Ballyā€™s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort

8/10 Good
"When I booked the rooms, I requested adjoining rooms. I then called the property the day before our arrival to ensure that we had adjoining rooms, which was very important because I had a special needs grandson with us. We did not get the joining room although we were on the same floor it was very difficult to maneuver. I was very disappointed other than that, the stay was OK"
