History
One of the signature
features of the hotel is the neon lighting wrapped around the
covered moving sidewalk that brings guests from Las Vegas
Boulevard to the entrance of the casino while old hits from
the Rat Pack are pumped out. The resort has a large shopping
area a floor below its gaming level, including several
restaurants and there is a Las Vegas Monorail station at the
rear of the property. Bally's is home for the long-running
production show Jubilee! which opened in 1981.
The hotel was sold in 1985 to Bally Entertainment
Corporation and the property's name was changed to Bally's
(the MGM Grand name was transferred to the former Marina
Hotel, now known as MGM Grand Las Vegas). Bally Entertainment
Corporation was purchased in 1995 by Hilton Hotels Corporation
whose casino resorts division was subsequently spun off and
became Caesars Entertainment in 2003. Harrah's Entertainment,
Inc. acquired the property with its purchase of Caesars
Entertainment, Inc in June
2005.
