    Got into downtown Vegas this morning....
    so frigging depressing. how did people do it at the bash? there isnt anything here like there was the last time I was down here...about 4 years ago. Used to be multiple line sources, now you have 3 unless you want to walk over to El Cortez. everything has been moved around trying to make the places look like 'strip' resorts. The 'charm' of downtown was it was dump, but everything was where you could find it. Now its all slot machines and everything else has its own room or is way off the beaten path. I couldnt even find the Golden Nugget poker room. not that there would be anyone there, but would be nice to see what they did to it since they hid it.

    I walked into Binions and they have that place all enclosed and the 'wall of fame' surrounding it, but not a soul around. I remember going in there any time 24/7 and seeing 3 or 4 tables going. Either more people playing online or everyone is broke.

    Was going to stay until tomorrow afternoon but I might spend the money and just get out of here tonight. I figured some things had probably changed but I didnt expect it to look like a whole different town....

                Pretty simple... if you gamble, stay DT.

                If you party... you go to the strip.

                  Middle-upper, middle and middle-lower classes -- or at least what's left of them -- are all broke. No discretionary income left. Cost of living continues to increase as wages remain stagnant. What do you expect?

                    Its depends on your taste I guess it's like women
                    sometimes the cheaper the wine the sweeter the
                    taste.
                    6am is a down time for sure though

                      funny you mentioned that. I saw a couoke standing right out front of Binions around 530 AM, not horrid for hookers, but nothing any normal guy woud mess with.

                      It was kind of sad I walked by and one of them was smiling and saying Hi to everyone. I ate a breakfast in the Binions diner and when I walked out and started to walk around the one that was saying hi to everyone was aimlessly walking around trying to chat up guys. There were actually a few people walking around at 6 Am or so. They just werent inside anywhere. Kind of weird.

                      so there is the first hooker review from me. I am sure I just made a few losers day....

                        You want hookers, just go to the MGM Grand.

                            Does Binions still have that cool $1/$2 no-limit poker with no cap on the buy-in?

                                  Only time you need to go Downtown is for Punk Rock Bowling. Other than that the place is a dump. Get a nice villa at the Aria and be done with it.

                                    Downtown has a lot of fun places to drink. The casinos are whatever.

                                        Agreed.
                                        Been snotted to many times at the old Union Plaza and ate too much crappy food at the Lucky 7 to remember.

                                                        You just missed out on a chance to eat at the Golden Nugget - the best casino downtown.

                                                        Cafe closed for pest infestation.
                                                        Health inspectors have closed two eating areas in the iconic Golden Nugget casino in downtown Las Vegas for numerous code violations including a pest infestation.
