The BARBARY COAST, directly across the street from Ballys, has some terrific specials be it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner in their coffee shop.
Also, directly behind Ballys, the ELLIS ISLAND coffee shop has a great $5 steak special as well as other fine food.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND she try the crepes at PARIS that are served fast food style directly in front of the buffet.............very reasonably priced and very filling..........a meal in itself. They have a wide variety, be it meat, fruit, or for desert.........and they are awesome for under $6. The PARIS is right next door to Ballys.
