Four Queens hotel casino Downtown Las Vegas, should You visit?

Four Queens Hotel and Casino is a classic downtown Las Vegas property on Fremont Street, right under the Fremont Street Experience canopy. It opened in 1966 and remains one of the more affordable, old-school options in Glitter Gulch.

History and location
Ben Goffstein developed the property and named it after his four daughters—Faith, Hope, Benita, and Michele. The casino opened June 2, 1966; the original hotel tower followed shortly after. Expansions added a second tower in 1981. TLC Casino Enterprises (Terry Caudill) has owned it since 2003; Binion’s Gambling Hall across the street is the sister property.

Address: 202 E. Fremont Street. It sits in the middle of the pedestrian Fremont Street Experience, steps from Golden Nugget, The D, and Fremont Hotel. The Strip is about 1.3 miles away.

Hotel
About 690 rooms across two towers (North recently received a $24 million gut renovation completed in 2025; South Tower rooms are also updated). Standard rooms run roughly 290–325 sq ft with king or two-queen setups. Suites include Regal, Nobel, Royal, and others with extras like wet bars or jetted tubs. Amenities typically include HD TVs, coffee makers, mini-fridges, safes, and walk-in showers. There is no resort fee.

Check-in is 4 p.m., checkout noon. Parking is $5/day in the garage for hotel guests; valet is complimentary (tip expected). Wi-Fi usually carries a daily fee. Rooms facing Fremont Street can be noisy from the canopy shows and crowds.

There is no on-site pool, gym, or spa. Guests can use the seasonal rooftop pool at Binion’s.

Casino
The gaming floor is roughly 27,000–32,000 square feet with 800–1,000+ slots and video poker machines (penny to high-limit, some liberal video poker), about 22–30 table games (blackjack, craps, roulette, Three Card Poker, Let It Ride, etc.), keno, and a William Hill sportsbook. The atmosphere is traditional downtown Vegas—more slots-focused, older crowd, cigarette smoke is common even in non-smoking rooms. The All Access Players Club is shared with Binion’s and is generally well-regarded for cash back plus comps.

Dining and bars
Hugo’s Cellar**: The standout. A long-running, romantic steakhouse downstairs with brick walls, tableside salad cart, complimentary rose for women, and classic steaks and seafood. Reservations recommended.
Magnolia’s Veranda (casual American, often 24 hours)
Chicago Brewing Company (pizza, pub food, house beers, cigars)
Patio Bar (opens onto Fremont Street)
Additional options such as tacos and coffee/snack spots

Entertainment
The Canyon Club hosts regular shows such as Mike Hammer’s comedy-magic and hypnosis acts. Outside the doors is the Fremont Street Experience: nightly Viva Vision light shows on the LED canopy, live music on street stages, and the Slotzilla zipline.

Who it’s for
Budget-conscious visitors who want a central downtown location, no resort fee, and classic Vegas casino energy rather than a modern Strip mega-resort. It is not family-oriented or amenity-rich (no pool/gym/spa on site). Reviews often praise value, location, and Hugo’s Cellar while noting dated elements in older rooms, smoke, and street noise. It is a solid pick if you plan to spend most of your time on Fremont Street rather than the Strip. Official site: fourqueens.com.
