Alert | So was anyone else at Harrah's on Saturday night? I have never seen that place so crowded! There was actually a 20+ minute wait for the buffet. They had more than half of their game tables open and they were all full, with people waiting in line behind them. I would guess that at least 80% of the slot machines had people sitting in front of them also.
So is this a sign of how much Maricopa has grown? I know people from all over the greater Phoenix area visit the casino's, but I think there is definitely a much higher percentage of locals (people from Maricopa) there, especially since there aren't a lot of local alternatives -- as far as things to do on a Saturday night. | | | |

Alert | | We were there... it was crazy. Walked in circles just trying to find an open slot machine. We did eat at the buffet, it was good. Wonder if there were any big winners on 7/7/07? | | Senior Member Posts: 204 Joined: Apr 2007 | |

Alert | | Is Harrah's the casino that has the good steakhouse? | | A diamond with a flaw is worth more than a pebble without imperfections. | |

Alert | | We've been to the steakhouse... it was good, but not FANTASTIC. A bit pricey too. Probably $60 for two adults without alcohol. | | Janelle --------- You can take the girl out of Kansas, but can't take Kansas out of the girl! | |

Alert | | If you like crab legs/seafood, the buffet was really good. They also had prime rib, chicken, meatballs and all kinds of side dishes. They even had brussel sprouts! YUM!!! LOL | | Senior Member Posts: 204 Joined: Apr 2007 | |

Alert | | The steak house isn't bad, the buffet is cattle food it's gotten worse over the last year we stopped going in there. The Agave isn't bad but has a limited menu. The sandwich bar is good if you want a fast bite, good sandwiches. | | | |

Alert | | I really like Agave, and I think the Range is great. Service is excellent also, especially at the Range. | |

Yes, I believe you did. I spoke with your sweet wife for a bit when we got there. I apologize for not remembering her name right away! | | Janice, not Janet. | |

Alert | Harrahs had a huge promotion on saturday...it was actually busier that night then NYE....they gave away 777 dollars every hr and then a final give away of 7,777 at 9pm....but other than it being a holiday in the casino business because of the date...the casino has gotten busier every yr because of the growth in Maricopa, at least I know the Range has. I'm sure the casino is busier as well. Harrahs is always going to be busy because of the name and the rewards you can earn not only their but at all Harrahs properties.
One of the nicest places to eat in Maricopa is the RANGE STEAKHOUSE...its not a bar, its really good and I love the service  | | ~Joined March 2005~ | |
