Ballys in Copaige - warning...

You ladies, be aware of your surroundings when parking over at Ballys on Sunrise. I parked last night almost behind Target because there was no other place to park. It's dimley lighted over there and there are several questionable features in that area (dumpsters, shrubs/trees, etc.). Anyway when I was walking out last night, two large men followed me out. I thought they were just leaving and stuff. One got on one side of me, and the other on the other side. The first one asked my name and introduced himself. He asked me if I wanted to 'be friends and party' with him and his friend. I told him no, but they continued to sandwhich me almost to my car. I told him I was married and he said 'Who cares, so am I!' I finally got scared enough where I turned around and told him to F off!'. They looked surprised and left. I shook all the way home. Now I'm afraid to go back because they must know I go there alone. I could easily pick them out of a crowd but who wants to deal with this crap when you are trying to do something positive for yourself?!?

That is scary- I am sorry that happened to you! I am sure if you ask an employee they will be happy to walk you to your car.

sad that you had to experience that. They need to do something with that parking lot (I used to live near that a few years ago). Oh wow...I'm so sorry.

Re: Ballys in Copaige - warning...

I called management and I'm waiting for them to call me back. I just wish I remember the guys name because maybe someone would recognize them. For all I know they could have had guest passes or something.
