Personally, I think Binion's will survive with, or without, their hotel.

I stayed downtown for 4 nights, a couple of weeks ago..in order, the busiest seemed to me:

1. The Golden Nugget
2. The D
3. Four Queens
4. Binion's
5. The Fremont
6. The Plaza
7. The Main Street
8. The Golden Gate
9. The Californian
10. The Vegas Club

Didn't get to the El Co, this trip..just one man's opinion..
