Can A Room For 2 Cents At Bally's Be Real? Pretty Much, Yes

Here's the proof. How good does that look?

If there’s one thing we love here at VegasChatter (apart from Elvis impersonators, obvs), it’s a good gimmick. P.U.B. got into our good books again by introducing Nickel Beer Nights, and we’ve even come round to the Sahara after we managed to book a $1 room the other week. So we were nicely intrigued by Bally’s latest promo: 2 Cent Tuesdays.

The deal is this: book between three and five nights, Sunday through Thursday, at Bally’s between 27 June and 29 July, and, if your stay includes a Tuesday, your rate that day will be a measly 2 cents. And don’t forget, since it's a Harrah’s property, there's no pesky resort fee to add to the bill, so all you’re paying on that night is tax. And tax on 2c is going to be pretty negligible.

Behind The Boobies: Jubilee! Celebrates Its 17,000th Performance

If you’ve seen one set of boobies in Las Vegas, you probably think you’ve seen ‘em all. That’s so not the case with the tens of thousands of silicone-free beauties that have graced the stage for Donn Arden’s Jubilee! at Bally’s for nearly three decades. (Or top knots, cha chas, blinkers, bazoombas, sweater puppies, or pillows, as Courtney at The World is Our Mollusk so helpfully pointed out.)

Good Luck Getting Fresh Air In Your Hotel Room at Bally's

That's right. Some rooms at Bally's have scary-looking window locks on the sliding doors. This was taken from a room on the 25th floor--a smoking room. Yeah, the cigarette stench is not leaving this room. Ever. Then again, rooms are a dirt cheap $45 a night.

A shot of the view is after the jump.

Local Gal Wins Monopoly's 'Advance to Go' Contest in Front of Bally's

Today we rolled by Bally's to check out the oversized Monopoly board that they had put up in preparation for the World Monopoly Championships on Wednesday. But the 25'x25' board wasn't just for folks to walk around on and take goofy pictures.

The game board was actually the scene of the Monopoly’s “Advance to Go” a promotion from Harrah's Entertainment where 50 finalists for a cash prize of $50,000. Set aside the jokes that you might have that they were paid in Monopoly money, this really was the true deal.

In the end, it came down to five players who were had to compete right on the Strip just shy of the noon hour to a vocal, good-natured group of tourists who were more than taken with the charming aesthetics of it all - oversized replication of the Board, human tokens, leggy showgirls and oversized game cards.

But there could only be one winner and the game was won by the justifiably ecstatic Kim Heinan of Las Vegas. Considering that the champions of the real Monopoly tournament might not take home that much money, we think that's an awesome payout. But we wonder if Bally's is gonna convince her to spend the money at a Harrah's property like they do when you win a slot machine jackpot?

Remember the World Monopoly Championships kick off on Wednesday at 8:30am. at Caesars Palace.

Bally’s to Re-open Race and Sports Book on Aug. 26

True to its promise, Bally’s will re-open its Race and Sports Book on August 26, just in time for the all-important NFL betting season. If you recall, Bally’s shuttered its sports book right before the NCAA Final Four games this past spring and any sports bettors were relegated to moseying next door to Paris if they wanted to make a wager.

The reopened sports book will feature a new VIP Lounge outfitted with HD screens and “comfy couches and sports memorabilia,” and guests can enjoy special prices on Absolut vodka cocktails and Miller beer buckets. Also, the press release teases that sports celebs will be stopping by throughout the season, although no specifics on this promo have yet been disclosed.

Bally's Sports Book Dark 'Til Football Season

March Madness typically means extra hubbub around Las Vegas’ shrines to sports betting, but today Bally’s drew a different sort of attention to its own race and sports book. As reported today on the Review-Journal’s Web site, the resort announced its sports book will be shuttered until September when gridiron fever again descends upon the betting population.

The Lowdown on Eating 'Til Your Pants Burst

Big appetite, check. Eyes bigger than your stomach, check. Super-stretch pants, check. You’re now ready to chow down at one of Las Vegas’ famed buffets. And whether you’re on a squeaky budget or are looking to high roll with some high-fallutin’ grub, you’re sure to find something to satisfy any craving here.

Off Strip is your best option for a buffet that won’t cause you to break the bank or leave with a bellyache. Texas Station’s Feast Around The World, located in North Las Vegas, offers one of the lowest-priced smorgasbords in town, with daily breakfast from $5.99, lunch from $6.99, and dinner from $9.99 Monday–Wednesday; weekends and “Specialty Nights” (think seafood, seafood, and more seafood, with a few slabs ‘o beef thrown in for good measure) are priced higher.

Make sure to get a boarding pass here Station Casinos Boarding Pass or you’ll have to add two bucks to the price of your meal.
