Bally's Room 7037

We just got back from Bally's, and we requested and received (with no tipping) a South Tower room, 20th floor, overlooking Paris/Eiffel Tower with a partial view of Bellagio/dancing fountains.  We verified our $29 room rate. We had room 7037, and were very pleased with the view.  I had asked for a King room (non-smoking), but ended up with two doubles (I think the clerk said they were queens but they sure looked like doubles to us!  We have a queen bed at home, so I think we know what they look like.)  However, I just loved the view so we decided to stick with it.  Maybe you can get a King room with the same view.  Every time the Bellagio fountains would go off, I sat in a chair by the window and took it all in. Index

Ballys Room 1779

View of the strip north of Bally's( a bit of traffic-street noise), all the nice goodies in the bathroom, in room safe,  bigger that usual room, 2 chairs, table, and a sort of  sofa chair thing, TV (a must for the 16yr old) w/ enough channels. Over all not too bad, but a bit worn. Index

Bally's Room 1825

Bally's was wonderful!! We stayed in Room 1825 in the North Tower. The room was recently remodeled and was large, clean, and had a great view looking toward Flamingo, Venetian, etc. I scored a great rate for the rooms when I booked online using the Bally's website. Cost was $55 for Wed, Thur, and Sunday nights. $85 for Friday and Sat. Not too shabby, especially considering the Holyfield-Ruiz fight going on that weekend at Paris.Index

Bally's Room 2535 - Junior Suite
It was gorgeous, we had a direct view, dead on of the Bellagio and the
fountain show. In the distance you could see the Rio, and to the left was Paris and the Eiffel Tower and a also straight ahead, a beautiful sunset!!  It was big, with 2 queen beds, a couch, a desk with a telephone with a data port, and a big TV.  The closet was huge with a safe inside and an iron and ironing board.  This was one of the newly re-done rooms, and the bathroom was gorgeous with all new marble floor and counter, and fixtures, and a hairdryer.  It was really nice.  Close to the elevators and ice machine too! Index

Bally's Room 2173/2139 posted 6/20/01

Stayed at Bally's, our first time there. We were very impressed. The remodeled rooms are really nice, the restaurants were good, casino was decent, service excellent. We booked back in March for $49 a night - it was a steal! Room included a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, safe ($3 per day if used, not each time it is accessed, as has been reported). Our room had two queen beds and in addition to all the standard furniture there was a nice desk with two chairs and a very large, comfortable easy chair. The bathroom was not Paris-level luxury but was very nice, with a large vanity and cubby holes offering plenty of room for all our stuff. Room 2173 had a decent view Northward. Friends in 2139 had a nice view of Bellagio, etc.  In Bally's casino I never saw any $5 blackjack, just $10 and up, which was OK with us. Occasionally they'd have a $5 craps table, usually $10 also. Always two $10 pai gow tables going, sometimes three our four. They didn't have enough shufflemasters to go around, so sometimes there was a pai gow table that was hand-shuffled. Time-consuming, which can be a plus I guess - but always seems unlucky for me. Always at least one mini-baccarat table, I think it was $10 in the day time and $25 in evenings. Their high- limit gaming area next to the Jubilee theater is pretty open to the rest of the casino, and features a really beautiful design on walls and ceiling which the dealer told us was by Versace.

Bally's Room: 1702 posted 7/01
Smoking:         Yes
Day: Sunday Monday  Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Rate: 100

Agency: Through the company travel agent

Amenities: 19" TV, chairs & table, 2 queen beds, standard bathroom gear
View: One could see the Paris hotel rooms, and the Bally's South tower - and between them was most of the Paris Eiffel Tower. Also had a great (ugly) view of the roof of the casino. 
Other: The room was sufficient, but after staying at Caesar's, I was a bit disappointed. Granted the price is lower, but it just didn't impress me. It was a long trek to the Strip from the North tower. Index

Ballys Room: 6921
    
Anyway, we were able to check into our room at 3:00. It was Room 6921 in the South Tower. EXCELLENT!!! Great view of the Eiffel Tower and Paris’ swimming pool. Was able to see about half of the Bellagio fountains, and when that was performing we could open up our window and hear the music too. The view at night was incredible. Our windows were a bit dirty but didn’t distort any view. The room was large, comfortable and very clean. Lots of mirrors in the bathroom. Very impressed with the bars of soap they gave us. I bet they were ¾ size of the ones used at home! Index

Ballys Room: 7233
Day:  Monday
Bally's now offers a 360 degree view of a typical 2-bedded room on their web site - worth doing before you go. Windows were a bit dirty on outside as I read here, but could see ½ of Bellagio fountain from our room #7233. Excellent. If for some reason you prefer North tower (set way back from strip but closer to MGM monorail and pool), stay away from the Flamingo Road side rooms - noisy. Index

Ballys Room: 1055 posted 9/25/01

We were in room 1055 at Bally's, which is in the North Tower (I think - they didn't make a big deal about towers). This room has 2 queen size beds with a bench at the end of each, a round table with 2 straight-back chairs, 2 additional chairs that were more for lounging around than sitting at the table. There was a chest of drawers, with 9 medium size drawers in a 3x3 arrangement. Overall, it was a nice size for 3 people, we certainly weren't even close to cramped. There was a safe in the closet, but the charge was $3/day for use. Also stored in the closet were a luggage stand, ironing board, and iron. There were 2 bottles of water in the bathroom - I think they were the 1.5 liter size, although I didn't look; at $4.50 each, we weren't about to open them.  This was on a no smoking floor. There was a hair dryer in the bathroom (which had a shower/tub combination, rather than separate or shower-only), but there was no coffee pot provided (which we missed having)

Being on the 10th floor, there was a bit of a view from the window. The room faces west. The lower half of the view was cut off by the roof of a lower portion of Bally's, and the left side by one of the towers at Paris. We were able to see part of Bellagio, across the street, and could see *PART* of the fountain show - when they were shooting up into the air high enough to clear the roofline of that lower roof. We had a good view of Bally's skyway access ramp area, which is sort of an enclosed walkway that's lit up with changing colors and flashing lights at night. There was a good view down Flamingo of Rio and of 2 of the buildings belonging to Cesaer's Palace. And, of course, the mountains. A room a bit closer to the elevator lobby (in our wing, the first room off the lobby was 1037), would have had a less obstructed view. Housekeeping gave us new towels to replace the used ones every day, but they only make your bed when they do the room. No fresh sheets unless you request it. I wasn't the one dealing with the hotel bill, as it was all paid for in advance, but I think we did pay an energy charge. Index

Ballys Room: 2235 posted 10/07/01

Smoking:  Yes
Day: Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Rate:  119
Agency: American Airlines Vacations
Amenities: Shampoo, Conditioner, Facial Bars, Bath Bar
View: Great View of Bellagio fountains, and Paris' Eiffle Tower, Could see down Flamingo to the Rio.
Other: Room was close to the elevator, not a big hike to get to casino or anything else. Alwayw been a big fan of Bally's because you can get from Lobby to hotel without going through the casino if you didn't want too. Index

Ballys Room: 1168 posted 9/13/02

Bally's check in was fantastic. Had originally booked thru Ballys for $49, but then received a $39 rate for booking with American Express card through Orbitz. For $39 it was a STEAL!!! Received room 1168 (11th floor - non smoking floor) in the tower that is closer to the shops and Sports Book (I don't remember if it was North or South tower, but it's not the one on the strip). I originally received a room in the other tower, but she said they have not all been renovated yet, so I got a renovated room in the "Sports Book" tower. This was the LARGEST basic room I have ever been in. Great furnishings, little office area, very nice bathroom with tub... all in all a great room. View of the self-park garage... but I could care less. Also nice since you get morning sun in the room.  Index

Ballys Room: 5717, South Tower posted 9/24/02

Rooms good, not quite as nice as the forum room (we were in the south tower room 5717 I think), no marble effects, but still by all means nice, and quite spacious just like Caesars. The south tower is set back quite a bit from the strip, and like Caesars, Ballys has a automatic walkway to carry you! Ballys staff friendly too. Index

Bally's Room: 2333 posted 1/20/03
Smoking:         Yes
Day:             Sunday Monday
Dates:           December 8 - 9, 2002
Rate:            $99 tournament entry and room

Amenities: Beautiful room with king bed, sliding glass doors overlooking Barbary Coast and mountain view in the distance, small balcony, huge Jacuzzi on platform , bath almost as large as room itself with separate rooms for toilet and bidet, 2 closets, shower, tons of towels and bath amenities, sofa, chair, footstool, work desk, TV with internet access. All in all a great room (smoking floor) Index

Bally's Room: 7107 South Tower posted 3/26/03

It took us a while to figure out the numbering system of the hotel. My room had a decent view of the strip, including the Bellagio fountains. I could also at times hear the music that went with the fountain show. Overall, the room was very large and clean. My friend and I both got rooms with two queens rather than a king as we had requested. no big deal in our case. The bathroom was very large with a separate partitioned area for the toilet. It was not too fancy, but was large and clean. The shower seemed a bit worn in terms of its plumbing and even though there was plenty of hot water, the diverter valve was a little screwy and I lost some pressure to the tub spout as it always ran a little bit even when I was using the shower. The TV in the room looked to be a 25 inch model. I watched TV only for a few minutes of CNN very late at night to catch up on the coming war. However, if you're into watching TV in Vegas, there looked to be about 20 channels, including locals. The only other comment about the room is that it was really quiet late at night even when a lot of stuff was still going on in the hotel and on the street. Index

Bally's Room: 2133 North Tower posted 8/16/03

The suite, room 2133 is on the side of the North Tower looking directly out onto Flamingo. There are views of the Flamingo, Caesar's and Bellagio, at least from an angle.

The room is a sort of Junior suite on steroids. It has one large room with a separate seating area that includes a sofa, coffee table, easy chair and footrest. The TV is large, 27" I guess. The bathroom is raised up two steps and enormous. It has a horse shoe design with a hot tub in the middle. On the left side of the horse shoe is the boy's side of the bathroom and it includes a vanity sink and tons of lotion, shampoo, bath gel, mouthwash, etc. There's also a large closet and the water closet which has a toilet and telephone. Oh yes, it's all marble flooring. In about dead center of the horse shoe is a moderately large stall shower. It has enough room for two with a decent size shelf for putting your bath gel and stuff on. As you go past the shower toward the girl's side of the room, there is another closet containing a bidet. This is how we determined the boy's vs. the girl's side! She also has a large vanity with a seat and brightly lighted mirror. Also, there is another closet.  Other stuff in the room includes the usual iron and board, but no coffee maker. Index

Bally's Room 6637 South Tower posted 9/27/03

We had a perfect view of the Paris pool , Eiffel Tower and Bellagio Fountains. We only could not see the far right end of the fountains. Check in was simple and I checked out via the key drop off. The only complaint I have is how far the pool is from the South Tower.I do understand most casino pools are far far away though. You have to walk through the casino and the shopping area to get to the pool. Everyday there were ample lounge chairs, great waitresses and the pool itself was clean and DEEP..yeah! Nice comfy towels and raft rentals also. Oh another complaint--the ice machine on the 16th. floor did not work until the day before we left..:( so we went to 15 to get ice. Index

Bally's Room 6837 South Tower posted 2/8/04

Our  South Tower room 6837 was located almost at the end of the hall, a pretty good distance from the elevator. The carpeting in the room while not completely worn was older and of a cheap quality. The bathroom while large and clean was showing signs of wear and tear. The shower door was almost falling apart. The 4 inch tile with the 1/4 inch grout on the floor looked a little silly and outdated. There were plenty of mirrors which made the good sized bathroom seem even larger. The usual amenities like a facial and body bar, along with shampoo, conditioner and a shower cap were available. A hair dryer for those with a full head of hair was conveniently installed on the wall near the left side of a fairly large single vanity.

Back in the room was a small table and 2 chairs. We had 2 queen beds because there was no King available when we checked in. The TV was a good sized 27 inch unit that had a WEB-TV like keyboard interface. There was also a data port for a computer. They charged 9.99 per day, or 5.99 for 2 hours for those who just have to post messages on AVLV or surf the web while on their Las Vegas vacation. There was a good sized closet with wooden "hotel" hangers, as well as a hotel safe which you could use for a 3.00 per day charge. There was also a long vanity table with plenty of drawer space.

The best thing about the room was the view. We had a view of Paris and Aladdin next door, as well as most of the Bellagio and the water show. Viewing the show from the 18th floor offers a different perspective which allows you to really appreciate how synchronized the fountains really are. Amazingly, we were able to hear the music from the show which was nice. Unfortunately, it also allowed us to hear some sewer work that amazingly was going on at 2 in the morning. Francine had called the front desk to complain, but what was Bally's going to do about it? It was most obviously an emergency situation, and if it involved sewage.......The front desk DID offer to change our room to the one across the hall, but we were already settled in to our 6837 already.Index

Bally's Room 1672 North Tower posted 3/20/04

The room was very large and well-appointed. It had two queen beds and was nonsmoking. The view was nothing much, mainly planes going in and out of the airport and one side of the MGM. The room was, however, extremely quiet. Something that was always welcome after 16- 8 hours of activity in and around the casinos. The bathroom was large with a tub-shower combo and a separate partitioned area for the toilet.  Towels were a little sparse. If I had been in the room with someone else, I definitely would have had to call for more. For example, the shelf over the tub had only 1 bath towel. $5 left as a tip on the first day resulted in no improvement in the way things were stocked.
In the room itself, there was a small desk as well as a large table with a phone and broadband connection at $9.95 per day. I used it for keeping up with work and it worked fine. I had download speeds of around 400k. Other stuff in the room included to comfortable club chairs and matching footrests. Very nice for hanging out if one wanted to. Index

Bally's Room 1804 North Tower posted 7/30/04

I requested a room near the elevator in the North Tower and was given
1804.  It was in fact, near the elevator.  It was, however, a handicap room.
This was a mixed blessing.  It was a very large room with ample room for a
wheelchair (I don't use one) between and around the beds, etc.  I didn't
like the bathroom very much.  Because of the configuration to permit a
wheelchair to get close to the toilet, there was somewhat reduced counter
space compared with other Bally's rooms.  Also, the shower was just a
roll-in shower.  I don't use a tub, but the shower head here could come off
its wall bracket and be used by hand.  There was a bench in the shower if
one wanted or needed to sit while using the handheld sprayer.  I kept the
sprayer on the wall and raised it to its maximum height, about even with the
top of my head, I'm 6' tall.  The shower floor is just about flush with the
main bathroom floor.  There was an auxiliary drain in the middle of the
bathroom, but I still seemed unable to prevent myself from making a wet mess
each time I used the thing.
I could have requested another room, I suppose, but this one was well
located and for me, the room is primarily a place to sleep.  As long as the
shower is clean and gets me clean, I can deal with it for a few days.
Still, I do not recommend this room unless you actually require one
configured in this way. Index
 

Bally's Room 1804 posted 3/30/05

My room 7125 was NOT on the 71st floor, as I had hoped. Bally's doesn't
even have 71 floors. Or even 50. This is some weird numbering scheme they
use to make the hotel appear bigger, I guess. An old man on the elevator
confirmed my suspicion by commenting to his wife that their room was on the
68th floor.


Here's a photo taken from the window of my room. It looks pretty good
considering that the window was filthy on the outside.
