If the She Said/He Said reviews on the Waterfront Tower at Harrah's in Atlantic City, left you wanting more on what it's like to stay inside the hotel, then look no further than our video tour of room 41076.
And here was our initial reaction to the room:
The colors were very modern, red and tan, with a HUGE LCD HDTV, but it was obvious there was not an HDTV Signal--the image quality was clearly lacking. Our room was on the 41st floor and well, of course that afforded us great views.
The bathroom was clearly modeled after The Borgata--separate room for the toilet, glass enclosed shower with bench, marble floor, PLENTY of towels, PLENTY of room.
Our only issue with the room was what appeared to be a lack of insulation. We could hear everyone in the rooms around us. Not fun.
Last month, we hit up the free room promotion that Harrah's in Atlantic City was doing for its new Waterfront Tower. Two of our NY-area based contributing editors took a chance on this free room and wrote back with their impressions. Since one is male and one is female, we decided to do a "She Said, He Said" review. Here's JetSetCD'sShe Said review. Enjoy.
Luck was quite the lady on Thursday night in Atlantic City, not only showering New Yorkers with the complimentary room in the new Waterfront Tower at Harrah's, but also with free drink coupons, buffet discounts and a general escape from the city grind.

First things first. I have to admit that The Borgata is my all time favorite Atlantic City Casino/Hotel, but for one night I was excited and willing to give up "My Happy Place" for the new 44-story gleaming high-rise called Harrah's Waterfront Tower.
I've lived in NJ all my life, and I've visited Atlantic City millions of times but Harrah's is the only Casino I had never set foot in before, so I didn't know what to expect. I ended up comparing it to The Borgata. Hey, the Borgata is still the only casino that's making money in AC these days so they must be doing something right.
To say the least, I was disappointed with Harrah's and it all started with check-in.
Man: "Hmm...are you included in this free room thingie?" Girl: "As if!"
As promised, we took a snapshot of the logo-painted Harrahs reps who were giving out free rooms for June 5th on Wall Street today.
When we heard the word "representatives", we definitely pictured fun sales/marketing employees who would just wear some bright-colored Harrahs gear and maybe some face and arm paint.
Oh no, these girls were contracted for the day to wear tube tops and shorts and some serious Harrahs bodypaint. The attention-getting scheme worked. There was a steady crowd around the girls--mostly Wall Streeters ogling the girls and tourists trying to use their rudimentary English to inquire about the promotion.
However, the free room thing at Harrahs Atlantic City new tower, the Water Tower, is legit. All you have to do is log onto www.takeoverthetower.com and enter the code listed on the key (NYC). While the Waterfront premium room is free, the taxes and additional fees are on you. BIG CATCH HERE: You must book by May 18th.
New Yorkers in the Financial District might get lucky this Thursday and it won't have anything to do with the stock market or the boozy after-work happy hour.
As a way to promote their new Water Tower, the Harrah's Resort Atlantic City is going to be giving away $1 million worth of free hotel rooms in four major East Coast cities, starting May 15th in New York.
All lucky consumers who receive the keys in New York City's Financial District, specifically the Canyon of Heroes area on lower Broadway near the 4/5 Wall St. subway station, between the hours of 11:00am to 2:00pm, will be invited to reserve their complimentary room for one night only - Thursday, June 5, 2008 - designated Harrah's Loves New York Night.
How to spot the Harrah's reps? They will be logo-painted so you can't miss them. Logo-painted? Yup we were curious about that too. A rep says:
They'll be dressed in body paint, with the Harrah's logo painted on them
So there's really no excuse for not getting a free room here. And don't worry, we'll pop down to the FiDi on Thursday to snap a picture of these logo-painted peeps.
