| - We chose to stay at Bally's because of it's location on the strip.
Upon arriving at the hotel, we asked about an upgrade, and for an additional $20 we got a Jacuzzi tub and a view of "The Linq".
The good:
Location on the strip can't be beat, right across from the Bellagio and connected to the Paris. Didn't feel like I had to walk too far to anything. Close to bus stop out in front.
The room was nice and clean on a non smoking floor.
Spacious floor plan and comfortable bed.
Multiple sinks and great vanity area for a girl and her makeup, there is even a little stool to sit on.
The not-so-good:
The tile in the bath area is ridiculously slippery when the slightest bit wet, and the shower temperature and pressure was poor.
Whenever someone above or below you uses their shower, the loud sound of water wakes you up, as does the sirens on the street passing by multiple times a night. I, however, had a terrible head cold on my trip so I had trouble sleeping anyway.
The pool was closed and construction being done at the entrance.
I understand Vegas isn't cheap, but $3.50 for a bottle of water in the shop downstairs? Room service has a $20 minimum plus delivery fee - they wanted $15 for hot water for tea?! Luckily I didn't bother.
No mini fridge - maybe only suites have them?
I know people don't come to Vegas to watch TV in their room, but since I had the aforementioned head cold, I had to come back to the room to rest and the channels are extremely limited. Mostly Vegas ads, and Japanese channels.
All in all, the location trumps the other issues and I would stay here again (next time with no cold!)
