I am there 3 nights. Never stayed there. I have a single King N/S booked any tips or advice on certain rooms? Any tips on the property as well would be appreciated! I am happy that I have a quick walk to Ellis Island!

Ballys is connected with Paris. I recommend doing one breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi which is in Paris. Order the Blueberry French Toast (which comes decadant with whipped cream) and an order of bacon. Their bacon is the best (do specify crispy, if you like crispy, though it usually comes that way). No, it isn't a cheap breakfast but memorable. We learned to prefer the "atrium", which is the section just inside the outside. Quieter and still a good view. If you prefer the outside, the two-topper tables at either end are more pleasant, IMO. Haven't stayed at Ballys, always walked over from Bellagio at least once per trip. Good luck.
Burger Brasserie, if it is still there, has good sliders, sort of a sports place (games on big TVs) but not terribly loud. Between Ballys and Paris.
I'm told Ballys 'regular' rooms are larger in comparison with most Vegas 'regular' rooms.

Be prepared to pay through the nose for everything. Don't gamble there, though maybe if you're planning on going over to Ellis Island, you already know that. The ambiance is kind of nice with all the faux-French touches.
I stayed there a couple of times during the first few years of its existence, and the rooms were very nice. I don't know if they've ever done an extensive remodel.
They used to have many banks of bonusing slots and $1 9/6 JOB, and an 0.3% slot club. You got good offers for modest play. They had a really good French-themed buffet. So I consider the current place to be a pathetic shell of its former self. One-third the experience at three times the price.
I prefer a room facing the cromwell. Avoid any room that faces Paris as the noise from their nightclub can be pretty loud.

Used to stay here on all our trips to Vegas. Rooms have been updated but try to get one in the Jubilee Tower as they are the nicest. Also the elevator for these rooms are right next to the bar and snack area. The slots and tables games leave a lot to be imagined so don't gamble too much here, save your money for Eliis Island. Ballys does have a few decent restaurants but you should use the walkthrough to go to Paris for more selection.
Have a great time though...
