Binion's will be hosting STBE '09!!!


After some famous Sugar Twin wheeling and dealing, we've secured the lowest rates yet! Based on 4 people per room, Ginger's Super Cheap VIP Suite will cost only $8 per person! TOTAL! Including taxes and fees!

Mike's Cheap VIP Suite
will cost $19.50 per person (again, based on 4 people per room). The previous record low for an STBE hotel was $28 per person (total) after invoking vegas.com's low price guarantee...which is what happened here.

Once I booked and invoked the guarantee and vegas.com realized they had to pay me $110 back, they lowered their rates (within hours of my booking and invoking, a $55 difference shrunk to a $12.50 difference). Mike still booked at a super cheap rate (less than $20 per person for 3 nights? That is ridiculous!), so jump on it and get yourself a spot in one of the suites!

Oh, I guess you want information about Binion's Gambling Hall in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada! Let me pull some bullet points from the interweb and put them up here for you along with some guest reviews.

You'll notice on the STBE linkies page, I posted a list of places where free WiFi is available, so we should plan on being able to blog on this trip!
