| - I stayed in the North Tower of Bally's Las Vegas for a ridiculous $27/night over Labor Day weekend 2011 on the Las Vegas Strip. First, if you don't know, Bally's connects to neighboring upscale Paris and it is an easy walk between the two casinos. Restaurants, shops, gaming and upscale decor abounds. Traveling on my own for personal business, I didn't hit the cheap buffet or any of the shows.
Check-in was easy with only a short wait. Service was helpful and quick, the room in the North Tower was clean, very nice and quiet (per my request, always ask for a quiet room location in Vegas), internet service was $12 for 24 hours. The AC worked, was not excessively loud, and the bathroom had strong water pressure. I did not eat room service or at the restaurant but I have no doubt it was excellent. (In fact, I've not had a bad meal in Vegas even at dive bars)
Ballys prime strip location offers easy access to the monorail service up and down the strip and on foot there is plenty to do right outside. I spent some time in nearby Miracle Mile Shops (a huge mall with shops, bars, clubs, etc., connected to Planet Hollywood) just a short walk away.
The self parking garage (free) offers easy access to Paris and as mentioned a short walk to Ballys. In terms of gaming, the service was good, the floor was lively, well lit and clean, no odors, carpet looked fresh and not dingy. Overall, I was very pleased with Bally's and would stay there again. Recommended and ideal for active couples, families or traveling alone.
