  • I REALLY wanted to hold off on writing this review. I actually do like this place, but its current state, however much I actually do like and frequent this casino.... Someone needs to give this place some TLC. The interior is kind of fun, it's like you're going into one of those Old West saloons where the piano guy and sarsaparilla should be slung around, though I doubt the Old West had the aforementioned "sexy cowgirls" dealing out cards like that. But I seriously doubt that they're going for historical accuracy here. The staff as a whole, however, has always been very nice and helpful. "It doesn't sound bad so far", you say, so what gives? With the downturn in economy, they've shut down a LOT of areas in the casino. For the longest time, it was all of the rooms (which were small, but not bad, and a comfortable bed). What hasn't come back, however, is their excellent Coffee Shop that shut down in 2009, where the food was consistently excellent with a familiar and top-notch staff, and even the casino's gift shop is gone. They had a generic T-shirt shop over by the Coffee House that always looked like it was going out of business for years, but now it's taken over the other side of the casino, replacing the gift shop and the original check-in area. It looks like they've turned a casino cashier cage into the new check-in place, and it just looks ghetto. And there lies the problem with Binion's. It doesn't look run down. It's just that when you move past the main gambling floor that it starts looking closed down. I understand self-preservation to stay open at all, but the place is always looking busy with gambling. Certainly some of that revenue can help to restore some of that shine on the old girl. I really hope things get better for this casino. It's got old-style charm, a great location, and a lot of history going for it. It deserves better. It deserves to be restored. If they can work on fixing up the Plaza, then it's time that Binion's owners take a note and do the same.
