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.

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.

With the property now having local ownership with plans to finally spruce the place up, right before my first trip of 2008, I thought I'd try the place out. I stayed there again in December, and you really could see the place is getting spruced up. Once they get the rooms renovated, the place will be nice. Binion's Coffee Shop is definitely one of my favorite places to eat at, and you cannot go wrong getting one of their famous burgers from their deli or their snack bar.

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

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.

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.

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.

You can't judge a dirty bottle of wine by its dirt. The days of languishing under absentee or clueless owners is over. Give the big B a shot.

Old school fun and a sentimental destination - where I learned to play NLH poker tournaments.
