For our first time in Las Vegas I researched extensively to find a hotel with the two things my husband and I were looking for 1- a sportsbook with a bar, and 2-karaoke nearby. We both found what we were looking for at Bally's. Bally's is right in the middle of the strip nestled among such giants as Ceasar's, the Bellagio, Paris and the Flamingo. But its not so big that you get overwhelmed. The casino is relatively small, so you can get from one end to the other without losing your mind or your wallet. The room we had was very large and comfortable. The sportsbook is down a long hallway but it was so nice to sit and drink and watch sports that we hated to even move. There was an excellent litte Japanese restaruant down there too. The karaoke place is called 'Ellis Island' and you get there by going out the back door and going down the side street. It could be kind of a scary walk if you are afraid of wondering off the strip, but I loved it. The only negative was that the front desk had some trouble figuring out the Expedia reservation we had made, and they actually gave a key to our room to someone else. Luckily we had bolted the door and it all got straightened out. I recommend Bally's if you are looking for comfort without the sensory overload that Vegas is famous for.
Unique Qualities: The sportsbook was very comfortable. They also had something rare in Vegas, at the bar at the Mexican restaurant, you could actually just sit at the bar, which was simply...a bar...and not a bank of video poker machines.
