| - Bally's Hotel really has me coming back for more. It is really our go-to place to stay when we visit Las Vegas.
This is an ideal center Strip hotel if you plan on checking out all the local hotels, casinos, restaurants, and shows. No need for a cab. However, they do have a free shuttle that will taxi you to Rio. With location in mind, it is definitely not one of the newer, luxury hotels. It isn't even modernized with upgrades to this centuries decor or amenities. It is a very plain hotel. BUT!, it is always well maintained and pretty clean for the most part.
Hotel registration and check-in has always been painless for us. Maybe 15 minute max wait whenever we stay here. Keep in mind, that when everyone decides to check-in all at once, it's going to take a while. Play the numbers right, and don't check in when it's too busy! Go grab a bite. We always plan ahead, always have your ID, credit card ready, and be nice to the front desk clerk! You may even get a nice upgrade. We usually do.
The pool and the atmosphere is also a nice amenity for us. It is a very basic pool and deck. Mostly sun, some shade. The scene is never obnoxious and usually more mature. A plus for us. Service is usually pretty good. The only negative I must note is that the lounges probably should be replaced or repaired. I'd say about 10% of them had a strap or two busted off or were very worn. The attendants were passive with not checking for room cards and even outside food and drink that so many patrons bring in. I assume they are aware of this practice and really don't enforce the "rule" since the crowd is pretty tame. Another plus for us. Usually a bucket of beers on ice (five, one pint aluminum brews) will throw you back $35.
As I mentioned, we usually have an upgrade to a North Tower Suite. Just like the hotel lobby and grounds, the rooms are also pretty basic, lacking amenities other luxury hotels boast. Not a big deal for us. As long as we have a nice bed and shower for a few nights. Not going to huff over an iPod dock and roman shades with a remote. When we want those things we will stay and pay somewhere else.
We always enjoy the walkway from Bally's to Paris. Always air conditioned and scenic! Save the heat and traffic from the walk outside for the night time. Always a good crowd outside Bally's on the boulevard during the night.
Really a good hotel for your buck! Please continue to be nice to us Bally's and please be nice to Bally's!
