"We chose to stay at Ballys because of its price and location on the strip. Sure, its no four or five star hotel and it is showing its age and needs to be spruced up in some areas, but overall our room was very clean and the staff were very friendly. We didn't gamble here much since the crowd was a bit strange, but I would definitely stay here again. The $20 trick worked on the front desk attendant when checking in and we were able to get a newer room higher up in the newer tower, so that is worth a try if you go."^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "4"^^ .
