Yes, it was a continental breakfast but it was top quality! The pastries, the bagels, the yogurt parfaits were better than any other hotel i stayed at. I have to disagree with a previous poster that the breakfast buffet was like the cheap hotels that offer a free breakfast. And Harrah's has a horrible selection of channels. What sets this apart from Harrah's RIncon down the street is that the Wi-Fi is free. The tv is huge and a good selection of channels. By then, i had already eaten at the buffet with my own VIP pass so i didnt need the Hotel Guest Line Pass. After reading the reviews i did not try to check in before 3:00 PM. I knew where to go to check in as i have been to the casino before. I enjoyed my one night comped stay at this hotel.
