If you are trying to place Binion's Hotel Casino on the map before you book or travel, the fixed facts are its position in Las Vegas, its documented hotel size, and a set of published straight-line distance references. What this article can do is explain those stable pieces and the mechanics that shape a stay; it does not publish live room prices, operating hours, or road mileage.
Publicly published reference sources describe Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel, commonly shortened to Binion's, at coordinates 36.17138889, -115.14444444. The same sources describe a documented hotel count of 366 rooms, an opening reference tied to 1932, and ownership by TLC Casino Enterprises. Figures like room counts and ownership describe a documented point in time and can change as properties are rebuilt, repurposed, sold, or rebranded.
Where the property sits
For a navigational query, the clearest anchor is that this venue is in Las Vegas. Its documented coordinates place it within that city, which matters more than any unsupported claim about a route, a nearby highway, or a station name.
The keyword variants “binion's hotel casino” and “binion's hotel and casino” point to the same physical venue here: Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel, also referred to as Binion's. If you are comparing maps, booking pages, or directory listings, the alias can matter because different systems may use the shorter or longer name.
Documented straight-line distances
The published mileage figures available for this venue are straight-line, also called great-circle or “as the crow flies,” distances. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel times.
| Reference point | Distance | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 0.3 miles | Straight-line |
| Henderson | 13.1 miles | Straight-line |
| Laughlin | 77.0 miles | Straight-line |
| Palm Springs | 180.1 miles | Straight-line |
| Los Angeles | 228.7 miles | Straight-line |
| LAX | 240.4 miles | Straight-line |
| Phoenix | 256.4 miles | Straight-line |
| Reno | 344.3 miles | Straight-line |
| San Francisco | 416.3 miles | Straight-line |
| Denver | 605.2 miles | Straight-line |
If your own starting point is not one of the published reference pairs, this article cannot measure that exact distance. The practical way to resolve that is to use the venue's documented coordinates in your own map tool and compare the result there, keeping in mind that any drivable route will be longer than the straight-line figures shown above.
Documented scale and ownership
For the lodging side of the property, the published figure available here is 366 rooms. That tells you there is a hotel component of meaningful size, but it does not answer current inventory questions such as which towers, room categories, or amenities are being sold on a given date.
The documented opening reference is 1932, and the documented owner is TLC Casino Enterprises. For a reader planning a stay, those facts are mainly useful as identifiers: they help confirm you are looking at the right property and remind you that ownership and branding are business facts that can change over time.
How hotel pricing works without quoting a room rate
Because room prices are live commercial data, a useful article should explain what drives the final bill rather than freeze a number that may be outdated by the time you read it. At a casino hotel, the total can move because of calendar timing, room category, booking channel, and whether mandatory charges are bundled or shown separately.
Weekday versus weekend demand can change the base rate. So can event periods, special dates, and the amount of lead time between booking and arrival. A public rate seen months out is not the same thing as a same-week booking, and neither is the same as a member-only offer or a package that bundles extras into one headline price.
Room type and tower matter because the bill is often built from a base room category first and then adjusted upward for a different layout, a different bed configuration, a different view, or a different part of the property. Even when two listings appear close in headline price, the final total can diverge if one includes fees inside the shown amount and the other adds them later in checkout.
| Variable | How it can affect the final bill |
|---|---|
| Weekday or weekend | Changes demand and can move the base room rate up or down. |
| Event dates or peak periods | Higher demand can change both availability and the advertised rate structure. |
| Room category or tower | A different room class, layout, view, or building can carry a different base price. |
| Advance booking window | Earlier or later booking can produce a different publicly offered rate. |
| Resort fee shown separately or bundled | A charge may appear outside the base rate, changing the final checkout total. |
| Tax treatment | Taxes may be added after the headline room price rather than included in it. |
| Member rate versus public rate | A venue's own member pricing may differ from the rate shown to non-members. |
| Third-party versus direct channel | The booking channel can affect change rules, cancellation terms, and loyalty credit treatment. |
Direct booking channels and third-party channels
When you compare prices, the useful distinction is not only the amount shown but also the type of channel. A venue's own booking channel may present public rates, member rates, package rates, and any property-specific terms in one place. A third-party travel seller may show a different headline amount but attach different cancellation rules, prepayment terms, or loyalty consequences.
That matters because a lower-looking listing is not always the lower final bill once separate fees, tax presentation, and amendment rules are visible. It also matters if you care about the venue's own loyalty tracking, since third-party reservations often have different treatment from bookings made directly through the property.
Check-in and checkout details worth confirming
Before arrival, confirm the parts of the stay that most often cause friction at the desk. That usually means identification requirements, minimum age rules for the room reservation, whether an authorization hold or deposit is taken at check-in, and what happens if you arrive before a room is ready.
If you expect to store bags before check-in or after checkout, confirm that with the property's current guest services information. It is also sensible to check whether parking terms change after checkout, because the lodging portion of a stay and the post-checkout period may not be treated the same way.
How comping works
Comping is best understood as a pricing mechanism, not as free travel. A comped room is funded from a casino's estimate of theoretical loss: a projection of expected player loss built from factors such as average wager, time in action, and the house advantage of the games involved.
That is why offers differ from one person to another and from one period to another. Some are generated automatically through a loyalty system, some are based on earned play history over time, and some are discretionary offers extended by a host reviewing a player's value to the property.
It is important to read comps in economic terms. If someone increases gambling activity mainly to chase a room, the expected cost of that extra play is higher than the value of the room being pursued, because the offer is being priced out of projected loss rather than gifted without cost.
You may also see different forms of comping language: tier structures, mailed or emailed offers, and host-issued arrangements. Those are different delivery methods for the same underlying logic. The thresholds, formulas, and timing are property-specific and change, so the reliable place to check any current offer is the property's own account, offer center, or host communication channel.
What to confirm before you go
The changeable items are the ones that should be checked close to travel date. For lodging, that means the current room total, whether any resort-fee-style charge appears separately, the tax presentation, cancellation and modification terms, and whether the reservation is direct or through a third party.
For arrival, confirm current check-in and checkout policy details, identification and age requirements, any incidental authorization hold, baggage storage availability, and how parking is handled before check-in and after checkout. For casino-related offers, confirm the exact wording in your own account or communication rather than relying on general descriptions of how comping works.
FAQ
Is Binion's Hotel Casino the same place as Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel?
In this article, yes. The documented venue is Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel, and the shorter alias Binion's is also published. Readers will often see the property referred to as “Binion's hotel casino” or “Binion's hotel and casino” in search queries and travel listings, so matching the alias helps confirm you are looking at the same physical venue.
How far is Binion's from Los Angeles?
The published figure available here is 228.7 miles in a straight line from Los Angeles to the venue. That is not a road distance. Driving mileage will be longer, and this article does not estimate road routes or travel time. For a trip plan, compare the venue's documented coordinates with your own mapping tool and use that service's live routing.
Can I judge whether a comped room is a good deal by the word “free”?
Not by the label alone. A comp is normally funded from projected theoretical loss, which means it is tied to expected gambling value to the property. The important comparison is not “free versus paid,” but whether the expected cost of the play associated with that offer exceeds the lodging value. As a rule, chasing comps through extra play is costly in expectation.
