I know some of you have been to Harrahs New Orleans. I have to be down there on business and was wondering, location wise, is it convenient to the French Quarter/Bourbon Street.

Can I walk there? If you can walk it, is it safe?

If it is not convenient can you suggest somewhere else to stay.

I don't know the geography--I have never been there. But it appears they will give me a free room at Harrahs. Is the hotel pretty nice? I won't be gambling (well---maybe a little at night) but that is not my purpose for being there.

Do you need a car down there or can you get around without/
