text: When you want to come to Vegas for a couple of days and stay at a relatively cheap hotel but still be on the strip Ballys is a worthwhile option We had some friends that decided to do a Vegas wedding at Caesars It took place during the memorial day weekend and the prices were jacked really high We did not feel like paying them and thought that staying nearby for a third of the price would be sufficient Ballys offers easy access to Caesars by one the overthestreet bridges It also has free shuttle service to the Rio and is a stop on the Vegas monorail if you do not feel like wearing down your feet It is also connected to Paris where you can up in the pseudo Eiffel towernnThe casino itself is quite nice with plenty of table games and a somewhat lively atmosphere They also host the show Jubilee Where the women wear the feathers and put on a classic Vegas style show They have a newly renovated spa and gym and cheap and quick restaurants for those on the gonnNow let us talk about the accommodations We got a room with two queen sized beds It was huge but very dated I would venture to say that it would be a suite at most other hotels It was very clean and had your basic amenities like an iron with board and toiletries The tv was still a tube there were two seatcouches a table and a dresser The bathroom was a little bigger than normal and had a full sized mirror which was a plus I was a little disappointed at the lack of a coffee maker but I could do without itnnThe room was less than luxurious but that is what is to be expected when you decide to go cheap And with all the money you saved you will have more to lose at the casinos
