We went to Bally's Sunday brunch a short while ago and I thought it was worth
reporting on. This is an extravagent "Champagne" brunch, held in their
steakhouse. Cost is around $50 so if you can get a comp you are that much
better off. (Bally's does have $1 PickEm and Paris has $1 9/6 JB if you are
looking for something to play.)
