Binion's Hotel Apache - Budget-Friendly & Historic, but NOT for Everyone

Binion's Hotel Apache - Budget-Friendly & Historic, but NOT for Everyone

Hotel Apache opened in 1932 and served several notable celebrities before closing in 2009. Fortunately, they renovated and reopened the hotel in 2019 and did something unique with their hotel product. Leaning into the resort's history, Binion's recreated their rooms to look and feel as they did back in the 1930s using yellow paint, dark wood, hardwood floors, historic photographs, stained glass windows, and even an "old-timey" radio (that worked!) and a rotary phone. The room, while charming, is on the small side, not even having enough room to accommodate a TV stand or closet to house the iron, ironing board, and hanger bar. Because rooms at Binion's Hotel Apache are just behind the neon facade that overlooks Fremont Street, many rooms are VERY loud until the early morning hours. There are quiet rooms at Binion's, but you can't book them specifically and you'll be at the mercy of occupancy and the front desk. Thankfully, I received a quiet option and didn't hear a peep. Binion's also offers a resort experience that'll appeal to value-seekers. The restaurant lineup is inexpensive yet good, and signing up for the All Access loyalty program will allow you to save an additional 10% at a handful of restaurants at both Binion's and their sister property 4 Queens across the street. Binion's casino was also dealing blackjack as cheap as $5, while craps and roulette were commanding $10 minimums.
