128 Fremont St.Binion's is a 366-room hotel and legendary casino with one of the richest histories in downtown Las Vegas. The casino was started by the legendary Benny Binion in 1951, and has seen its share of dramatic ups and downs over the years. Recently purchased by TLC Enterprises (also owners of the Four Queens), Binion's is currently undergoing extensive renovations that promise to make it a true gambling, dining, and hotel destination once again. Their new poker room has just been completed (and is a sight to behold), as well as Benny's Bullpen, a sports-bar in the rear of the casino (the bar itself is an original antique, as are the stained glass windows separating it from the rest of the casino). Until the renovations are complete, guests are well advised to request a room in the "Mint" tower, where the rooms are much nicer and better maintained than those in the original Binion's building (the current casino is actually the original Binion's and the Mint casino combined). Binion's Steakhouse on the top floor of the hotel offers fine dining with a spectacular view. Binion's also features a rooftop pool, check with hotel for availability during remodeling.
