STATELINE, Nev. – Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort is bringing the fun and the fright with the return of its legendary Freaker’s Ball on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 9 p.m. The 46th annual bash will once again take over Blu Nightclub, turning it into a Halloween playground filled with music, dancing, and one of the region’s most iconic costume contests, boasting $10,000 in prizes.

Doors open at 9 p.m., and guests are encouraged to pull out all the stops with costumes that shock, dazzle or downright terrify.
