Go to Vegas often so I've been to several hotels. Ballys is a "fine" hotel if you just want to sleep somewhere. The crowd is a little - below par. Rooms have been redecorated, look somewhat art deco-ish. It's quite a walk to get to the pool- through the shopping strip. The pool is pretty simple - a little old looking. Actually, it was part kind of nice to be away from a "scene". Fine hotel to stay at if you want just a place to sleep.
