Harrah’s Resort and Regional Pro Tips:
Restaurants on-stite: The Harrah’s has many places to eat, but reservations are recommended for any restaurants over the weekend nights as the place will get full. For breakfast and lunch there will be plenty of food in our hall just for our Frontline Gaming ACO Attendees, so you should not need to worry about that.
The Pool Club: This is a pretty happening place at night when the pool turns to a club. If you are looking for a wild night, it is recommended that you check out the pool after dark.
The Board Walk: This legendary attraction is a short uber ride away and is a fun place to check out. Besides the beach, there are restaurants, and all the boardwalk things you know and love.
If you have any questions, please post them on the Frontline Gaming Community Group on Facebook for the fastest response.
We can’t wait to see you all soon!
