I know everyone says that Bally's is fishy but it is also a great way to ease into playing poker in Vegas. We stayed at the Bellagio and it was very easy to walk over to play between meeting friends for other "nonpoker" events. Dealers are friendly and very helpful (especially Connie!) and the players were friendly. Caught cards the first two days and was up a lot on the 2/4 table and then went back thinking I was a big time player! Lost money to a guy so drunk he was calling out his hands during the play. I guess that is Bally's, the good and the bad, but went back, tightened up and ended up ahead.

Nice "room" and convenient for play. I liked it alot.
