We got a decent rate for a one night stay. Booked for a double queen bed and the room was spacious.
When we arrived late at the counter there was a long line. Service was slow. Only three people were working on a busy night. So it took awhile to checkin, but the front desk chick was friendly.
Our stay on the side of the 8th floor we had a view: the "Linq" strip mall sign, liquor store, the monorail tracks was close so we see it pass by every 30 minutes, Cromwell hotel, the Flamingo hotel and some lights from "The Strip".
The comfort level was good because of how spacious our room was. The bath was decent and clean. Our room was non-smoking and didn't stink. The queen bed we slept in was just okay.
The kinks:
- Hole on the bed sheet
- Room AC sounded like a bathroom fan
- Electrical outlets are out of place
We were told that the newer rooms are on the front of the hotel. Before my stay here I always wondered the theme of this hotel. Is Bally's a Tomorrow-land theme? The monorail that stops by and the round arches at the front hotel entrance makes it seem like it just a tiny bit? Anyways, it's now part of my list of collection of Vegas on the strip hotel stays.
Being one of the oldest hotels on strip may not be your typical "Bally's Total Fitness" but if it fits within a budget for a quick stay, it's recommended.
