It's Las Vegas
I love the strip. It's shiny and new, flashy and classy, reeks of money, and the "views" are spectacular.
But downtown. Downtown, and Binion's, IS Vegas. The way it was; the way it oughta be.
You don't have to like it, you don't have to venture down there. But if downtown tries to compete with the Strip; it'll lose.
Downtown has only one thing to sell ... the Old Vegas.
That's my opinion.
