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.
