Harrah’s New Orleans

About

Harrah's New Orleans sits right in the heart of downtown, just steps from the French Quarter and the Mississippi River. As Louisiana's only land-based casino, it's a major draw for visitors looking for gaming, dining, and live entertainment all under one roof.

The casino floor spans over 115,000 square feet with more than 1,300 slot machines and nearly 200 table games. Whether you're a seasoned player or just trying your luck for the first time, the energy on the floor is infectious. Beyond gaming, Harrah's houses several restaurants and bars, from casual bites to upscale dining options. The property also hosts concerts, comedy shows, and special events throughout the year.

Location is one of Harrah's biggest strengths. It sits at the foot of Canal Street, making it an easy starting point for exploring the French Quarter, the Warehouse District, and the Riverwalk. The Smoothie King Center and Caesars Superdome are nearby, so it's a convenient base for catching a Pelicans or Saints game too.

The hotel tower offers comfortable rooms with views of the city or the river. For those planning a longer stay, the property connects to a wider network of dining and shopping options along the riverfront.

New Orleans is a city that rewards exploration, and Harrah's makes a solid home base. You can spend the morning wandering Jackson Square, the afternoon sampling beignets and po'boys, and the evening trying your hand at blackjack or catching a live show. The casino operates daily, with hours varying by section, so check the current schedule before your visit.

Parking is available on-site in the attached garage, and the property is also reachable by streetcar, rideshare, or taxi. For visitors coming from out of town, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is about 15 miles west of the property.
