Default Re: Downtown Las Vegas Visits Long-Term Objective

Thanks much for the linkage to the Las Vegas Poker Room website! It's just what I needed, from a cursory look-see.

As a person of considerable vintage, I prefer to refer to Binion's and Union Plaza as having character! When I say I've stayed on the 3rd floor of Old Binion's, I'm referring to a hotel purchased by Jack Binion in 1950. It's quaint, and they've done not a thing to cause that; it just is! And I can walk down 3 flights of stairs (including the very long walk from the fattened up 2nd floor, due to the catwalks above the casino proper), and be right in the casino. Or I can duck into a hole in the wall, and I'm in a totally different world immediately (the hotel). I can explore the back hallways, and think about the way gambling was back 50 and more years ago!

So for me these places aren't dumps; they have character!

Dave
