Ballys Casino Las Vegas
Review of Ballys Hotel Casino
At almost 35 years of age, Ballys Casino Las Vegas is one of the older properties on the Las Vegas strip. Ballys Las Vegas Casino has witnessed both mega-jackpots and major tragedies in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ballys Casino Las Vegas is a unique casino that has been described as a casino that preserves the allure and elegance of old Las Vegas, while at the same time tapping into the rich amenities of modern Las Vegas.
The 43 acre property where Ballys Casino Las Vegas now stands was originally home to the Bonanza Hotel and Casino that was built in 1963. The location later became home to the MGM Grand Hotel Casino, which was the largest hotel in the world at the time of it’s construction in 1973. The MGM Grand eventually constructed a new location, and sold the old hotel to the Bally Entertainment Corporation, who reopened the property as Ballys Las Vegas.
Ballys Casino Las Vegas was off to a good start during the first few years after being purchased from the MGM Grand, but that came to a halt in 1987 when Ballys Casino Las Vegas suffered a tragic fire. The Ballys Casino fire resulted in the death of 87 workers and guests who were trapped in the upper floors of the building.
The Ballys Casino fire remains, to this day, the largest disaster in the history of Nevada in terms of the loss of life. The city’s safety codes for casino resorts were reformed as a result of the Ballys Casino fire. These codes are the strictest fire safety codes in the United States as a result of the 1987 casino fire at Ballys Casino Las Vegas.
The Ballys Casino Las Vegas of today has moved well beyond the troubles of the past. Ballys Casino Las Vegas boasts one of the most impressive casino gaming floors in Las Vegas. The casino at Ballys is 70,000 square feet of gaming excitement, including more than 75 betting tables. Ballys Casino Las Vegas also features the world’s first $1,000 slot machines.
Ballys Casino Las Vegas also features a miniature shopping mall inside the casino. One of the regular favorites of the 20 stores inside the mall is the Houdini Magic Shop. In addition to stocking a number of professional quality tricks, Houdini’s employs magicians that can perform any trick in the store on demand, and can even take you into a secret room where the tricks of the trade will be revealed.
Ballys Casino Las Vegas also has one of the best pool scenes in Las Vegas. The Ballys Casino pool features lush tropical gardens, private cabanas and a terrace café. There is also a number of illuminated tennis courts and a tennis pro shop in the pool complex.
Ballys Casino Las Vegas is a living piece of Las Vegas history, and one that should not be missed. For more information on visiting Ballys Casino Las Vegas, call them toll free at 888-742-9248 or locally at 702-967-4405.
