Aww you should!
It is kind of off the strip, But it's not too bad of a spot. you could even get a 10.00 A day tram pass and the station is just across the street from Hooters. So You can get a ride up and down the strip.
I see where you come from on that! We did a lot of walking, and Bally's as well as the other hotels are a little more convenient with that.
