Have you ever stayed at Ballys Las Vegas? North or South? -

Basically I m getting a room comped for 2 nights at one of their South Tower standard rooms. They offered me an upgrade for $10 per night to a North Tower room.So I did some research...Do the South Tower rooms have better view, but older and not as nice furnishings as the North Towers?Have the South Tower rooms been renovated recently? (supposedly according to some reviews)Which side tower did YOU stay at? What level was it?(standard/deluxe/suite?) Was it roomy? How was the bathroom? (bathtub?)I realize a lot of you will be saying that I won t be staying in the room that much because it s Vegas, so it shouldn t matter. BUT i m taking my girlfriend who is not so much a club goer/drinker/gambler as I am. We would like to spend a decent amount of time relaxing in the hotel.So... view, size, cleanliness would all be important to me.thanks for your input guys~

The South tower has the better view, but the rooms have not been renovated in 25 years. They are much more likely to have minor problems, and are dark and drab. It is a tradeoff.For your extra $10 to switch to the North tower you are getting the same size room, but with new furnishings with more comfortable sitting chairs and a desk.I think they were renovated about 5 years ago. But you give up your view.

Yes its pretty simple:South has older furnishing but has a viewNorth is newer but you don t get a view

I stayed at Bally s in March 2005, in room 7125, which is the south tower.Here s a photo of the room http://www.urbanphotos.net/images/LVCD3/��Here s a photo of the view from the room http://www.urbanphotos.net/images/LVCD3/��I d pay the extra $10 for the north tower though. Here s a review on tripadvisor from December 2005 with photos of north and south tower rooms http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserRevie��People who say room quality isn t important because you don t spend much time in it should spend a few nights at Wynn or Venetian, then spend a few nights at the Gold Spike or Diamond Inn Motel and report how there was no difference between the two properties.If you can afford it, take your girlfriend to Wynn, Encore, Venetian, Palazzo, Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, or one of the new CityCenter hotels (Vdara, Aria, Mandarin Oriental.) Bally s is kind of a low roller experience. Although I have no problem with staying there myself, I would never take a girlfriend there. I would only take a girlfriend or spouse to the properties I listed. Show her a spectacular time she ll never forget... don t endure mediocrity to save a few bucks.Take a look at Encore http://hubpages.com/hub/Encore-Las-Vegas
