Tonight I am at Bally's in Las Vegas, and I decided to change it up a little bit and get
a room in the Resort Tower tonight. Prior to tonight all of my stays at Bally's had
been in the Jubilee Tower as the elevators come down into the video poker section,
where you will find me a lot. But I know a lot of people prefer the resort rooms, and I think
you can see why. Immediately in the bathroom you do see the impressive lighting in here,
with the makeup mirror and the vanity. Bathroom is very good sized. You do have a walk-in shower.
Upon entry into the room on the right side you do have a sliding door which leads into the closet,
which runs very deep as you can see. The closet is also where you will find the safe,
which is very much needed, especially when you are in the middle of The Strip.
So this is, as I said, a Resort Two Queen.
And the room being described as "renovated" it's very noticeable upon entry to look at the
furnishings as they are not dinged and worn like the ones in the Jubilee Tower. As you can see,
no dings. Pretty impressive.
So as you can see the television here is a lot larger than I can recall in any room I've
ever had in the Jubilee Tower. And as you can see there is no coffee. But the furnishings,
as I said, very noticeable, the difference. And the artwork is a little bit different, too.
So no coffee, but down here you do have a refrigerator. Always comes in handy.
And over here you do have seating for one. Over here you do have a desk, with a lamp.
And somebody's been drinking some Leinenkugels Summer Shandy in here.
Not gonna say who, but I think they know who they are. And outside you do have a view of
The Cromwell. It's a more intimate casino setting. It's a lot smaller,
not for everybody, but I gotta say I like it. There is Caesars Palace, which is more of a jaunt.
Flamingo is very close so it's not much of a walk at all. Over here you do have The High Roller.
You also -- this is a stop on the monorail route. So if you want to head down to MGM
Grand for awhile you can go that way, or if you want to head out to Westgate or Sahara,
you can go the other way. They have you covered. So let's take a look at the room from this angle.
And it's story time here, as I gotta tell you, what drew me to Bally's as a kid is the
movie -- you might be familiar with it from 1992, called 'Honeymoon in Vegas'. It starred Nicolas
Cage, and a lot of the events were filmed here at Bally's. It shows that product placement is very
real and it's very effective. Because if it could get a kid like me who had never even gambled,
never even dreamed of it, to want to come here, then it works. In the times I came here,
I started to have fun on the gaming floor. It's just my kind of property. I understand
that a lot of people don't like it. It's not their thing. But it's always been mine.
The property will soon be, as you might be familiar, rebranding as 'The Horseshoe'. I have
stayed at a Horseshoe property before in Bossier City, Louisiana. So I know they're gonna be in
good hands. I know they have great plans for the future. But this is good bye for me to Bally's.
And so Tommy Korman, Chief Orman, I leave you with this, "mahalaia wakalaia". Thank you for watching.
