"One of the most storied names in Vegas gambling — Benny Binion's original joint, now operating as a casino-first property with the historic Hotel Apache tower."
Overall Rating
Binion's is a Vegas institution. Benny Binion founded the World Series of Poker here, and the casino still carries that old-school gambling DNA. The Hotel Apache tower is a historic building with modest but renovated rooms. No resort fee is a genuine advantage.
Modest rooms in a historic building. Renovated but not luxurious. The price point reflects the experience.
No pool.
How this resort holds up in peak Vegas summer (June–September)
No pool. Indoor casino keeps you out of the heat. Fremont Street Experience is covered by the LED canopy, which helps.
Founded by Benny Binion in 1951, Binion's Horseshoe was the original home of the World Series of Poker. The property has changed hands multiple times. The Hotel Apache building dates to 1932 and is one of the oldest surviving hotel buildings in Las Vegas.
Budget travelers. Poker players. History buffs. Anyone who wants to say they stayed in one of the most legendary addresses in gambling history.

Binion's is for the gambler who wants history, low minimums, and no resort fee — not for the traveler who wants amenities.

The first ground-up downtown resort in decades. Stadium Swim is the most impressive pool concept in Vegas. Adults only, by design.
The class of Fremont Street. The pool has a shark tank in the middle of it. The rooms are the best in downtown Vegas (after Circa).
Boyd Gaming's Hawaiian-themed downtown property — a beloved institution for Hawaiian visitors and a reliable budget-friendly base for Fremont Street.
