Bally’s Las Vegas Hotel & Casino Photos, Tips and Details:
Bally’s Hotel & Casino has 2,814 rooms and suites. It is located center-strip. It opened in 1973 as the MGM Grand and in 1983 it changed owners and it was re-branded Bally’s Las Vegas. [On December 15, 2022 Bally’s Las Vegas was rebranded Horseshoe Las Vegas.]
There are two towers, the Jubilee and the Resort Tower. Tip: Bally’s has the deepest swimming pool on the Las Vegas Strip and guests can also use the pool at Paris Las Vegas (sister property). Bally’s has a large tennis complex.
Tip: If you book the Jubilee Tower, ask for a room on a high floor, close to the elevator, odd numbered. That room will face Paris Las Vegas and will have a partial view of the Fountains of Bellagio. These rooms and suites were remodeled in 2013. There could be minor noise issues when Chateau Nightclub at Paris Las Vegas is open.
Tip: If you book a room in the Resort Tower, ask for a quiet room, high floor, not facing Flamingo Road. These rooms and suites were remodeled in 2018. If you want one of the best views of the Las Vegas Strip, book a room in the Resort Tower facing Flamingo Road. There could be minor noise issues with these rooms when Drai’s Nightclub is open at the Cromwell and traffic noise from Flamingo Road, but an excellent view.
The casino is “old school” Las Vegas and has both old and new slot machines. The casino pit features all the popular table games, including Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Baccarat, Pai Gow Poker, Pai Gow Tiles, Let It Ride, and more. They have a 19-table Poker Room, live Keno and a Caesars Sportsbook betting counter and kiosks. Bally’s is owned by Caesars Entertainment and they use the Caesars Rewards players card.
In 2022, the World Series of Poker moved from the Rio to Bally’s and Paris Las Vegas.
