"Is there a consensus in terms of a preference towards one of these two properties?" I don't think so- no consensus. They charge more to stay at Harrah's over Harvey's, so there is a perceived tilt to Harrah's. Rooms at Harrah's have two bathrooms (at least every room I have stayed in) and just one at Harvey's. Both places are very nice. I have stayed in both places many times, but I can't say I like one much better over the other.
Traveling with a 9 month old can be tough. Others have mentioned a lake cruise (there are many choices), Heavenly Village and the Gondola are a good idea. Will you have a car? Taking your 9 month old down to the beach might work. Get him a bucket,a shovel and set him down in some sand and he will be happy. You can drive west on Hwy 50 and you will come to El Dorado Beach and a little further is Regan beach. If no car- you can take the city bus that has stops there. There are many nice beaches at Lake Tahoe, but some are a bit further.
There are still some decent plays at South Lake Tahoe. Oh, if you are a Sigma Derby fan, MontBleu has two working units.
