Stayed here Feb. 7-11th. Budget minded travellers looking for a good location. There were 8 of us in the group - half spent the majority of the time gambling, half sight seeing. Worked out great for all of us!
Rooms
Check-in was a breeze. (arrived around 5pm on a Tueday). We had room 6112, with the $25 upgrade for the roman soaking tub. Um yeah, husband thought this would mean hot tub and really it's just a big bath tub but it did suit his needs as he needed to soak his aching legs after walking all day. And better yet, the room had a single serve coffee maker so we could each enjoy a cup of coffee while getting ready each morning. The room was dated and there were some stains on the carpet but overall it seemed clean. Tons of space, dual vanities, two big closets, walk in shower, toilet stall and a fancy little drinking fountain (oh wait, that was a bidet). Others in the group had the standard room and enjoyed views of the fountains. Some complained of the noise - but in our room we didn't hear a peep. We had a view of Bill's Gambling Hall :)

Casino
The casino was decent size but small enough that we could find the other members of our group. I even hit an $800 jackpot while there and another member of our group won $900! Sign up for the players card and they give you $5 free play and you'll receive discounts at the shops, including the ones at Paris (probably other sister properties but we didn't do much shopping).

Eats & Drinks
Had a couple of meals at the Tequila Bar. Husband enjoyed their burger and I loved the $2 tacos and $2 margaritas. We even attempted the nacho platter one night to soak up some booze - should have waited until all 8 of us were there as we couldn't even put a dent in it. Very yummy but HUGE!
There were also restaurants downstairs by the shops. They closed at 11 but we did managet to hit up Nathan's one night (look for buy one get one 50% off coupons), and the hot dogs and cheesesteak were good. Several people in our group ate at Nosh and enjoyed their food from there (right by the elevators to the rooms).

Location, location, location
This is the biggest draw in my opinion. The location was perfect, center strip. Close enough for Bill's drink and breakfast specials, O'Shea's frozen Bailey's, and not too far from Ellis Island's cheap meals (though we never made it there). Right across from the Bellagio fountains and a hop, skip and jump to Caesar's Palace if you're looking for some fancy shopping. Bally's is connected to Paris which has even more fun to offer. At check in we received coupons, including a 2-4-1 ride on the Eiffel tower where we viewed the Bellagio fountain show from the top of the tower at night - very cool. And the casino at Paris was fun too, great music playing there. Also enjoyed the trip to the Sugar Factory and bought souvenirs using our discount from the players card.

Overall, this hotel worked out great for our group as it had something for everyone and wasn't so huge that we couldn't find each other when necessary. It's not fancy, so if that's what you're looking for keep looking. But the price was right and I would be happy to stay here again.

Expected an older hotel, but pleasantly surprised... the room was large, clean and comfortable. Large bathroom, with separate sink and makeup table outside bathroom. Older tv but we didn't come to Vegas to watch TV. Check in was a breeze. Casino not too smokey, good mix of older and new machines. Walkway connects to Paris, so we ate breakfast there. Right across the street from Bellagio, so spent one day there and ate at Bellagio buffet. But we spent the day at Bellagio, on a Bally's room price....not a bad deal.

My brother and I stayed here for three nights a couple of weeks ago. The rooms aren't anything to write home about, but they are clean and I thought the bed was comfortable. This was fine, since the only thing we did here was sleep. I'm a member of their rewards club and even though I don't gamble a lot we were able to stay a Friday, Saturday, Sunday night for just under $70 night. I thought this was pretty good for being in the middle to the strip. I felt we were close to everything we wanted from here being right across from Bellagio and Ceasar's and connected to Paris. We spent most of our time at Harrah's just down the way. With the piano bar and carnival court it was a pretty fun spot to hang out!

We stayed here end of January, 2012. We arrived much too late to get a room in North Tower, so we spent first night in south tower. The next 3 days we moved to the North tower, and room was excellent, very large. Very clean with great view of the Bellagio fountains. What a view. The best thing about the rooms was we could not smell any smoke at all !!! The beds were fine, nice linens, towels, etc. We could not hear any street noise at all.

Bally's has the best bands that we love and many people were dancing and having a great time. We of course, were playing slots, close to the band so we could see and hear and enjoy. And we had the best cocktail waitress in Las Vegas,((Liz)) She was absolutely awesome, very pleasant and present. We really appreciated her, and tipped her well, as she is very deserving.

We have stayed at many hotels and visited many more, playing at all, and I must say some hotels have cocktail waitresses that really don't like their jobs. And some hotels where you hardly ever see a waitress.

We will definetly be back. All the staff was very pleasant and helpful. And the shops downstairs are varied and reasonable. We had a car and valet parking is the best.
We have absolutely nothing but praise for this gem of a hotel. Make sure to sign up for a rewards card and use it in every machine as you accumulate points for future promotions !
