Some reviews of this hotel were very negative. I always like to form my own opioion. This property far exceeded my expectations. The room was a nice size and was very clean. We had a few minor problems,but they were handled promptly.The staff was amazing and everyone there is very customer oriented.If you want glitz and glamour,stay on the strip. . My husband had a bad cold while we were there and I needed to find a drug store to get him some cold medication.The front desk clerk offered to go get it for me when her shift ended. Imagine that !! It was within walking distance for me and I did it myself. I am from a very small town and was a bit apprehensive about wandering around by my self,but I felt safe doing it.
The casino was clean and the employees were helpful. They even take your picture with a million bucks and print the picture for you at no cost.
The coffee shop was great. If you go there,try the country fried steak. It was the best I've ever tasted. The snack bars were great. The tuna salad sandwich was excellent. The Binion burger was good. They even give you 2 for 1 coupons.
I would highly reccommend staying here. It is important to form your own opinion about these things.I absolutely loved this place. Thanks to Binion's, I had a wonderful trip to Las Vegas and we will be back..

Having read a number of reviews online, I was prepared for the worst but my stay at Binion's was better than I expected. Yes, the room was tired, with filthy windows, a prehistoric television, and duct tape covering a hole on the rug. But my room was clean enough, service at reception was excellent, and I had the sense that the owners were trying their best to improve things. It was too cold to swim but the pool area on the 25th floor provides an excellent, if windy, view of the city. This is not a place for a romantic getaway or to impress someone, but if you want a cheap room on Fremont street Binion's is a pretty good deal . I would stay there again if by myself, but not with my spouse.

As with the majority of downtown / Fremont hotels, this place has some great deals on hotel rooms. I've also stayed at Fitzgerald's and they're pretty much the same, save that Binion's has quicker elevators.
The room was a bit worn, but for a place to keep your stuff and sleep off the previous night, it's perfectly acceptable. Do not expect luxury or any extra amenities when staying here in a regular room at a discount rate.
Downtown is all about some of the last remaining old Vegas vibe, and convenience - there's no way you could visit 6 or 8 separate casinos and a few bars in one night on the strip, without taking many taxicab rides - - but downtown, it's all in walking distance. It's not glitzy, it's not luxury, no floor shows or roller-coasters, just gambling, drinking, people-watching, the Fremont light shows, and regular people generally having a great time.
If you want to stay downtown but step it up a star rating or two, check out the Golden Nugget, and their new pool area.
While the hotel itself was just the basics, I can say that the staff at Binion's were very gracious, helpful and friendly. The coffee shop downstairs is a bonus if you like breakfast any time of day.
They do offer free parking, but it's at one of the two hotel sides (and your room might be on the other side, so prepare for a bit of a walk). I thought I read that they had wi-fi, but couldn't get any sort of signal in my room.
I didn't check out the pool area, so I don't have an opinion on that.
I would recommend this hotel to someone who didn't want any extra frills.
If you're driving to this hotel (or any downtown hotel) from the airport, I suggest driving up the interstate and taking the 2nd downtown exit, as opposed to driving all the way up the strip... The strip will almost always be jammed with traffic, and unless you arrive at rush hour or happen upon an accident, taking the interstate can save you an hour or more in getting to / from the hotel.

This was my second stay at Binions. The rooms have a coffee maker and hair dryer. The pillows are comfortable. One day the housekeeper failed to close my door after making up the room. The curtain wouldn't shut all the way; 3 days after reporting still not fixed. Plenty of noise from the Fremont Street Experience and the crane that goes back and forth on Fremont at night to replace bulbs. Love the snack bars. The bean and ham soup with cornbread is 3.50; tuna salad sandwich with tomato and potato salad 3.95. I ate at the snack bar 5 times in a 4 day stay. I played all my craps here - dealers are very good. An excellent value; I will stay here again.
