The Virginia City Buffet offers affordable family dining.
Bally's Atlantic City is an older hotel and casino with guest rooms that could use a makeover. The best feature at Bally's is the great family dining. Don't expect lavish surroundings, but The Virginia City Buffet, Pickles and Johnny Rockets will delight younger travelers and offer large portions for a reasonable price. Bally's also features an on site spa that offers a variety of services, including Swedish massages and deep sea mud body masks.
Wows and Woes
Bally's location is ideal.
Bally's Atlantic City offers an ideal location. Guests can easily walk to other attractions like the Wild Wild West Casino and The Pier Shops at Caesars. The major woe at Bally's is the guest rooms. The accommodations are dingy and smell smoky even when you book a non-smoking room.
Insider Tips

Unless you rely on the Internet for business, plan to forgo this convenience during your stay at Bally Atlantic City. The fee for Internet access is outrageous. It costs $12.99 for 24 hours of Internet access.
Most Memorable Moment
The 25 cent slot machines at Bally's are worth a try.
Before going to Bally's, you may hear rumors that the slot machines are tight. However, the 25 cent machines actually pay out pretty regularly--you might just get lucky with your quarter. There is nothing more exciting than hearing the slot machine dispense heaps of winnings.
Bottom Line
The guest rooms are dingy, but the location is fantastic.
Bally's is an older facility that may not appeal to guests who are accustomed to more modern, upscale getaways. However, Bally's location on the Boardwalk is fantastic.
