Room Descriptions

Premium rooms at Harvey's are on higher floors and tend to be newer and they apparently have larger beds, compared to luxury rooms.

Given that prices are the same, you will probably want the premium rooms above the luxury rooms, while availability lasts.

Most conference events will be at Harveys, except posters, demos, and some workshops. So if being nearby the conference is important, you may want to book at Harveys - however it only takes about 5 minutes to walk from one venue to the other.

Room Sharing

Harrah's is particularly well-suited for sharing a room because every room has two bathrooms.

NIPS cannot help you find a roommate, but we suggest you look on twitter.
