Anyone ever stay there. Wondering how nice a hotel it is. I'm used to staying at caesars or venetian but they are sold out two of the 4 days im going out and i got bally's for 140.00 for 4 nights. three nights comped. I know it's definitely a step down from the other two but how far a step down. Any info thanks.

On a 1-5 scale, it's about a 2.5. Not a dump, but not a great property.Comment -
Very big step down from Venetian, and a petty big one from Caesars.Comment -
Your in the same area, are you there for the room or action jackson, definitely step down but it ll all work outComment -
Rooms are very spacious, especially if you grease the clerk a $20 at check in. Very clean, not luxurious but nice. You cannot beat the location on the strip -- central to everything. It is my choice of where to set up -- not expensive and I usually get comped the whole stay. Also easy access to Flamingo (next door), Paris (inside tunnel), and Planet Hollywood (two hotels down). I know the hotel well, so let me know if you have any specific questions about it.Comment -
wow sounds like your a real VIP
ballys does have the "superstar" option you can upgrade too
they have their staff follow you around all day throwing rose pedals at your feet while on the propertyComment -
I stayed there a few years ago.
The pluses are big rooms and centrally located on the strip.
Nothing wrong with the place or the rooms. I'm sure they are not as nice as the newer casinos.Comment -
if you stay there they will send you a lot of free shit for future stays! they comp pretty decent as well!Comment -
the casino directly across the street is very good for large free booze. i forget the name of the place. its a smaller casino, but great for getting trashed and stumbling back to your room!Comment -
haven't stayed since the evil empire took over so i dont know how far its fallen, but it was comparable to the older rooms at ceasars. you will want south tower upgraded rooms. the north tower has rooms with direct views of the fountains at bellagio, but they are old. rooms and location are the highlights, casino and food are not so good.Comment -
I like their "Big Kitchen Buffet"...It's definitely a chance at gaining 10 pounds during your stay

closed, but ballys and paris are actually one hotel, with two names, and the buffet at paris is excellent. so good the lines are too long. the big kitchen had the same food , just less selection at a lower price and no lines.Comment -
The place is a dump, but you won't be in the casino or room very long anyway.Comment -
was cool back in like 1991Comment -
Definitely the way to go, but you will only be able to line shop at Ballys, Bellagio, Aria, MGM, or take the monorail to LV Hilton --- all of the Harrahs properties have the same lines.
The place across the street with the cheap booze is Bill's Gambling Hall, which is the old Barbary Coast. Go there to see a cheap but entertaining show from Fat Elvis.
I'm far from a VIP or high roller -- just a platinum card holder from Harrahs's which is one tier up from the Gold which everyone gets.Comment -
And I would avoid Rio....... besides the off strip location, Harrah's is trying to unload the property and make Planet Hollywood the replacement for its big events like the WSOP, and Miss USA.
If you do go to Rio -- Penn and Teller put on a great show that isn't expensive.Comment -
good location, sportsbook sucks empty, back in the day it was one of the best bigComment -
I stayed there a few years ago and thought it was fine. As another poster said, rooms are clean and you can't beat the location. Same could also be said for Bill's across the street. Same central location and even cheaper than Bally's.
Neither will give you the "I'm a pimp in Vegas" impression but if you want a center strip location and plan on gambling at other casinos, you can't go wrong.Comment -
Once limited my horse bets to 5 dollars max back in the day of non pari-mutual wagering. Have not returned since.Comment -
I love Bally's. It's not as nice as Venetian or Bellagio, but it is very decent. And you can walk through there with jeans and a t-shirt, and you're fine. Great price and great location also. If you have a Harrah's card and play at all on it, you should get free rooms during the week. MGM Grand and Bally's are my two favorite hotels. Classy, but not extravagant.Comment -
The price is right is filming there during the bash.......Comment -
Nothing special but not bad at all...Comment -
older hotel, i think they still have the marks from the mgm fire on walls. paris is nicer in every aspect, bill's not bad either.Comment -
