Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City Casino Escalator

One unusual feature of the Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City is the inaccessibility of the parking garage fly-bridge. This escalator is the route most hotel guests will take – unless they use valet parking. Although the parking garage has an elevator serving all six floors, the fly-bridge on the 2nd floor that connects the parking garage to the main building (and casino) are accessible only by a short run of stairs and a narrow escalator to the main casino floor. The handicap accessible route is to take the parking garage elevator to the ground floor (requiring handicapped patrons to actually leave the enclosed building and cross the street). This also presents an unusual level of luggage and strollers being taken on this escalator, despite its extremely narrow profile. On a previous trip, I watched as a woman with a stroller nearly lost control and dropped her child. Certainly this is an area for improvement for accessibility of Harrah’s Resort.
