I booked through Booking.com. Five nights on Fremont Street, including a Saturday night, for an average of about $50 a night out the door, with no resort fee? Yes, please!
It's an older property. It first opened in 1932, it was closed for sometime, and then the hotel rooms were refurbished and reopened. No, I was not expecting the penthouse at the Bellagio, but I was very happy with what I got. I did not spend a lot of time in the room. It was primarily for sleeping.
I asked for a room in the back of the property, and that's what I got. I was in room 271, and I did not hear one "peep" of noise from Fremont Street, and let me tell you, especially on Saturday night, they were partying Hearty out there. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spotless, and while The tub did not have a grab bar, it did have a permanent bathmat to help. Keep me from slipping. The TV had a good picture, and had a good number of channels, as well as movies to rent. Supposedly the hotel is haunted, but I did not personally have any haunted encounters.
Binion's is a great property. Yes, it is an older casino, but it is kept very clean. All of the employees are friendly. If you sign up for a players card, you not only get $10 in free play, you also get free parking for your entire stay. That helped me a lot. in addition, because it was my birthday month, I also got a coupon for either a BOGO, or because I was by myself, half off my entrée in the coffee shop. No, not fancy food, but very good food for a reasonable price . Binions also has a nice T-shirt shop, where you can get good quality T-shirts for as low as only eight bucks.
The only problem I had, and the only reason I am knocking down a star, was because of the Wi-Fi. It always worked well enough to do email, Facebook, etc., but at times it was spotty, and it was hard to stream video. I don't know if it was maybe because there was not enough bandwidth to cover both the casino and the hotel. I did mention it to the front desk, and she said she would let their tech people know about it.
Overall, a great stay. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
