If you are staying on the strip, its a worthwhile trip to see downtown vegas and especially Binions. However, I found the casino and poker room to be a dirty, bland enviorment, and would recommend playing in the Golden Nugget if youre going downtown, or play at Bellagio or Mirage if you're at least solid amatuer. We played in a tournement and cash game at Binions and it was nothing special at all. Definitly check out the wall of champions and Bennys bullpen though.
The low limit games we found some really bad players, looking to dump money just so they said they played at binions. However there were some pros playing in higher games, but overall the skill level wasnt that great.
Dealers were very friendly and hardly had any misdeals. Very satisfied.
Friendly and fast. However, not the most attractive waitresses in vegas.
Not very crowded when we went on a Tuesday afternoon in August. Handled well but I cannot comment on busy hours.
