Things to know about Binion's and Hotel Apache:
#1 They have the best steak house I have ever been to on the top floor of the Casino overlooking Las Vegas. The experience is one of a kind
#2 They have a round bar on the second floor that rotates out over Fremont Street. It's a must do.
#3 Hotel Apache is one of the oldest buildings in Las Vegas and is Haunted. It's very nice too.
#4 The cafe downstairs has the best and most affordable breakfast and lunch in Vegas. Two for one with the hotel registration coupon book
