| - PROS:
- Stayed in the North Tower of the hotel with a view of the north side of the strip. $40 on a Saturday. Pretty good.
- Near EVERYTHING we love in Vegas... very easy walking distance to everything.
- Parking was somewhat close (had to go through Paris), but easy.
- Room was renovated (we think?) and was more than adequate for our $40 one-night stay.
- Bed was comfortable and linens were seemingly clean.
- Bathroom was much larger than most "standard" hotel rooms on the strip. And clean with lots of towels.
- Ballsy has one of my favorite casinos, and connected to Paris, which also has a great casino.
- Express check-out made it a whole lot easier.
- Widescreen TV (not HD), but still had all the channels we liked.
CONS:
- Check-in took FOREVER.
- On the way to Hotel Registration, was stopped by a guy trying to sell us on a hotel package.... we had just arrived and I was flu-ish and the last thing we needed was to be held up by a guy trying to sell us a bad deal. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get get rid of this promotion... NO ONE WILL BUY IT!!!!
- Concierge says no restaurants in the hotel are open after midnight. So when we returned to our room at 1pm and needed something eat -- whatever, as long as it's close -- our only option was heading to Paris or somewhere across the street. Trudge, trudge, trudge. And the cold air from the cold night was sobering. (Ballys -- Your Sea website says they're open until 2am, but yet they closed at midnight. Pffft.)
- Bottled water at the gift shop is $5.
- Wi-Fi is $14. Cellular service on the iPad sucked.
All in all, I'd probably book again, but will bring some snacks with me in the future.
