Bally's Atlantic City and Claridge Tower - (609) 340-2000

I would not stay at this hotel again if i were paid. The room smelled and it was smaller than a holiday inn. The decor is from the mid 90s and it is NOT a $400.00 room. When i complained they just told me it was the going rate and didn't even offer to send housekeeping or anything. We asked for more towels and never got them too. They have your money and just don't care at that point. Find somewhere else.

I should have listened to the bad reviews that I read and stayed far away from this hotel. I arrived at around 9pm, as I had said I would on my online reservation. I selected the "Premium" room with "generous bay windows with expansive views" when I made my reservation. When I arrived, the room I had selected was unavailable. They sent me, instead, to the "newly renovated" Garden Tower. When I walked into my room, it hadn't been cleaned yet, at 9:30pm! When I looked out the "bay windows", the only view I had was of a rooftop. I called for the room to be cleaned three times before anyone arrived, over an hour later. I didn't get to eat until 11pm. I was too tired to do anything after all of this hassle, so I just went to bed. The next day, we went to play some slots, we got one drink in 2 hours. After our V-day dinner, we went to the recommended Blue Martini for drinks. It was great there to start out with, the waitress brought us our drinks and the DJ was great. Then, two girls in fishnet tights and underwear got up on the stage behind the bar and started dancing, on Valentine's day! I was appalled by the lack of class this place had. When I spoke with the Manager about this, he tried to sweet talk me and makes my boyfriend seem like the problem. The problem was that I didn't feel comfortable having two girls shake their stuff in my face on my, what was meant to be, romantic weekend away with my boyfriend. When we got back to the room, we ordered room service. It took over an hour and fifteen minutes to get some food and a bottle of wine delivered to our room. I was already asleep by the time they finally arrived. I checked out in the morning and when I arrived home, I checked my bank account and realized that on top of everything that I had to deal with all weekend, I had been charged double for my ridiculously priced two night stay at Bally's. I have been wasting more time calling and I am waiting to get a call back since 9:30am this morning and it is 1:30pm.

The Pool at Harrah's is a first class rip off. The admission is high priced. The staff is rude. The casino is dirty, does not pay out well, Bally's is horrible too. Corrupt city government, casino/mafia ran, poice brutality, police misconduct, a sad sad sad city. The nightclubs are terrible, the music is worse, they short people at the cabana's, filled with violent under covers. I encourage people to do thier own research on just how bad it is. Do a public records request, see how city contracts are given, how allegations of abuse are not investigated. Be all you can be, stop corruption.
