Stayed of Bally's because of the great location! You're near a lot of great hotels within a short walk away. Got a free upgrade to a North Tower room (just ask at registration desk). It was a very clean and huge room with nice comfy bed. Not impressed with their casino or service at casino but who needs Bally's when there's lots of others nearby!Next time I go back I'll definately stay there again!

Loved this place! Got a great deal online (be sure to check their websites if your travel dates are flexible), and the location in the middle of the strip is perfect for exploring both ends by foot - plus there is a monorail station right outside if you get tired, shuttle to off strip hotels like the Rio! Very friendly and helpful front desk too. Also liked the fact that it was joined to Paris so that you could use some of their amenities (business services etc).

This was my second trip to Vegas and my husband I had a very different experience. We stayed at Bally's for two nights($84.00 a night June). The check in line was extremely long and when we got to our room we had an okay view and an okay room. Nothing like the MGM ($98.00 a night in October), which we stayed at for our first visit to Vegas, very chic, but not too stuffy. Overall, the stay at Bally's was decent, however the shower was a disaster. It was like camping, there was just a lonely old shower curtain that "kept" the water from escaping the stall. After every shower we had to tend to cleaning duty by mopping up the floor :(
Good thing our stay was for a wedding. I don't recommend this hotel for a vacation. MGM & Paris are a great bet.

Our stay at Bally's was good overall. You cannot beat the location, central on the strip (Bellagio, Caesar's and Flamingo across the street. Also an easy walk to the Venetian). And you cannot beat the price. We had two rooms in the North Tower and were quite pleased with them. The shower pressure could have been a lot better though.

I did like the pool, even though it was nothing special. It was large though and there were plenty of chairs. I hate having to go down at 7am to fight for a chair, not a problem at Bally's. The drinks at the bar are outrageous. $7 for a Bud Light. If you step inside passed the towel girls, there is a little shop that sells the same beer for $3.50 and you are allowed to bring it to the pool. It's not even farther than walking to the bar. A small fruity drink at the pool bar is $12. Yikes.

We enjoyed the food at Johnny's Delicatassen, and at Nosh. I also liked how Bally's is connected indoors to Paris, so there are more food options etc. We did take the free shuttle from Paris to the Rio as well. I did not think the walk from Bally's to the shuttle area of Paris is that far.

My only complaint with Bally's really is the smokey casino. I do think it was one of the worst for smoke. This was our first time in Vegas so we visited almost every single casino/hotel.

I think Bally's is perfectly fine if you want a cheaper hotel that is in a central location.
