Bally's Hotel and
Casino: 3645 Las Vegas Blvd. (the Strip)
Written by Haunted Poker for exclusive
use.
On November 21, 1980, the second largest hotel fire in
United States history (in terms of lives lost) broke
out. Eighty-four people died in this horrifying and
tragic event, and 679 were injured. The MGM was a
glamorous and luxurious hotel/casino that stood at the
corner of Flamingo and Las Vegas Boulevard, where
Bally’s now stands. The old MGM burned to the ground on
that fateful day in history. (The new MGM is further
south.)
Soon after the fire, Bally’s bought the property where
84 people died in panic—some guests threw themselves out
the windows to their deaths when rescue ladders could
not reach their floor in time—and it seems that these
spirits have not left the location of their terrible
demise.
On most accounts, it seems that the ghosts are mainly
sighted on the higher floors (19 through 24). Guests and
employees alike report seeing ghostly figures in the
North Tower. Former employees of Bally’s also report
that a service elevator in the North Tower of Bally’s is
avoided at all costs after room service employees were
killed in it.
