Shortly after I moved to Las Vegas, in 2001, I played quite a bit of video poker there on their $1 10/7 Double Bonus game. In the case of the Four Queens, I stayed there a few times about 15 to 20 years ago, long before I moved to Las Vegas. Additionally, I worry about being given special treatment based on old play.

Normally I don't like to review casinos where I have some history, for fear of not being able to be unbiased. I stayed at the Four Queens November 12-13, 2009.

In my opinion, the Four Queens is the second most fancy casino downtown, second to the Golden Nugget next door. It occupies an entire city block between Fremont, Carson, Casino Center, and 3rd Streets. The Four Queens is centrally located on the south-east corner of Fremont Street and Casino Center Drive. Currently, the property is owned by TLC Enterprises, who also own Binion's across the street. On the contrary, the casino is named after the four daughters of the casino builder, Ben Goffstein.

For years I assumed it was named after the four queens in a deck of cards. The Four Queens opened in downtown Las Vegas in 1966.
