Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon - The Real Deal :

Nestled somewhere in the pecking order between Slots-O-Fun and O'Shea's, Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon is pretty much just that... a gamblin' hall and a saloon with a hotel on top. If you were to pluck Bill's from its amazing location - right on the corner of Flamingo Road and The Strip - and plop it, say... a quarter mile east on Flamingo Road where the old Bourbon Street casino used to be, chances are that you would have zero need or interest in going there other than witnessing the marvel that is Big Elvis.

Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon History

Barbary Coast changed its name to Bills Gamblin Hall and Saloon (in honor of William 'Bill' Harrah, founder of Harrah's Entertainment) shortly after Harrah's took the place over in February 2007. The current Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon occupies a shoebox sized plot of land on the corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Blvd. Its probably best known as the joint people walk past on their way from Ballys to the Flamingo. The Flamingo had an opportunity to buy this joint when it was just a seedy motel, but declined... gulp.... talk about a missed opportunity. As a result the Coast Casino company bought the motel and built upwards and blocked the view of the Flamingo for north bound travelers on the Strip. Harrah's traded the former Westward Ho! site to Boyd Gaming in exchange for Barbary Coast in late 2006. They changed the name to Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon shortly thereafter.





Location of Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon:

Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon is right in the middle of the 4B's corner - Bally's, Bill's, Bellagio and Besars Balace on Blamingo Road. Nyuk nyuk.

Cool Stuff About Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon:

You haven't lived until you've seen Big Elvis. A true legend.

Guests at Bill's have access to the pool at the Flamingo.


The Rooms at Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon

Bill's remodeled its hotel rooms in 2008, banishing its 1978 bordello chic suites to the trash heap of history. A sad day indeed. Recession busting rates range from $30 to $125 a night on weekends. During the height of the mid 2000's Vegas boom, Bills was commanding weekend rates of $250/night. BWAHAHAH!


Restaurants at Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon

Dining options at Bills are slim compared to previous efforts. The Victorian Room is instantly forgettable should you be lucky enough to but The Steakhouse at Bill's continues some of the tradition started by Michael's which has since moved from Bill's to the South Point.


Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon Tips

Bill's Gambin' Hall and Saloon has some hopping entertainment in the Lounge most notably - Pete 'Big Elvis' Valee. And when they say 'big', they mean big. Pete voice is fantastically Elvis-like and sounds just great! You have to count on the smaller joints to bring you the wonderfully bizarre.

Great Hotel and excellent location. Rooms are nice and clean with a great staff. Big Elvis, Rapid Craps, 1 dollar margarita's and the Bill's mini pitchers are outta this world. It always a place I hit up when I visit Vegas.

I like gambling in Bill's first and foremost. Limits are a little high at times for what it is but I was a big fan of $1 bottles of Miller Chill back in October and I do want to stay here in the future because the location cannot be beat.

Love staying at Bills, especially on solo trips. Rooms are fair, nice beds and nice TV. Bathroom is a bit weak. But no one can touch the quick walk from your room to the strip, good coffee shop (Victorian Room), and some of the lowest limits on gambling for a 3 block radius.

Learned to play craps at this hotel right out of college in 1994. It's old and has that old Vegas vibe and one of my favorite places to play craps still. I guess I am just and emotional and sentimental fool. I have tried for years to get thrown out for counting cards here after hearing all the rumors of how tight they are but I don't seem to be good enough to get any attention. Fun place and make sure you give Big Elvis a wide berth...

The wife loves the simple Victorian decor. Have stayed here many times and enjoyed the late night $5.79 Steak & Eggs. The rooms were simple, bed was comfortable and the vies from room 102 were great as they over look the Fountains of the Bellagio. Staff was great and room was clean.

The ultimate best value on the strip. No one will argue, this is the prime location in Vegas. Two minutes to the best intersection in America. Is it a five-diamond masterpiece? No. Is it cheap? Yes. Does it compare, if not surpass, the room quality of other two/three star strip options. For sure. Do I like asking and answering my own questions?

Blackjack is great here, and you get to hear Big Elvis while you play. It's a low budget thrill the entire time. The people watching and cheap beer, a great place to stop into

I guess I see this place as one of the few old school Vegas joints left. Pretty rough around the edges and smoky as hell. But they have $5 craps most nights which is enough to get me in the door. Beer tastes like piss.

Everyone is always happy here for whatever reason. Caught their $1 drink special during a mid-2005 trip and promptly drank my weight in Red Bull and vodka. The $4-ish after-hours breakfast special is exactly what I want at 4 a.m.

For location on the srip it can't be beat and it has one of the best after hours clubs in Vegas. I liked it more when it was Barbary Coast, but it will do for a low limit casino on the strip

(Aug 2010) Great location of course, easy parking, and perhaps the coziest casino on the strip that doesn't make you feel itchy. The room is alright, but I got the worst night's sleep on the lousy mattress in my room since I stayed at Circus Circus last spring. You will also deal with street noise through single pane windows.

if you have zero plans to eat here and ONLY plan to use this place for the location (and it is a great location, next to Flamingo, and Bally and across LV Blvd from Caesars and the Bellagio) for "just the bed". then this is your place. Beware the desk people not the most friendly and helpful "lost" my reservation, good thing I keep ALL my travel info on my Palm and got my room even after they said there was no reservation and for less than what they wanted to charge me that day. Also steer clear of the room service, wife got food poisoning.

I really just added this to slag the place. Was the first place I stayed at back when it was the Barbary and it was amazing. Went through there a couple of years ago and almost cried. A total lack of care by the good folks over at Harrah's.

Bill's makes me ANGRY. The old Barbary Coast was the low-roller joint that helped me fall in love with Vegas - low limits, awesome bathrooms, the cheap and great Victorian Room, and especially strong and frequent cocktail service, particularly for playing 25c video poker at the bar). After loss limiting the first night of my last trip, I pulled out a couple hundred and went to Bill's with a buddy - what a disappointment. The formerly elegant bathrooms are now run down, the drink service is a shell of its former self, you have to play max coins at 25c to get comp drinks and even then its only well and draft beer (used to include bottled beer) and not at the fast rate that the old Barbary used to manage, and then to top it off the Victorian Room has more than doubled its prices! What a trainwreck. Harrah's continues to be the bottom of the barrel.
