FOUR QUEENS CASINO

 

The Four Queens started off in 1966 as a 120-room hotel and casino named for the owner's four daughters. Now it fills a city block with two 19-story towers. However, during the course of the casino's growth and modernization, it never lost that "Old Vegas" ambiance. The small but uncluttered lobby  is decorated by tiny white lights, mirrors and chandeliers. There is supposedly a New Orleans theme in the casino, but you'd have to look closely to find it. Not that we're complaining; the Four Queens is elegantly decorated and there are too many  New Orleans/Mardi Gras themed casinos anyway. 

    The clientele at the Four Queens generally tends to be over fifty. They are probably attracted by the atmosphere and lack of garish designs. The casino also hosts numerous slot, craps and blackjack tournaments. Additionally, the casino runs a big poker tournament every January and September that is a lot of fun. If you like big slots, you'll love the Four Queens. They have the biggest slot machine in the world. It's over nine feet tall and almost twenty feet wide! That's a big slot machine. Apparently bigger is better (bettor?) at the Four Queens because they also have the largest blackjack table in the world. (It seats twelve people)  

    The rooms at the Four Queens are nice and comfortable, but are decorated in a fairly generic style. Try to get a room in the North Tower, it might offer a better view of  the Fremont Street Experience ( See attractions).  The mini suites have a living room, dining area, dressing area and double sink bathrooms.
