Ballys & Paris

We will be visiting LV for the first time in 6+ years. I read that machine cash tickets are interchangeable for Ballys & Paris. Is this true? If so, does this mean that Harrah's considers Ballys & Paris one property (i.e. we can play at both properties in the same day without hurting ADT)? We'll be staying at Paris. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Unless something has changed recently, Ballys/Paris is a single casino.
W-2Gs are paid by "Parball." Only Bally's is listed on the annual Win/Loss
statement for play at Bally's and Paris.

I don't recall ever getting a W2G from Paris or Ballys with the contraction Parbal as the issuer. I've gotten W2G's at both properties and have received Ballys at Paris and Paris at Ballys. I believe it depends upon what time of the day you hit and what supervisor is available at which cage to sign off on the jackpot. I've also had the pay tickets not be interchangeable at either casinos cash machines and slot machines, but at times some have. I do not believe they are completely intermixed, but I do believe they work as one company doing business under different names for the most part.

The last few times I've gambled at Bally's/Paris, the tickets were NOT interchangeable. There was a ticket cashing machine for Paris near the Bally's main cashier and a ticket cashing machine for Bally's near the Paris main cashier.

I researched it and in fact something did change recently. Paris got its own
license in May 2008. So it's possible that they now track your play
separately and have individual ADTs. I don't know.

*a couple of years ago the two casinos 'disengaged' themselves and now
consider themselves separate entities (for instance, you have to have
separate markers for each casino).

They separated Paris and Ballys due to the mortgage and financing that they got to do the buyout.
