We stayed at Bally's south tower Room # 6827 for 3 nights Oct 15-17, 2008. We paid $70, $80, and $180 for the 3 nights. Booked directly thru the hotel website.

Our room was in the South tower (closest to the strip), on the 18th floor, with a south facing view of Paris and Bellagio, and the south part of the strip.

The room was basic in decor, at little dated, but not bad. Two queen beds (comfortable), a six drawer chest, a small round table and two chairs, a large closet with mirrored doors, a big bathroom with loads of mirrors, and a fantasic window wall overlooking the south strip.

The South tower has one set of six elevators, 3 for the lower floors and 3 for the upper floors. The South tower is closest to the strip, but furtherest from the restaurants, connector to Paris, pool, spa and parking. If you drive, you have to park behind Paris or use the Bally's valet.

Check-in and out was super, super easy. Ordered room service for one breakfast. A little slow, but very nice and tasty. Ate at the Sidewalk Cafe twice. Good food, good service, reasonable prices. Order the fruit plate (not on the menu, but a real good option!).

Bally's has no buffet currently, but Paris has a good one next door. The pool is a long walk, as is the spa and the monorail station.

The South tower has better views than the North tower, but the North tower had more recently decorated and updated rooms. You will pay more for North tower rooms.

Any questions, please email: rmw5597@hotmail.com. Good luck!

Stayed at Ballys for a week recently and thoroughly enjoyed it
we asked for a room in the north tower and got it however after one night we asked to change due to noise from Flamingo Rd
Staff were excellent and changed my room to the other side of the north tower and a higher floor. Both rooms were nice and the room on the 16th floor had a coffee maker ! . Staff at Ballys very pleasant

My main criticism was not about Ballys but the large number of timeshare people both in the hotels and on the strip. At times they are almost pulling you into places so beware.

Huge amount of construction in and around the strip if able hire a car and see around the area outwith the strip well worth a look.

We would definitely stay at Bally's again.

Best features: (1) Standard rooms are bright, clean and very large with comfortable beds. (3) Room prices are reasonable. (3) Center strip location is great - Paris, Bellagio, Caesar's Palace and Flamingo all within a short walk.

Casino and restaurants are fairly average, but there are dozens of alternatives nearby.

The only complaint ... why don't the major strip hotels put coffee makers in their rooms?? Oh yeah, they want you to go downstairs for the fancy $3 coffee. :)

Bally's Hotel & Casino was awesome! The hotel was very nice -not as glamorous as some of the other hotels on the strip, but a classic. It connects into the Paris Hotel & Casino. The location was pretty good too, right on the strip and in front of the Bellagio and neighbors to Caesar's Palace, the Flamingo and Paris hotels.

The sevice at Bally's were excellent from the front desk to the housekeeping staff. The rooms were very comfortable and a good size. Amenities were plentiful here!
