Bally's Las Vegas Review

Reviewed by Phil_Ottawa from Ottawa, Canada on 11/5/08
We stayed here one night and we were pleasantly surprised. No reservations, we arrived in LV mid-week in mid-November. No problem for a room but we wanted a deal. Tried Paris but they were a little pricy and they suggested we try Bally's (all owned by Harrah's). We asked to see the room before we committed and we were given a suite for the price of an entry level room. It was fantastic. We spent a whole of 2 hours in there as we partied the rest of the 22 hours on the strip. We just needed a safe place to leave our valuables. I would go back but I have read that there are 2 towers: once which has been renovated and the other which hasn't. I have no idea if this is true. If it is, I would venture to say we stayed in the renovated tower. Our room was better than Ceasar's (surprise!!!!) This is not my first choice in Vegas but I would go back. Hotel itself is a little older. Not the greatest restaurants and stuff but if all you want is the most centrally located room you can get for the money in a true 3.5 star place ==> stay at Bally's. Just a note on what I find soooooo annoying about the Harrah's properties. They have insisted on phasing out brand name food for their own "crappy" version. No more Starbucks, etc..... they only have their own and it is bad. This is one of the reasons my teenagers aren't interested in staying at Harrah's properties (unlike the MGM Grand Hotels which continue to offer people what they want).
