My group of friends takes an annual trip to Vegas which went on a two-year hiatus and resumed in 2009. Each year, we stay at Bally's: at first because of its central location and low rates, and more recently because we accumulate enough points to have the rooms discounted or comped. It's a good "starter" hotel, and we find it good enough to keep coming back.
Both the hotel and the casino are the plainest of the plain, but they serve a purpose. Usually we stay here and gamble part of the time next door at Paris. On this trip, we did a four-hour stint at the Bally's pai gow table on Friday night which should set us up with the comps for next year.
There's really almost nothing to say about the hotel. We've stayed here so much that the rooms look eerily identical; even last weekend, after three years had passed since I had been there, it was like deja vu. The water pressure in the shower was really crappy this time; otherwise, it's just a hotel room. You shouldn't be spending much time in the room anyway, right?
