Ballys Hotel, Las Vegas
 

my wife and i are thinking of staying at ballys for our 10th anniversary. we have been to vegas 3 times but have never been in this hotel. the location seems very good and wondered if anyone had any information on the quality of the hotel. <BR>thank you.

I haven't stayed at the hotel, but did go through the casino earlier this month and it seemed fine. Bally's adjoins with Paris now and also offers a tram to MGM Grand which will get you close to NYNY. Bally's is a good location in my opinion.

I was Vegas in Nov (3 yrs since my last visit) and was shocked by how run down Bally's appeared. I did not stay at Bally's but rather next door at Paris, however, was really realy surprised. In fact one of my co-workers and both said it looked like it could be the next hotel to razed. I remember it as being one of the top hotels just a few yrs back. Just goes to show how quickly Vegas changes. I would recommend Paris, Bellagio, or Ceasar's (all same area).

Quite frankly, I don't understand why so many of you are so impressed with Paris! The casino is cheap and tawdry looking compared to the other new hotels!!

I disagree with David. I have stayed at Bally's at least 4 times and never had a problem nor did I feel it was 'run down'. My last stay there we were in a lovely room, which appeared to be just redone. I have always liked the location of Bally's, close to everything, and its low key, understated approach, rather than the 'in your face' like at NYNY. I recommend it.

We go to Vegas several times a year. Bally's is a good location, the rooms are fine, clean and fairly spacious-no complaints, actually. Caesars is being totally remodeled - you might want to check rates there - still our favorite!

I stayed at Bally's last August and the room we had was lovely - big and clean and had a great view over the "Eiffel Tower" and the fountains at Bellagio. The reception area and casino were also clean as were the restaurants and shopping areas. It was in a great location. There's a connection to the Paris hotel and a free tram to MGM and other hotels on the way. I actually liked also, that there wasn't a theme about the hotel. <BR> <BR>Anne in Australia
