Please consider bringing back the coat room, it would sure make my day a lot more fun and I am sure it would make a lot more people happy too. That is a real pain in the butt to have to do that. We visit Harrahs at least once a week so it would be great not to have to carry my bulky coat around with me all afternoon long. I am older so I do have to protect against catching a cold. Harrah's casino poker. Thanks Harrahs in Metropolis!
