Ballys is definitely a good choice. Shame only 3 days but you can do a lot in 3 days! Love the piano bar at harrahs. Its worth checking out casino royal too if you haven't before. Its got a bit of a down town vibe about it and lower limits on craps and the waitresses in there are quite keen! We found some of the machines a bit cheaper in there too.x

I think we were there at the same time as you! (April 27th for a week). Also currently we are planning to stay at Bally’s next time - unless I get a better deal. I really like the location but have never stayed - we walked through it loads on the way to and from our hotel which was out the back. So it’s good to hear you liked it

Ahh we were the week before - 20th to 27th. Ballys was really great, honestly couldn't fault it in the jubilee tower. I think resort tower would have been an annoying walk back to the room but jubilee was really easy to get in and out to the strip. I miss it so much already but can't book again yet :-( x

I think we are booked into a resort tower room, but I didn’t see an option for Jubilee. Is the resort tower the one down Flamingo a bit, opposite the car entrance to Cromwell?

I wonder if you got on the plane we got off!

Hope you get to go back soon xx

Haha quite possibly!

The jubilee tower is the tower nearest paris - kind of goes sideways and further forward towards the strip. We had a view of the eiffel tower and fountains from the odd side. I think flamingo is view from even x

We have just returned from a week stay at Ballys & agree the location is great but for me would not stay there again. Had the same view as OP which was great however trying to get to sleep when the Chateau nightclub was open was a nightmare! Found our room to be a bit shabby too...……..but then we have stayed at the Wynn twice, so totally spoiled there

Ahh thats a shame. We only found noise on one night but she did warn us that it can be noisier side but to just ask to move if a problem. I can't imagine many hotels comparing to the wynn - stunning hotel!

Out of interest where else have you stayed? I’m not expecting Wynn amenities and rooms at Ballys but I won’t want a noisy room. We’ve previously stayed at the Signature, Venetian, Vdara, Mandalay Bay and last trip at Tuscany Suites. Tuscany because it was £32/night when Venetian and the like were £350 (there were some conventions on that pushed up the prices I think). While I didn’t love Tuscany, it was perfectly fine for the price we paid.
