| - Kind of the -Days Inn- of the strip. If I were to suddenly polka dot, nay, spray can paint you with random epithets, I'd say this place is family oriented, underwhelming in the gaming area department, corporate-feeling, astonishingly affordable for the location and unmemorable compared to what you can possibly spoil yourself with on other parts of the strip.
Parking here kind of blows. They make you feel second rate from the get-go. You can self-park and when you get to the elevator, you have to walk through Paris (not a bad thing really, but time consuming) to get to the Bally's registration area, which always seems to have long queues.
We stayed in the newly renovated North Tower, deluxe room. Averaging $77 a night for Monday and Tuesday nights, I feel like the hotel could have averaged $30 a night had we stayed longer. The luck I had in Vegas made me rue the day a bit.
That said, the deluxe room just seemed to lack the amenities I had taken for granted as a guest at Mandalay Bay and the Palms in the past. No refrigerator, big boxy television, a tub for a bath and not even a couch to lay down on. The beds DO make up for it and are rather comfortable and spic 'n' span clean.
Stay here if you'll need more gambling money. But gamble elsewhere. Anywhere elsewhere.
