History

It opened in 1973 as the Holiday Casino. When it first opened, the front of the building was a steamboat motif. This caused some to confuse this casino with the off strip Showboat.

Renamed to Harrah's in 1992.

In 1997, Harrah's purchased the property. During that year's renovation, they removed the old theme and replaced it with a carnival party theme. They extended the 35 story tower by adding 986 rooms.

On February 21, 2006 a standoff between a gunman and police ended with one person dead.
