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.

Binions is a hotel on Freemont Street. It has a great restaruant in it where you can get a cheap meal called the Coffee Shop. They also have the original Binion's million there where you can get your picture taken with a million dollars in cash. They also have dealers dressed in fancy clothes that are almost more sexy then any place in Vegas, plus if you need help Gambling they are the place to go.

You have to go over to the Golden Nugget and see their shark tank. Now rumor around down town at the casinos is that the Nugget is a bear and they don't treat people as nice, but they do have some nice restaurants and their pool is amazing. They have a shark tank right in the middle of their pool and there is even a waterslide that runs through it.

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. - 30229
