This was my go to hotel when it was the Montbleu. It lost it's pizazz transitioning to Bally's. Here's what I miss:
1. They switched to low flow shower heads. Now you can't take a warm shower UNLESS you turn on the sink in the room to hot and run it the whole time you are in the shower. This has happened in two separate rooms on different floors on different trips.
2. The crazy bright digital display behind checkin is over the top and extremely distracting. Can you please tone it down?
3. The decor for Montblue's casino was really inviting and the chandeliers were beautiful and unique. We're now stuck with standard modern fair and the whole floor just seems boring.
4. The casino seems to be down to one restaurant and a fake Starbucks. I don't think I've ever seen the Chinese restaurant open. The buffet hasn't been open since COVID. Give hotel guests a reason to stay on site!
5. The resort fee is $30 now. Not sure what you get accept for free wifi and pool access.
6. They don't have room service.
7. They charge $20 a night for self parking or $25 for valet. I don't understand why these casinos are nickel and diming people with parking fees. Patrons from South Lake Tahoe would like slots without have to pay for parking. This trend happening throughout Nevada is likely to burn out patrons in the long run. I know I think twice now before going to the Stateline casinos because of the ridiculous fees.
8. Pool is great. Bring back the grotto and offer drinks
