The casino is one of three in the marina district (away from the Boardwalk and ocean beach) of the city, along with the Borgata and the Golden Nugget.

Harrah's Atlantic City was conceived, and initial construction started, by a partnership of LM Walters Co and Holiday Inns.

Harrah's Waterfront Tower rises 46 stories above the Marina in Atlantic City.

On a square footage basis, this installation is believed to be the largest exterior LED display surface in the world.

[10] In July 2020, Eldorado Resorts acquired Caesars Entertainment, taking over operations of the property.

In connection with that acquisition, Vici Properties bought the real estate of Harrah's Atlantic City for $599 million and leased it back to Eldorado (newly renamed as Caesars Entertainment).

The 800-seat Broadway by the Bay Theater opened on December 31, 1980, with singing team Sandler and Young.

The room featured many of the staples of Harrah's properties in Reno and Lake Tahoe including Sammy Davis Jr., Andy Williams, The Oak Ridge Boys, Marilyn McCoo, Shecky Greene and Suzanne Somers.

Recent headliners have included Ron White, Penn & Teller and Patti LaBelle.

[18] The new pool at Harrah's is located under a large glass dome and is surrounded by palm trees and other plants.

Due to the landscaping and warm temperature year-round, the pool has become a very popular destination in the city.

On Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights, the pool is transformed into "The Pool After Dark," offering live DJ music with artists such as 50 Cent, PSY, Jesse McCartney, and VIP Bottle Service.
