As a regular player at Harrah's properties I received a pretty good rate for Bally's Las Vegas so I decided to give it a shot. After receiving a little something from me, the receptionist managed to move me to the North Tower - highly recommended because while it is the older of the two towers, it is the most recently renovated and is also closest to the casino, restaurants etc.
The room was very big & decently appointed. The bed was quite comfortable, the love seat was a nice touch and the thermostat was easy to use & kept the room at a nice cool temperature. Really the only complaints I have about the room are that I think the shower should have doors instead of the dollar store curtain they throw up, and also the housekeepers need to do a better job of refilling the towels.
As for the Bally's property, since I wasn't there 24/7 it was allright. The choice of restaurants could've been better, and the lack of a decent place to get coffee (other than a way overprices wannabe starbucks kiosk) was a bit of a turn-off. The problem with Bally's is that it's a long walk to get anywhere on property. Also, the pool area is pretty dull. The fact that they have a deep end - a rarity on the strip - is nice, but there's really nothing going on there, sort of a letdown if you've been to mandalay, mirage or any of the other places on the strip that have superb pools.
Overall I really can't complain too much. Employees who I encountered were very nice, dealers were mostly very nice, and they were very accomodating with anything I asked for. I guess I'm just a little bit jaded having stayed at more upscale properties, but for the price I paid I think I got my moneys worth.
