Harrahs Effect

The overwhelming rush of sensory stimulation and excitement you feel when you step off an elevator (or enter any casino-like environment) and are bombarded with flashing lights, loud music, and general chaos—simultaneously overstimulating and hype-inducing. Basically, your brain goes from 0 to 100 in seconds. Named after the experience of walking into Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City.

“I just got off the elevator at Harrah’s and got hit with the full Harrahs Effect—lights, sounds, people sitting at slots—I’m vibrating with energy right now.”
