Stayed @ Binions Feb 14th to the 18th. Booked with expedia and used one of their promos on the website which I found an awesome deal of 40 buck for the whole stay which breaks down to 10 bucks a night. The stay was fine--was on the top floor--23 on a non smoking floor--the elevators were quick and speedy considering we were on the top floor. The room was basic. Descent size--bathroom and other things work properly. The decor was older along with the tv but its nothing I pay much attention to. I'm a budget traveler who is hardly in the room except to sleep and shower & considering it was 10 bucks a night it was a great value. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The stay overall was a great value--non smoking room/floor. Had a coupon book and ate at the coffee shop with a 2-4-1 breakfast and have to say it was one of the best meals the whole trip.

My wife and i now live near Vegas and had decided that we would 'sleep around' town and see what hotels were worth staying at. After booking a room at and staying at Binion's on Fremont street, i can say without any hesitation that this place needs to have the management horse whipped publicly!

The Casino was ok, the front desk staff and valet were nice but the room.... UUUGH! This room looked like it had never been updated since 1968, wall paper peeling and there was actually black smoke residue from an apparent fire in the room and the entire hallway. $49 a night was pure robbery! DO NOT stay here... do yourself a favor, walk across fremont street, pay an extra $20 and stay at the place that has the words gold and the word nugget in it. You will be doing yourself a huge favor.

Oh! And then we took some friends up to eat at the Binions ranch steakhouse (which i had eaten there twice before and was impressed!). After enduring crappy service, terrible food and an overall poor dining experience, they gave me a $250 bill! I paid it, tipped $20 (as i was doing the guy a favor at that) and swore to never give this place another dollar as long as i live.

You should swear to do the same.

I love trying out new places especially downtown so I booked Binions for 1 night out of what turned out to be a 9 night stay due to snow. I only wanted to stay 1 night just in case it lived up to it's reputation! The registration gentleman could not have been nicer. He originally gave me a room on the second floor so I asked him if it was in the newly remodeled tower which he replied that the remodeling had not begun but will start in 2009. I must have looked disappointed because he looked in the computer again and said he had a mini suite available on the 12th floor, super! Well, it was not what I had envisioned. I probably would not have liked the regular rooms because the furnishings in the mini suite were old and worn. The carpet did look new, the bed was very comfortable but the bathroom was very small and the sink was so low that I couldn't imagine anyone over 5 feet being comfortable standing over the sink. As stated in a lot of the reviews, the windows were so filthy dirty that I could not get anything but a fuzzy picture of the view of the FSE. There was also a coffee maker in the room which is always a plus for me.

All in all my stay at Binions was enjoyable and would not rule out staying there again but would be careful of the choice of rooms given.

Stayed early December and the big story was the heat. Not outside, but in the room. 65 outside 80 in the room. Room never got below 78 for our two night stay. Called the front desk and was told they have a central heating sytem and the colder it was outside the warmer it got inside. So, if you stay in February, I assume the inside temp approaches 90.

The room was acceptably clean but showed lots of wear. Broken lamp shades, cig burns everywhere, 30 year old TV. As everyone says, the windows are crusty and it would have been great if they opened to let some of the heat out.

Got the room for around $15 a night from hotels.com. So, it wasn't a terrible value. Have stayed downtown at Golden Nuggett and Main Street Station and this a quite a step down.

A bright spot was the coffee shot. Good hearty fare at a fair price.
