walking- Ballys to EI to Terribles

I've done the walk from Bally's to EI...not bad. What about from there to Hard Rock and then Terrible's?

Thanks
From EI to Terrible's is not a bad walk, just continue east on Flamingo for a few minutes. However HR is out of your way. A walk from Bally's to EI, then HR before a long walk to Terrible's would be a trek.

If you don't mind walking and if you you are going to stop at each place for a while, you could make an entertaining afternoon adventure. Don't try it on a summer afternoon.
It is an entirely doable walk but probably some of the most unpleasant streets you will find. Koval is a terrible walk so I would suggest going down Flamingo, like Rocky suggested, to Terrible's first then up to Hard Rock. Follow that with a walk to the cab line at HR for a ride back to Bally's! You still get your exercise and while skipping the worst part of the trek.
As long as you're physically able to walk a couple of miles, it won't be bad. In fact, if you do it in segments, it won't be tough at all.

From Bally's, head east to Koval and Flamingo. Just south of the corner is EI, your first "rest stop." The next leg has you heading east on Flamingo again. About halfway to Terribles is Tuscany, which you can use as another rest stop if you want. In fact, even if you don't want a break, stop in anyway. Another quarter of a mile or so east and you're at Terribles. After some time at Terribles, cross the street and go south on Paradise about a half mile and you're at the HR. Assuming you're not pounding down cocktails at each stop, you should be fine.

Good Luck!

Just my $0.02, and maybe I'm paranoid, but I'd much prefer to do that walk during daylight hours.
Great info, thanks
Coming from a guy that walks the Hilton to Terribles to Hard Rock up to Planet Hollywood....no worries no fearsenjoy the walk!
Make it easy on yourself and take the bus. Worked well for me.

I've done that exact walk (actually from the casino formally know as the Barbary Coast).

It's not far to EI, maybe 10+/- minutes.

From EI to the Hard Rock takes maybe 20+/- minutes

From the Hard Rock to Terrible's is about another 15+/- minutes

It would have been about another 25+/- minutes back to the casino formally know as the Barbary Coast from Terrible's.
Just as we started to walk a cab pulled in Terrible's, and we took it back to the Strip.
Although I was wearing down I could have made it, but I felt Rock'n Rita was only walking because of me.
We were the cabbie's last fare of the day.

BTW, It was hot, I was carrying a backpack, and I walk fast.

I was told by security at a timeshare around there that Koval between Harmon and Flamingo can be dicey at night and Harmon between Koval and the HR the same . Groups wait and swarm hanging out in those motel like buildings on Harmon.

EI to Terribles seems OK as there is usually a lot of traffic on Flamingo.

Bally's to EI I do that every trip a few times usually before midnight...THe Westin is on the way across the street if you need to stop somewhere.
