The Spotlight on Harrah's Council Bluffs Hotel & Casino

Stay, Play, and Rock Out at Harrah's Council Bluffs Hotel & Casino

Modern comfort meets vibrant entertainment at Harrah's Council Bluffs Hotel & Casino, nestled beside Dodge Park Golf Course and just a short drive from downtown Omaha. With scenic river or golf course views, free WiFi, and on-site dining, this hotel blends convenience with a lively casino atmosphere—perfect for music lovers looking to keep the party going before and after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Fans appreciate the quick 6-minute drive to local venues and the easy access to downtown Omaha nightlife. The hotel’s 24/7 casino energy makes it a great place to keep the night alive, and its location offers a quieter spot to recover just outside the downtown hub. With flexible late check-in from 4:00 PM and ride shares readily available, it's easy to slide in after a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for casino fun before or after the concert
  • Solo travelers who want a secure, all-in-one spot
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
  • Fans needing a peaceful room with views to wind down
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want comfort without downtown prices

Food and Drink Options

The hotel boasts multiple dining options, including the elegant 360 Steakhouse offering panoramic views from the 12th floor—perfect for pre-show dinners or post-show bites. While there’s room service, it’s not 24/7, but late-night cravings are easily solved with nearby eateries or in-casino snacks. Coffee in-room is a bonus for late mornings, and breakfast is available for those recovering from a night out.

Nightlife Options

With the casino open late and an in-house bar scene that stays buzzing, you won’t have to go far for entertainment. Plus, you're just a short Uber from Omaha’s lively bar and music scene. Whether you want to sip a craft beer or hit the slots, there’s something for every mood.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms, especially the river views. Reviews point out the friendly staff, easy parking, and the convenience of having dining, entertainment, and lodging all in one place. Many say it’s their go-to spot when attending concerts nearby.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the decor feels dated in parts of the hotel, and a few wished for more late-night food options after midnight. However, the overall vibe and location make up for these minor quirks.

The Bottom Line

If you want to stay close to the action without sacrificing comfort or convenience, Harrah's Council Bluffs Hotel & Casino is a solid bet for any concert-goer.

Frustrated, but good location

Liked: Advertised for $75, added taxes and resort fee to get it to $102 when I booked. After booking I got a message from the resort saying that when I checked in there would be another $14 resort fee due to cover wi-fi and the complementary shuttle. This must have been per person, because I ended up getting charged $135. Oh and the shuttle was closed. We shouldn’t need to pay for WiFi in this day and age- wasn’t even there to use it. Just be up front about the cost at the beginning of the booking. The check in process took more than 30 minutes. I ended up getting 3 separate charges on my credit card that I am hoping will get resolved. I know we all have been new at our jobs at one time or another, but it was still frustrating. They bed sheets were very scratchy and when you used the shower valve to change from shower to tub, it would just fall out. Other than that, nice location, the room was clean.
