My husband and I stayed for two nights at Binions in April 2009. This hotel is very old. On one website there was a comment that said "Recently renovated in 1952". We thought this was hilarious. All of the furnishings are just that....50 years old. Although like mostly everyone says...it is kept clean. Check in was the quickest I have ever had in Vegas, about two minutes.
The first room we had had felt for carpeting with multiple old iron stains and a very old TV with no reception. We arrived very late so we immediatly went down to gamble and when we came back to sleep we immediatly noticed that the bed was seriously as hard as a rock. We slept there anyway for as long as we could....about six hours. All of the next day our backs and shoulders were killing us.
The next morning we went to the desk and asked for a different room because of the bed. The clerk was very helpful and just nodded as if she knew about the beds. She gave us keys to another room. The second room was the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. Maybe 8X8....not kidding. Although the bed was slightly softer it was a little bigger than a twin size bed for two people. So basically we had to sleep on top of each other.
Now on to the casino. This is one of our favorites in Las Vegas because the slots seem to always be loose and the tables hot with low limits. This hotel is dead center of all the action on Fremont street.
We did eat one morning at the coffee shop and the food was terrible and very overpriced.
So overall this is a very old hotel that is kept clean but has the worst beds possible. I would not recommend staying here longer than two nights because the uncomfortable sleeping will make you so tired that you wont enjoy your time in Vegas. But if you are looking for a room at rock bottom prices and can sleep on very hard beds then go for it. The location and the casino definetly do something to make up for the hotel rooms.
