Fremont vs Binion's Hotel & Gambling Hall : Vegas Battle Royale

Fremont
Las Vegas Downtown
Blow by blow:

fremont casino is a place i have to stop at everytime i'm in vegas love to gamble there and their buffet is very damn good!

Ahh well the fremont !!! well again as for my last night in vegas we were on our way to the fremont street experience and were hungry and wanted food and pretty damn quick so we visited the fremont buffet and well.... it wasn't what i expected for what we paid the food selection was ok but the food it's self was on the (NOT SO FRESH SIDE)!!! so if you are on a cheap budget and are pretty buzzed and don't care about quality, this is the place for you...

Except for the 6:5 nonsense, good atmosphere for table games. We also enjoyed trying to get laughs from a very surly dealer.

Small, but clean and stylish rooms. Perfect for a weekend, but a little small for an extended stay. One of the best sports books D'town and a comfortable enough spot to kick back for a couple hours. I seem to wear out a path to the $2 Coronas/Heinekens on every trip. A clean, simple place to drink and gamble.

Binion's Hotel & Gambling Hall
Las Vegas Downtown
Blow by blow:

The best place to play downtown. If nothing more than the history of the place and the people that have walked through those doors. I know it's not the same place anymore that "Suitcase Man" William Lee Bergstrom gambled at and the Binion family is long gone but still a fun place to play craps and drink while admiring the people of downtown.

Can't beat Binions...
The south Building used to be The Mint hotel. Binion's is one of my Favorites. Plus they have photos of Stu Unger on thier walls..

Binion's has really been upgrading lately and going old school with fun books and free play. Make sure you check out the specials. Back in February, I got $20 in free play coupon, free beer coupon and a $10 match play. Plus, they had a promotion to get a free picture taken with a million bucks cash.

Still one of my favorite spots Downtown even with the hotel side closed (although reports are that they are renovating the rooms and may reopen in the near future). I miss the old Binion's Coffee Shop (The converted snack bar they call the coffee shop is not the same.) though.

Actually a nice small casino in downtown. Food in the Binion's Coffee Shop (which is in the basement) was surprisingly good and cheap!!

It's so much fun to gamble at Binion's, you barely notice you're playing 6:5 blackjack. Seriously, find a hopping craps game here and hang on for a great time. Great cocktail service, great coffee shop and sports bar.

I stayed there a couple times. Once before the Horseshoe branding was removed. Once right after. Both times I was able to get rooms for $25-30/night. They are passable places to sleep, but I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time hanging out in them. Because Downtown is my favorite area to play, Binion's has been a fave of mine for a while. Even when they had the country trollops carting around the casino doing songs. Corny, but a fun change of pace. Frankly, this place has always felt the most like I expected from a gambling hall. Low ceilings, dark, old and wizened dealers and waitresses (like the short, big-haired woman who turns up in EVERY show on Vegas), serious craps players at all hours. The post-trollop layout changes are not my favorite, but I'll cope. Our family tradition is to go to the snak bar first thing and get one of the heaping bowls of beef stew. Now that Al (the dude in charge of the snack bar) has retired, I may have to develop a new tradition. Huzzah to Al.

They had double-deck blackjack that paid 3 to 2 for $5 a hand with good rules when I played there in July 2008. That is the main reason I like this place. It feels like a classic.
To bad I will never get the chance to stay here, but such is life.

Benny Binion saved my butt quite a few times over the years with his generous loans to me back during my years running Vegas World. Too bad his daughter had to screw the whole thing up.

Great Craps! Original home of the WSOP.Used to have a great steak deal in the coffee shop.

Binions casino is old Vegas at its best. Interesting blend of locals and tourists, low limits and lots of action. Love this place, great drink service. Look for Priscilla, a senior cocktail waitress who looks like a miniature Dolly Parton. She's so much fun and keeps the drinks flowing.

Binion's is where I enjoy playing Craps down on Fremont Street. Usually you can find a spot at a $5 table and enjoy yourself.

This is an Old school palace. It's small but the fact you can gamble where so many great people have is sweet.

Comfortable joint with plenty of action and decent drink service. Large enough so it never has felt over-crowded to me. There is a great lounge in the back near the sport's book serving the 4Q's micro brews and good pub grub.

Always a fun place to gamble. Dealers are extremely helpful. You get service there you'd not get on the strip.

Classic poker room surrounded by classic dump. I hear the steakhouse is pretty good.

The hotel is closed now, but when it was open, it was a trip back in time because you could imagine when this old gal was prom queen. The casino has always depressed me, and the parking garage is disgusting and really difficult to find your way around in. The Fremont has this place beat, hands down.
