Weekend at Bally's

Well, just came back from Bally's. I thought it was going to be a disaster, as the greeters at the bus arrivals terminal were the laziest ever, and kept us hostage for 30 mins. Afterward, man was I surprised. Check in was fast if you knew what you wanted. The room was clean and stocked. Virginia City Buffet is worth the price of admission and then some. The Prime Rib IS a Prime Rib. New York Strips are cooked on demand. The gaming was fine, though the Poker Room could use more organization. Room Service was outstanding, and loaded the platters. The video check-out worked, and makes life easier.
The only thing that this place needs is staff. It is VERY short staffed at this time. If going by bus, GO TO CAESAR'S and CROSS OVER to Bally's. Bally's have a VERY serious bus greeter problem at this time.
good place to stay

It was very fun and flashy. When we first arrived there it was alittle crazy, we got a standard room but it wasnt what we thought we were going to get. it looked small and closed in so we went back to the front desk told them it was not what we wanted and they upgraded us. The room they upgraded us to was in the garden tower it was beautiful, very spacey. The bathrooms were they best part they have a built in tv so it is very enjoy able room. They only bad part of the hotel was u had to pay for wifi, which was kind of pricy and they went by hours. But all and all it was a very lovely place to stay.
Bally's - Great Choice

Bally's is a great choice as Caesar's is a lot more expensive on weekends. They have more than one $10 blackjack table! The rooms are as expected but at least the prices were ok for a weekend in A/C. Great location as you have the outlet stores on the back-city side and the Pier Shops on the front. The downstairs can be a little smoky as the so-called non smoking tables are right next to the smoking ones! I wish that they would ban smoking once and for all!
The "free pool" was closed due to health reasons and the $10 one was not up to par.
Overall, the atmosphere is nice, not too cramped and lots of open spaces.
not bad at all

We arrived and were given a room in the Clairidge Tower. It was horrible, old and in desperate need of a makeover. The ceiling was patched, furniture was chipped and bathroom facilities were tiny and I could hear every word of the phone conversation from the room next door!. I asked to be moved to another room, and for an additional $ per night, we moved to the Garden Tower. Much nicer room. Roomy, bathroom facilities were nice, we had a shower only, no tub, but that was fine. Don't stay in the Clairidge Tower. Yuck.
The hotel was okay. Room key maker was down and we had to wait for it to make our new keys to move into the new room. On our last day, our keys were demagnitized, and we couldn't get into our room, and couldn't use the elevator. The employees on the casino floor were very helpful and courteous.
However, I intend to try another hotel. I have stayed at the Sheraton, Tropicanna, Hilton and now Ballys.
