Last trip to Vegas I stayed on the strip at Bally's but also split time downtown. Loved it downtown. Several casinos close together and old-style Vegas feel. Cheap food (prime rib meal x 2 under $30), cheaper accomodations, cheaper gaming than the strip. When I go back I staying downtown.

We stayed at Binions last saturday night(well the 13th) wasn't too bad at all for like 60 bucks or whatever it was. I won like $600 bucks at Blackjack at the 4 Queens. Playing $15 or so a hand.
Downtown treated me real well.

El Cortez my fav. Alot of proffesional gamblers have said when in tournaments they have to play the big casinoes but private time they like the Cortez don't know if that's true but I have my best luck there and many staff are the same from when I first went 25 years ago.

I went to Vegas 9-9 thru 9-13, stayed at Sahara, it was cheaper than El Cortez so I tried it. Sahara was very nice and people very friendly- only negative was soooooooooo many people. I am not used to standing in line for everything. Sportsbook very small- if just making bets, it's fine, but if you are type to wager and watch you need to walk up street to I believe it is called Riviera. Last negative - the most beautiful women I have ever seen at Sahara. downright frustratng trying to concentrate with a steady stream of long legs and flip flops- don't remember the faces and I am usually not a letch.

Sahara is not really old town. 4 Queens and Plaza, and Nugget, and Binions are great for blackjack, et cetera. Stay out of buffets down there except for the Nugget's, and any breakfast buffet is okay. But The Nugget's is $20 for lunch/dinner and $10 for breakfast. The sportsbook at Nugget is great, and 4-queens is real small, as are the others. I was just there for the week and stayed at 4-Queens, and for the price -- $45, I could not go wrong. Las Vegas Blvd has changed a lot in the last two years. Most of the by hour and day motels are gone, as are the strip clubs and wedding spots. They are building hi-rises for around $400 Thousand each condo in that area, and it remains to be seen how that will work out. But they are really trying to upgrade that entire area.

I love Downtown. But I'm also a cheap-ass when it comes to rooms in Vegs. I'd love to have the kind of scratch to stay at the Wynn, but when I'm in Vegas, the only time I'm in the room is to shower, and sleep. Stayed at Binions once, rooms really small and old, but it's Binions. It was kinda cool for one night. Stayed at the 4 Queens last time, and for the price, was really nice. Stop in Jillians down at the end, and tell Robin "HI". Hottest bartender down there.
