Downtown Vegas Why I Love It

By Chris Linch

Freemont street in downtown Las Vegas gives you a true feel for the old Las Vegas. The strip is a very nice area full of luxury high rise hotels and expensive meals and gambling, where as you can go downtown and get your old school Vegas fix, gamble and have fun and stay in some pretty nice properties while you are at it.

Get your picture taken for free with one million dollars cash at Binion's in Las Vegas. If you are just learning to gamble or really want to make some money I say go to Binion's. I always have a good time Gambling there, and I believe I have made money there each time I have visited. I even stayed in the hotel once and it is also pretty nice. Be nice to the girl that checks you in and she might upgrade you for free!

Now I have heard bad things about the Golden Nugget from pit bosses at the other casinos so I have never stayed or gambled there, but if you are in the area I do say you have to go check out the Shark Tank. There is a huge Shark Tank in the middle of their pool and you can even take a waterslide through it. They also have an outside bar on freemont where you can buy a specialty glass and get cheap refills on all drinks.

Before I became a Las Vegas freak so to speak, I stayed at the 4 Queens. This was my very first trip downtown and I loved it. I think that is why I always make sure I get back. I love this hotel because you can gamble and they will continue to bring you drinks. It is easy to get waited on, and the place is pretty nice. The hotel is old, but like I said it is a piece of history.

To conclude if you are going to stay downtown you can choose from the cheaper Binion's or 4 Queens or the more pricy Golden Nugget. You can also find deals at The Freemont and the Plaza as well as the Golden Gate where the 50 cent Shrimp Coctail originated. I haven't stayed at the latter hotels, but as soon as I do you can count on me to tell you about them. - 31368
