- The first time I went to Bally's they tried to screw me out of big bucks
- and you couldee that all they wanted to do is sign on the dotted line
- So what I did was to look around the place then look in the local paper
- and got the same membership for 200.00 lifetime with 29 annual renewal.
- The same membership they were trying to sucker me in cost something like
- 800.00. When I told them I got it privetly they said I was not going to
- get the option of using my unused dollars to upgrade it at a later time.
- I told them that for 600.00 less it was worth it.
