah’s has $2-5 craps and blackjack.
I liked handing out at TI as well, but that’s just because I have a thing for pirates.
The mall/shops at Caeser are worth checking out as well. Bellagio has a nice sportsbook.
It is August though, so be prepared to be HOT
