I got a killer deal for Bally's and I figured that location was well worth the deal if anything... glad I took the deal. Very spacious room for the price and probably the best view I've ever had while staying at a Strip hotel. I wasn't a fan of the construction in the front where the people mover used to be, but overall the experience was pretty good and the location is perfect on the Strip.
Bally's also gets high marks for their casino... clean, high and well lit ceilings, and the smoke isn't too bad compared to other Strip casinos. Also, super easy access to Paris next door via "Le" tunnel.
