Caesars New Orleans Review Jump to comments

Formerly Harrah's New Orleans, Caesars New Orleans rises off the foot of Canal Street 26 stories marking its place in the New Orleans, Louisiana landscape as an important figure. The resort is rated Four Diamond by AAA, and enjoys top rankings on all user review sites - rarely being rated less than "Excellent" even when 100's or 1,000's of individual reviews are taken into account. The resort sits right at the edge of the French Quarter and the Arts District and is a stone's throw from the river and Caesars Superdome.

Some of the best dining in New Orleans can be found at Caesars. The two hotel towers have a combined 790 rooms and suites as well as 47,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space that can be used for anything from a wedding or family gathering to a corporate retreat or convention. Dining opportunities range from quick bites at the Cafés On Canal (Starbucks, Fuddruckers, McAlister’s) to upscale venues such as Nobu led by James Beard Award-winning chef Nobu Matsuhisa and Ruth's Chris Steak House to Bobby Flay's Bobby Burgers and Manning's Sports Bar & Grill.

Of course, you will come for the gambling too, and the 115,000 square foot casino packs in over 1,100 slots, and 100-plus gaming tables, including an Asian gaming area and a 5,000 square foot WSOP poker room with 20 live-action tables.
