Harrah's has the best poker room in AC, imo, but it's also pretty small. Last time I've seen it was only to eat at the McCormick and Schmick's next door, but I remember playing in it once and it was only 10-15 tables iirc.

If you plan on making a trip out of it instead of just gambling, I definitely recommend the Tropicana instead (or Ballys/Caesars if you want a Harrah's owned resort for comp purposes) because it's on the boardwalk/beach and offers much more to do and more places to eat. Trop actually has a very nice interior, much akin to the places in Vegas, with shops and stores to walk around, as well as, like I said, access to the boardwalk and most of the other hotels. Harrahs on the other hand, is out in the middle of a lagoon with nothing near it other than the Borgata (borg and harrah's are definitely the nicest hotels in AC, though) and so no access to the beach/boardwalk or other hotels. The Borgata and Harrah's also have, on average, higher table limits than the beachfront hotels.

My favorite hotel in AC is probably Harrah's, though I usually prefer to stay at Caesar's or Bally's and spend time in Tropicana because of the locations of the latter. Fortunately for me, I live only about 1:45 away and can go for the day.
