| - This is definitely old school vegas with a view. Unfortunately as with most relics, the food also reflects the age, and not in a good way.
If you are looking for old vegas charm with an okay meal, I think the nostalgia and view of this place will win you over. For me, the meal and service was far lacking to make up for the setting to make it an enjoyable experience.
The Binon's Horseshoe casino has definitely changed since the 90s when I remember being here last. No more dark and smoky rooms (and I mean thick layers of smoke visible in the lower atmosphere). There's much more color and updated lighting. But once you step into that glass elevator to the 24th floor it's like your own private time machine. Especially since there is no AC, your on the outside of the building facing south, and you age whole 10 years by the time you reach the top...
Your greeted by "Vinny" and the first thing you noticed that every one working was male (at least that night), definitely old school "Mob supper club" feel.
The view is not to shabby, little bit of downtown drab but you can see clear to the strip.
The service wasn't that exciting and I cautiously opted for the Chicken Fried Lobster. I figured you can't go wrong with Lobster and frying it just seemed right. I think if they fried it in butter it might have been better but this dish just didn't do it for me, the breading just seemed to mask the flavor too much and they even served it along side a dipping sauce, which was too over powering on it's own.
Others in our group went for the Steak which was ok, The quality of the cut was better than what you get at Outback and you could definitely tell it was grilled over a good quality fire but it was lacking something.
I'd return if someone wanted an old school Vegas experience but unlikely to return for the food alone.
