Does not look like anything special during the day but really cool lit up at night.
I like the cement ledges to sit on, but it does draw a fair amount of homeless and pimps. Don't want to see that area go away but they could put a little more security in that area.

The lengthy and dated entrance to Bally's from The Strip sets a tone for the property that is not positive.  It's a huge space when you think about it - virtually the distance of a downtown block wasted on old fountains and sub-par landscaping.  It was cool long ago, but it's time for a re-do.

The fountains need a scrub pretty bad, there's a yellowish hue on them.  Plus, they really need to fix that moving walkway from the strip.  It hasn't moved in at least 8 months.  They have to be missing out on so much foot traffic($) from that.

What many people don't realize is that from above (IE, from Bellagio rooms), it looks like a pinball game. I have no clue if any connection between the name of the resort and the pinball manufacturer.

I am surprised that they don't put an outdoor bar on the corner. The ambiance would be great (a la Rhumbar). For now, I think they are too focused on Linq.

Am I the only one that thinks Linq might under-perform? People simply don't like to wander off The Strip (unless it is into a casino) and the Ferris wheel might only be marginally visible to those actually walking The Strip.

Dont know why but I think it looks cool, specially at night

"What's Wrong With This Picture?"

There are no porn-slappers in it.

Like someone else mentioned, it's a surprising waste of land in such a prime mid-Strip location.

IMHO Ballys is looking tired and in need of re-modelling with a few ton of high-ex.

However, if CET price the rooms right and keep them clean I guess it will  remains profitable - it's a bit like the Flamingo, an average hotel in a good location (but without as good a pool).
