- Bally's Las Vegas Hotel & Casino is one of the oldest hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, but it doesn't feel that way thanks to a full recent renovation of tower guestrooms.
- It's also one of the most affordable, with prices as low as $31 for a midweek stay in low season, or more typically $100 to $150 on a weekend. I stayed in a King Resort room in January during one of the busiest trade shows of the year and was impressed by the generous size, comfort, and cleanliness.
- The hotel's location is one of the best on the Strip, with access to an on-site monorail station, and close to the convention center. After long days, I was always excited to return to my modern yet no-nonsense room.

In Las Vegas, a city defined by excesses, glitz, and glamour, there's never a shortage of things to do and see. You can gamble, catch a show, indulge in world-famous restaurants and buffets, dance at nightclubs, and more.
Bally's Las Vegas, a Caesars Entertainment-owned hotel located centrally on the Las Vegas Strip, is exactly where you want to stay when you need easy access to everything on your itinerary and a clean, sleek, modern room to return to at the end of a busy day.
First opened in 1973 as the MGM Grand, Bally's is one of the older hotels on the Strip. But don't let its age deter you. A 2018 renovation to the guestroom tower transformed it into a more desirable - and importantly, still affordable - place to stay. What it lacks in elaborate attractions and entertainment, it makes up for in pure value, convenience, and reliability.
I stayed here while in town for the CES trade show (one of the tech industry's largest, no less), and found the hotel to be incredibly comfortable and convenient, with an on-site Monorail station. But even if you're not a conference attendee, you'll appreciate the same features about Bally's that I did: the accessibility, spacious and comfortable rooms, and a wide variety of useful but not overwhelming amenities.
Because I stayed at Bally's during a high-traffic week, rates were more expensive than usual. At the beginning of January for a popular conference, I paid $336 per night.
Average rates are typically $100 to $150 per night at other times of year but you may even find nightly rates as low as $31, which just might be cheaper than your Vegas buffet dinner.
