Bally’s is in the center of the Strip and is often filled to capacity during busy seasons. The casino caters to an older and more affluent crowd as opposed to a younger crowd or local gamblers due in part to being an older staple of the Strip and its lack of nightlife. It features a number of restaurants, shopping, and many amenities.
Bally’s has a large central gambling area on the casino floor with around 1,500 slot machines, and a high limits slot area that features machines with a $1,000 minimum per pull and other slightly lower limit slots.

It is recommended to book in advance during any Holiday, during the summer, or whenever a large convention is in town. Bally’s hosts many conventions and may be full even during the off season, mid-week, or other times parts of the Strip may be less active. Check with your travel agent or the hotel before planning your trip.
