Named not for a poker hand but for the four daughters of its original owner, the Four Queens has been a fixture on the downtown scene since 1966. In recent years it has prospered along with the three better-known neighbors with which it shares Fremont Street's busiest intersection, adding two nineteen-story hotel towers and sprucing up its lobby away from its old New Orleans theme in favor of matching the sparkling lights of the Golden Nugget .
The one unusual feature of the Four Queens is that it's one of the very few casinos in Las Vegas (along with Excalibur ) that allows you to take photographs in its gaming area. If you've been dying to take snaps of gamblers in action, this is the place to do it; just be sure to check with security personnel before you start.
