@puddlepuppy82 Iam so sorry for your lose in the fire. I was 15 years old and staying in the hotel with my mom when the fire broke out. A horrible experience for us and everyone else in the fire and the heartbreaking loss of life. To this day I still have a tremendous fear of fire. Have been back to the hotel once since it became Ballys , but dont think I could ever stay in that hotel again. We usually stay at the Mandalay when in Vegas.
I lost a very dear co-worker and her husband in this fire. They took separate flights for the vacation, so if one should die in a plane accident their kids would still have a parent. Sadly they both were found dead in an elevator. Her St. Francis Hospital grieved along with all who were struck by this tragic event.
The older parts have the same feel that Incendio (1974) had.

Thanks for posting this. Informative, and the very old look gave it a rather eerie feel.

Hard to believe I go in Bally's all the time and realize that a major fire happened there 30 years ago...
