I've never been to Vegas except just last month and I wanted to go see Binions since I heard poker started there.
It was an older dark room with older ****tail waitresseses. The pit bosses were nice enough. I was going to leave and they were doing their darnedest to be nice so that I wouldn't leave because all the tables weren't being used. But the ones that were open were full and the room didn't inspire me to wait. I kind of like a brighter lit poker room. I tell you though, I think the pit boss I was talking to had a little too much to drink...either that or he was just a very "loud happy" guy.
I stayed in the end and the players around me were friendly. You didn't feel too overwhelmed by some shark trying to squeeze out every last chip out of you.
