Harrah's Atlantic City is the home of one of the stops on the World Series of Poker circuit. The World Series of Poker circuit comes to Harrah's every year in December for a 10-day series of tournaments of varying buy-in levels. The rest of the year, the poker room at Harrah's has 24 tables and offers limit and no-limit hold 'em, and seven-card stud. No-limit hold 'em tournaments - with buy-ins of $100 or less - are held at least once each day (see the schedule below and the Harrah's web site).

Located in the marina area of Atlantic City, the hotel at Harrah's Atlantic City is enormous - 1,626 rooms in four towers. There are eight dining facilities in the Harrah's complex, full service restaurants, casual dining, buffet-style, and coffee and raw bars. A fitness center with indoor pool, jacuzzi, and aerobic equipment is available for guests. In October 2006 Harrah's Entertainment (corporate parent of Harrah's, Caesars, Bally's and Showboat) started operating a free set of shuttles that run on a regular schedule between all of the Harrah's-owned properties. In addition, the Harrah's "Total Rewards" comp card system is now interchangeable between all of the company's Atlantic City casinos and the dozens of other casinos throughout the country.
