  • Two 24-hour-a-day breakfast specials are available at Binion’s coffee shop for $5.95. One includes ham and hash browns; the other, pancakes. But wait: from 6 to 11am the club’s snack bar sells scrambled eggs, sausage, and gravy for $2.75.

  • Six light and sound shows, Heartbeat of a Planet , Las Vegas Legends , Dancing in the Street , Odyssey , Kickin’ Country , and Classic Rock appear overhead on the hour until midnight in the arcade. There are street performers and live music on mobile stages, too.

  • All-beef frankfurters piled high with sauerkraut are served from a vendor cart in the casino’s sports book (the lounge where people bet on sporting events). The hotdogs cost 75 cents.

  • Golden Gate Shrimp Cocktails

    For years, fresh shrimp cocktails have been the loss leader at the Golden Gate – they have sold 35 million so far. The cost: $1.

  • Many programs of marching bands, bluegrass and zydeco groups, country and western singers, and jazz quartets are free.

  • The penny slot machines of the early casinos have disappeared from all but a few places such as the Four Queens – you’re more likely to spend 45 or even 90 cents with every pull.

  • Connoisseurs swear that the 99-cent margaritas, with just the right amount of salt rimming the chilled glass, are as good as any you can find elsewhere at many times the price.

  • Sport Club Hall of Fame

    This free hotel-lobby museum includes bats swung by top baseball players and aerial views of major stadiums.

  • From 11pm to 7am Binion’s coffee shop serves a full New York steak dinner for $4.99. The line of diners begins forming at 10:15pm.

  • The downtown trolley makes a regular circuit of Fremont, Ogden, and Steward streets daily from 9:30am–1am. The fare is just $1.50 for adults.
