We just made our first stay at Bally's, and were very pleased. The room was one of the largest I have ever had, that was not a suite. The pool was still open, albeit a little chilly. The pool is large, with lots of palm trees around. The location is great for us, as we like that section of the strip. There is a direct connection to the Paris hotel, which is a place we like for the buffets. This made it almost like staying at Paris, while being less expensive. The casino is one of the older ones. We will definitely consider a repeat visit.
