I was in Vegas for a conference held at Bally's.  At first glance, my room seemed really nice.  I had a king bed and an adorable blue velvet settee and matching ottoman.  We've all heard the rumor that casino's pump in oxygen to keep people awake and at the tables, but Bally's further incentifies you to stay awake by having really uncomfortable beds.  There is no fitted bottom sheet, so after stumbling into bed after a late night, you may find that you've peeled back one too many layers and are face to face with bare mattress.  Yuck.  Waking up in a tangled mess of top and bottom sheets is not a good way to start the day.  The mattress was cheap and uncomfortable, and I noticed small tears and stains on the sheets.\n  \nI had a nice window and balcony, but the sliding glass door was bolted shut.  Probably a good idea, but it sure would have been nice to have some fresh air.  The curtains were also stained with what looked like but I hope wasn't smeared blood.  I did have a small refrigerator in the room with a large dent in the middle.  It woke me up several times throughout the night with strange loud noises.  \n\nThe upside was the staff I encountered were all very nice and helpful. Also, it is well located on the strip. I've stayed at some pretty raunch hotels in the past, and this definitely wasn't worst, but I was certainly looking forward to my last night.
