Room Quality: 3 Playing poker at Bally\'s is a bit like playing chess on Flavio Briatore\'s yacht. Loads of distractions, loud, really not the sort of place you\'d choose to play, but... It\'s a trade off. If you really dislike noise and smoke, avoid Bally\'s at all costs, but be aware that the location of the poker area is cunningly designed to snare drunks and gamblers as they roll off the neighboring blackjack tables. |
|
Competition: 4 Every now and then you\'ll find a table of early afternoon nits, but for the most part the room seems to suck in tourists some of whom couldn\'t tell you the odds of making a flush with two to come if you gave them a bit of paper with the answer on it in big red numbers. And even if they could read it they\'d call getting the wrong price anyway. There are a few competent/good regulars, but they are easy enough to avoid. |
|
Dealers: 5 They know the rules, they keep the game moving, they are friendly and polite. First class. |
|
Cocktails: 4 Bally\'s is known for having some of the oldest cocktail waitresses on the Strip and... I like em. I\'m old too. And I say please and thank you a lot and my cranberry juice arrives fast enough for me. |
|
Management: 5 One of the really notable things about Bally\'s management is the speed that they get through waiting lists. They\'re more than happy to open short-handed tables and nearly always judge it right so that games rarely break unnecessarily. Also they are more than happy to arrange a table change if you do happen to find yourself at the table with the grumpy old nits. I\'m the one in the 10-seat. |
|
Comps & Bonuses: 3 Standard Caesars $5+1 which would be an issue if I didn\'t specialize in making tiny straight flushes. Food comp dollars can be used at various places including the Steakhouse and the Thai restaurant SEA, both of which are decent. |
