text: I was at Bally's due to a convention and was already put off by the room and a gym that is only open from 6am to 6pm.  i am still scratching my head about that.  Anyway, I was in Vegas going on my second day and was not willing to eat at another buffet and I was really in the mood for a steak. Co-workers that were at the convention kept talking about Gordon Ramsey's restaurant in Paris. I wasn't willing to mortgage my house to eat dinner.  So I decided to venture into Bally's Steakhouse.  My son gave me a little toy solder (Capt. Chaos) to take pictures of while I was out so that he could see what i was up to when i am off travelling for work...  Good Times!  I was a little concerned because restaurants with the same name as a hotel usually are lame, but i was pleasantly surprised!  \n\nI was greeted by the hostess and she was able to sit me right away (even without reservations).  I noticed that the majority of tables were set up to sit two people comfortably.  If you had more than 3 in a party, the tables might be too crowded (assuming that your group orders appetizers,drinks, etc.).  There were two groups with about 10+ people, but they were placed more in the middle of the restaurant where there is a lot of foot traffic. As soon as I sat, the waiter let me know that he was helping another table and would be right with me. Another person swept through and supplied some water and some warm bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  Next, the waiter came by and recommended a nice Pinot Noir from the Russian River (excellent).  I ordered the Caesar Salad (average) for starters.  For the main course, I ordered the Bone In Ribeye (24oz) with the baked potato and grilled asparagus.  The steak was great! Way better than I expected: medium rare, very nice sear and tender. I didn't need to add any additional seasoning which was great.  It was probably one of the better steaks I have eaten in my short life here on this rock.  I took several pictures of Capt. Chaos posing on the steak!  He was impressed too. The asparagus was cooked just right and the potato was... a potato. All in all i was very happy with my meal and would most likely go back when/if i stay at Bally's in the future!\n\nWord
