Location of both is great. Harrahs is closer to Mirage, Ballys is closer to Bellagio.

I have never stayed at Ballys, but my friend swears it is nice. North tower is supposed to be better. South Tower faces the Bellagio fountains, but is supposed to be worn.

Harrahs is ok, but over priced. Rooms are clean enough...nothing fancy, but only someone overly picky could be upset with the cleanliness. Carnivale tower is supposed to be nicest...I have stayed there 3 times and only in the Carnivale tower. However, I did find the rooms to be a bit noisy. Also, don't touch the items in the mini bar unless you intend to consume them. They are triggered to payment by a weight system.

I am staying at Ballys on March 24-27. I would take advantage of their discount on the internet which will take 25% off any lower price you find online. It requires some jumping through hoops, but saved me over $80.
