I just returned from a 4 night stay at Bally's for a conference. Las Vegas is not someplace I've ever had a strong desire to visit but I enjoyed my stay. Bally's seemed like a central location on the strip. I loved being able to go outside and see the Bellagio fouuntaines accross the street and I visited Paris a few times since it is conected via this really neat indoor 'sidewalk in Paris' with shops and restaurants. I walked to the Mirage for a show which was an easy distance. It seemed like it would be a good spot to explore more of the strip.

I was under the impression when I booked the stay through the conference block of rooms that I would be in one of the South Tower rooms. When I read the reviews of them and saw the pictures posted on this site I was pretty disappointed. I was very pleasantly surprised when I was given a North Tower King room on the 20th floor when I checked in. They are still your basic hotel fare but they are roomy, have comfortable loveseat size chairs and nice desks. The decor is very warm and the bathrooms are large with marble vanities. I do have to mention that the TV selection was a bit odd - the Weather Channel, CNN and one or two local channels were all I got except for several Japanese channels. Not that I was there to watch TV but it surprised me at any rate. I know the south tower rooms have nice views of the strip so I was surprised at the view from my room. I could see mountains on either side and some limited views of the strip.

I ordered room service a few times (a couple times were just for coffee) and the food and coffee were very good and they were quick enough. It never took more than 30 minutes or so. For some reason I didn't have a coffee pot in my room the first night but then I did for the next 3 nights. It worked well and made a decent cup of coffee.

The lines were long at times for check in and check out but that seemed to be the norm in Vegas. I would definitely stay there again. I really felt comfortable in my room and it was very quite every night.

Stayed at Bally's last week passing through on a business trip. Having stayed there several times before, I knew what to expect but after this visit, I'm about done. Bally's is an old property - no denying that. The steakhouse is not very good, the spa is average at best and the rooms are really showing their age. Though Harrhas tried to dress up the bathrooms with some granite, the mattresses are either old or cheap, and the pillows are rock hard. Plus, I was put on the 7th floor right above Flamingo, and I never went to sleep because of the noise. Nothing to write home about here - plenty of options elsewhere.

Our family attended a wedding at Paris Hotel and many of us stayed at Bally's. Our stay was from Oct 23 to Oct 27 and between us we had 4 rooms all in the south tower.Check in was fast and they didn't bother us for an upgrade. Our room was clean as well as the bathroom but they did show some ware and beds were comfortable and both rooms was very large. Our maid service was good and you could get any extras you needed by just asking. We had a partial view of the Bellagio and the fountain and the Paris Hotel, the lights were spectaular at night. Our a/c worked very well and was not loud and there was very little hall noise, we never had to wait more than a minute or two to use elevators up or down. Yes on Thursday there were food trays left in the hallway but by Friday they were gone and the hallways were clear rhe rest of the week-end.
We used the pool once and it was fine and we did get our drinks in the little store by the pool towels. We didn't eat any meals at Bally's but did some some slots but didn't win much. The drink servers came around quite often when gambling and all the staff we dealt with were very pleasant . I would stay again and my other family members would too and the location was excellent .

The rooms were nice. I was skeptical about staying here, but was very impressed overall. I thought the hotel would be outdated, but it wasn't. We had a lot of fun and the staff was great. The location was perfect!!! We will definatly be back.
