weeekend of 17-19 we were heading to vegas to celebrate my exroomy's bday !
because hannah s & i did not want to shove into a ROOM with 6 other grls at ceasars palace we decided to look for another room on the strip that wouldnt break our wallets.
so after lookin & weeding out the good (ceasars, wynn, mandalay ..to $$$$ for the weekend!!) the bad ( stratosphere, planet hollywood) the ugly (circus circus, rio) on lasvegas.com we ended up with either monte carlo or ballys...then since ballys was closer to ceasars (the other girls) it was cheaper, & they were giving 2 free tickets to jubilee,thehumanshow, or ??? we took ballys for $430 (wtf !) for 17-19th 2 bed, nonsmoking..
so we ended up in the regular ol' room in the South Tower. the reviews made the s.tower sound super grungy!! i was scared to be honest...but luckily satisfied
wen i went to check in
the lady said:"ONE BED SMOKING?!"
mia: wtheck??? noo......
the lady said: "ONE BED nonsmoking? or SMOKING with 2 BEDS"
mia: uhm..neither...i requested 2 beds NON smoking
the lady said : "OOH OKAY! we got non smoking 2 bed but its next to an elevator and ur room will shake and u will hear LOUD rumbling"
mia: "wtf??????? "
the lady said: "OOOOOH wait i got one!! here ya go! theres no bathtub but a shower
mia: thats fine..
okay so hannah s, dee h, & i go up the elevator and we get to our floor... and we enter the first room to our right...(is this the elevator room?!?!)
the room is nice & big. the beds are clean no dirty stains like the gross blood stains i found at Paris....the room has a view of buffalo bills & i can see the people goin down the escalator to the street towards ceasars.
we got a big tv no plasma buts its alright and a nice table we use to eat all our late nite meals...
but um yes...so this "SHOWER" i thought she meant no seperate bathtub i wasnt expecting a HANDICAP bathroom with a seat in the shower area & where there is not actual SHOWER space but just a curtain seperating the shower from the toilet & sink so wen we shower the water flows throughout the entire bathroom with their lil drain holes throughout....we ended up having to lay out multiple towels to try to keep it from overflowing everywhere...it was gross...waking up groggy in the mornin runnin to the toilet and stepping on a LOVELY extra moist towel that squished water out all over ur calves....ICK!!!!!
however....the room was good all in all i just like big space & clean beds....nice views are great but we went for cheap this trip...
whats lame is that they dont have their own 24 hour cafe or nething just the one in paris so we ended up there twice haha...
balllys ur alright!
