BALLY'S ATLANTIC CITY

If you've ever played the board game Monopoly (and who hasn't?), you know that Bally's Casino Hotel & Spa Atlantic City is located at the most prestigious address in town -- Park Place and Boardwalk. What you may not already know is that Bally's is Atlantic City's largest casino resort packing the excitement of three distinct casinos into one!

When you're feeling city-chic, you'll want to take in your gaming action in Bally's own original casino featuring over 80,000 thrilling square feet of all your favorite, titillating table games, nearly 2,200 sizzling slots and video poker games, keno, simulcast and a dedicated poker room. If you want to cowboy up, make sure you hit the Wild Wild West Casino, Atlantic City's first authentically themed, freestanding casino, connected to Bally's via walkway. And for a taste of traditional Atlantic City, get your game on in the Claridge Casino.

Bally's selection of dining options nearly rivals their vast array of gaming choices. For casual fare or a bite on the run, you can try Animations Coffee Shop, The Bagel & Doughnut Connection, Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, The Fulu Noodle Bar, Garden Cafe, Gold Tooth Gertie's Buns & Bagels, Johnny Rockets, Lone Star Snack Bar, Pickles, Sidewalk Buffet, Spa Cafe and Wok N Roll. And you won't go hungry for a choice of fine dining either with Arturo's, Mr. Ming's, The Twenties Steakhouse or Prime Place, which received top honors from the highly acclaimed Zagat Restaurant Survey.

Bally's main ballroom plays host to big-time events but you can also enjoy live entertainment Friday and Saturday nights in the more intimate settings of The Mountain Bar and Blue Martini. Another one of Bally's new additions is the seasonal Bikini Beach Bar, offering a variety of entertainment seven days a week, beach amenities, cabanas and capacity for 200 guests. But if you don't want to stray too far from the casino floor, the Lobby Lounge provides a relaxing, refreshing way to enjoy your drink.

A bevy of accommodations await you. Bally's was built around the still-standing Dennis Hotel, an historic structure that dates back to 1860. The old hotel is completely restored and guests are offered the choice between traditional accommodations in the Dennis Hotel section and more contemporary rooms and suites in Bally's Hotel Tower, that's in addition to the Garden Rooms, and the Claridge Casino at Bally's. As a guest, you can also indulge in Bally's world-class spa, indoor pool, fitness center and full-service beauty salon.

Bally's is distinct for "The Gateway," a $25 million expansion that was completed in July 2002 and connects the resorts in climate-controlled comfort. Guests can stroll by casinos, shops and restaurants for five city blocks - from the Claridge Casino, to Bally's, to The Wild Wild West Casino, to Coyote Kate's Slot Parlor and to Caesars Atlantic City, without ever exiting the buildings. In addition to the enclosed walk bridge, the Gateway includes approximately 10,000 square feet of retail space, featuring stores such as Park Place Jewelers and Studio Park Place, a stylish men's and women's clothing boutique.

So let's add it up! In total, the three properties have 1,753 hotel rooms, 21 restaurants, 6 lounges, 2 pools, 2 health spas, 14 shops, 220,000 square feet of gaming, a 1 550-seat theater, more than 80,000 square feet of meeting and convention facilities, 4,000 parking spaces and 17 bus bays.
