Las Vegas Forum: HET offer I couldnt refuse

521 forum posts
 HET offer I couldnt refuse 

I normally don't stay at HET properties, but I rcvd an email from them last night for rates in Sept Oct and Nov.. I was looking to go back to Vegas in Nov anyway.

Nov 20 to 24th. Fri-Tues- Total $160! I coulndt refuse it. I'm sure a lot of you got the same offer, for that rate i could choose Ballys, Flamingo, IP or Harrahs.

I chose Ballys because It's a big sports weekend and they have the best sports book (it should be open by they)

I stayed at Ballys years ago for one night, I cant rememebr it.. Is it ok?? Should I ask for the North Tower???

I made the right choice correct.. Rio is off the strip, Flamingo sports book is terrible, IP not my style, and harrahs sports book not so nice...

Any Feedback my Vegas Friends??

It's good to jump on those HET offers as soon as they go out.

Last year I waited and received IP, because the rest of the comp rooms were gone. Tried over the weekend for September from the Empire magazine I got in June. All comps for the weekend I wanted were gone.

Staying at Bally's you will be attached to Paris that has a decent sports book. It's not specacular, but for a football Sunday it's a pretty decent place to watch the games.

The Harrah's book used to be pretty decent sized, but I don't know if they've changed it at all - it's been a few years since I've been by there.

I personaly wouldn't pick the hotel for the best sports book - you can always leave your hotel and go to one of the good ones - Mirage is one of my favorites.

Harrahs claims they just updated their sports books, I know they have BJ tables in the book now and They added about 15 Plasma TV's. I think out of all the HET properties (except CP) this is my best bet, I thought about just using Paris sportsbook but I've been there and it's way to small and I was not comfortable it in.

Like you said, if i dont like it I could walk North to Venetian or Wynn Sports Book...

Is it really necessary to stay at the hotel where you sit in the sports book? Ballys has the nicest rooms (north tower)

Paris has a nice little sports book--with the BEST cocktail service:)(and my fav Blue Moon beer at the bar)

We stayed at Bally's a few years ago. It was nice! I like the location more than anything. That was a great offer! You did good.
