Hotel needs to be rennovated it is old and smells. When checking in guy didn't even look at me or give me a greeting. Most dealers not very happy to have that job. All in all I would suggest you stay somewhere else even if it costs more. I WILL NEVER STAY OR RECOMMEND BALLYS. Just my opinion-good luck

We stayed at Bally's in Las Vegas for one night and have mixed feelings about the casino/hotel. There was a line when checking in (not enough help) and the check-in person said that the non-smoking king room that I booked months in advance was not available and I would have to take a room with one queen bed for the same price. I thought about it for a minute and realized that the hotel was "down-grading" my room and I asked to speak to the manager. The clerk asked me for my ID again and, checked with the manager and then said that "a room miraculously became available" -- so we were able to stay in the king room. The check-in person was very sarcastic and this experience made me dislike the hotel. The hotel is in a very good location and the rate was good. The casino seemed dated and not too interesting, but our room was nice. It was missing basic amenities such as an extra towel and a coffee pot, but overall it was good. I would stay here again - only if I got an excellent rate -- and then I would take advantage of the good location and hang out at Paris or the Bellagio.

Can't believe that you have to be a diamond card holder to have a coffee pot. Every time we stay the rule changes. In 2008 no; in Winter 09 yes then no again in June. Harrahs needs to just put pot in all rooms. Not having one doesn't get me out of the room any faster.

I stayed at Bally's for 4 nights through a comp with the Harrah's slot club, Total Rewards. At check in I flashed a $20 (known as the $20 trick) and was upgraded from a south tower room to a junior suite in the north tower, which is the remodeled tower. The room and view was awesome! The room was really big and very clean. There was a separate vanity area outside the bathroom, and the bathroom itself had lots of granite and was huge. The bed was soft and comfortable. The elevators were very quick.

My only complaint was that the water pressure in the shower was lacking. It seemed about half the water came out of the tub part, even though I had turned on the shower part. Another thing to think about is if you are on the side that faces the Flamingo, you'll hear some street noise as there is a fire station not too far away. I'm a heavy sleeper so it didn't bother me, but if you are a light sleeper, request a high floor.

Overall, my stay at Bally's was great! The location is very good, the casino is quiet and calm (compared to some of the more "hip" places around) and I felt safe there, even at 3am. I would definitely stay here again!
