Ballys Las Vegas

Pros: Nice rooms, and decor, and service.
Cons: No $5.00 blackjack.

My husband and I attended a wedding in Las Vegas 10 years ago. It was agreed upon by all who went that in 10 years we would all go to Las Vegas again to celebrate the anniversary of the happy couple. Well 10 years happened faster than any of us could ...

Pros: Prime location
Cons: Old rooms, bad restaurants, bad service, weird water smell

I recently went out to Las Vegas for a convention -- to do some booth-bunnying. My company put us all up in Bally's. This is my fourth time out in Vegas and I have stayed in four different hotels. Bally's ranks third for places to stay, this ...

Pros: Food, Casino, Location, Rooms.
Cons: Entertainment

We were off for a weekend getaway to Vegas and wanted a hotel in the middle of all the action, Somewhat cheap, with a nice pool, and that had a good selection of Restaurants. We found all of those at the Bally's Hotel and Casino. The Rooms ...

Pros: Rooms, Casino, Employees
Cons: Long hallways bring your walking shoes

I must say that Bally's is a great place for fun on the Las Vegas Strip. Just be sure and bring you walking shoes for those long hallways and seeing the sites on the strip.

The exterior of this hotel is...

Pros: Easy casino floor layout, tasty buffet, and great north tower accommodations.
Cons: Total Rewards is difficult to earn free comps, and maintaining your account is harder.

Background Story I've stayed at Bally's in Las Vegas on two visits in early January 2007 and in June 2007. I decided on Bally's because the location is in the middle of all the action at Las Vegas Blvd. ("The Strip") and Flamingo Blvd. Since ...

Pros: Centralized location, mellow atmosphere, large standard rooms, monorail to MGM, reasonably priced
Cons: Some resturants need improvement

Location/Overview
Bally’s Hotel is across Las Vegas Blvd. from the Bellagio, linked to Paris via a shopping area, and in close proximity to Caesars and the Barbary Coast (just across Flamingo). It is also connected to the MGM Grand via a short...

Pros: Location. Nice Casino. Nice rooms.
Cons: Convention rooms hard to locate. Monorail sucks.

Anyone who has read my other epinions on Vegas casinos knows by now that I travel to Vegas every year for a convention. Well, last year was no exception. This time I stayed on "the strip" for the first time since the horrible Circus Circus incident....

Pros: Hey, we got The Executive Suite.
Cons: Wish we could have stayed longer.

Last summer, I got to spend time with my best friend Candic e923. We hadn't seen each other in over a year and we missed celebrating our 10 year anniversary, so we celebrated our 11th by going to Las Vegas. Candice ...

Pros: Location, nice sized rooms
Cons: Lousy Casino, Food, Pool, Bar

Bally's is not the flashiest, cushiest, or luxiorious hotel I've stayed in. But unlike its Las Vegas Strip neighbors, it's lack of an "in your face, over the top" theme is somehow appealing. Bally's is clearly more about comfort and convienience than ...

Pros: LOCATION! CLASSIC PROPERTY OF 1973. LARGER ROOMS. Okay...one more time: LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
Cons: VERY FEW IF ANY ALTHOUGH LONG CHECK-IN LINES ARE EVIDENT.

This classic hotel dates back to December 1973 when it opened in Las Vegas as The MGM Grand and headlined Mr. Dean Martin as its star or opening act. By Las Vegas standards, 1973 is a long-time ago and there are few hotels left of that era that still ...

Pros: Perfect location, friendly staff who seem accustomed to the pace.
Cons: Little things listed in review, but nothing major.

My husband had to attend a convention at Balleys in August. Though it's been 20 years since I'd been to Las Vegas, I was not prepared for all the changes. Because the trip was reimbursed by the company my husband works for, we were given the option to sta ...

Pros: No theme, large & comfortable rooms, great price
Cons: Not as much to do within the hotel as in others on the Strip (also a pro)

I like Bally's. It is Las Vegas' theme-less hotel and casino, which makes it a refreshing place to escape from the surrealism of downtown Las Vegas. Bally's has an air of elegance and style combined with excellent price and location. The other Strip...

Pros: Excellent location, clean rooms, 2-deck blackjack, Park Place card
Cons: Parking deck too far from lobby, hotel too far from the street

Several of my friends and me planned a guys' trip to Vegas in October 2002. The main activities wer ...

Pros: Ideal location on The Strip; great value; adult atmosphere
Cons: Layout and facility locations a bit confusing

We stayed at Bally's four nights, mid-week, during August 2003. This was only our second trip to La ...

Pros: Location, Room Size, Price, Tennis
Cons: Dated, Limited Restaurant Options

In the era of Bellagio, Palms, Venetian, Paris and Aladdin, Bally's is more old school - pale blue fountain in front from the '60s rather than lake-sized pond with dancing fountains synchronized to music (Bellagio) or recreation of St. Mark's Square in...
