I'm glad you were able to make it past the canopy and explore Fremont East. The revival of this area is in a delicate state due to the down economy. It's up to people like TCers who appreciate mid-century and off-beat aesthetic to support the effort. Cool that you stayed at Binion's. TLC Enterprises (who also owns the Four Queens) is really bringing this classic place back from the low-point when Harrah's had ownership. 10x craps and 3:2 blackjack are great reasons to gamble there. (Although I do wish they'd bring back the 100x). That reminds me, although this last decade was a cool period for Las Vegas, there's one recent event which is not cool. That's 6:5 blackjack. This seems to be the norm now for the Strip and another reason to stay and play in Downtown. Besides, Downtown is the most convenient place to be when you're going to visit Frankie's.
