Is Hotel Apache Worth It? Honest Review, Rooms & Rates

Opened in 1932, Hotel Apache is a true Las Vegas landmark, set above the legendary Binion's Gambling Hall on Fremont Street. Once owned by gambling pioneer Benny Binion, it hosted stars like Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart, and today it leans hard into its history — and its reputation as one of downtown's most haunted buildings.

Restored and reopened in 2019 with just 81 rooms, it carries a 1930s theme down to the vintage radio, making it catnip for history lovers and fans of shows like Ghost Hunters. It's a no-frills boutique rather than a resort, but with a prime downtown location — and parking that's waived for Binion's players-card holders — it's a characterful budget stay, from around $43 a night.

The practical picture: there is no resort fee — almost unheard of in Las Vegas — and self-parking in Binion's garages is $5 a night, waived if you show the free All Access players card at the front desk. In the warmer months guests also get a seasonal rooftop pool on the 25th floor with views across the valley. The trade-off is noise: the hotel sits directly on the Fremont Street Experience, and canopy concerts carry into the early hours, so light sleepers should ask for a room away from Fremont Street. The Strip is about four miles away — the Deuce bus runs there 24/7 from Fremont Street — and with no airport shuttle, plan on a taxi or rideshare from Harry Reid International.

Insider tipBooking a room? The Premium Room's only real upgrade over the Standard is a mini-fridge — the vintage Bluetooth clock radio, in-room safe and USB charging ports are identical in both — so there's little reason to pay more unless you specifically want in-room cold storage.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hotel Apache really haunted?

It has carried that reputation for decades. Guests and staff have reported unexplained happenings going back to the Benny Binion era, and the hotel leans into the legend rather than downplaying it — it's a favorite with fans of shows like Ghost Hunters. Nothing paranormal is documented, but the original 1932 building and 1930s-themed rooms, right down to a vintage clock radio, make the stories part of the appeal.

Does Hotel Apache charge a resort fee?

No — and that's genuinely rare in Las Vegas, where a resort fee can rival the room rate itself. Because there's no daily add-on, the advertised rate (from $43 a night) stays close to what you actually pay. The one thing to budget for is a refundable $100 card hold the front desk places for incidentals at check-in — a deposit you get back, not a fee.

How do I avoid paying for parking at Hotel Apache?

Grab Binion's free All Access players card — signing up takes a couple of minutes at the desk — and show it at the front desk, and the $5-a-night self-parking fee is waived completely. Without the card, guests pay $5 a day, settled at check-out, in Binion's two Casino Center garages — the same garages where non-guests pay hourly rates.

How far is Hotel Apache from the Las Vegas Strip?

About four miles. The hotel is downtown on the Fremont Street Experience, not on the Strip, so getting there means a ride: the Deuce bus runs between Fremont Street and the length of the Strip 24 hours a day, or you can grab a rideshare. There's no hotel shuttle from Harry Reid International either, so plan on a taxi or rideshare from the airport as well.

What's the story behind Hotel Apache?

It opened in 1932 as one of downtown's original hotels and was later owned by gambling pioneer Benny Binion, drawing stars like Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart in its heyday. It sat largely dormant for years before a full restoration reopened it in 2019 with just 81 rooms, all styled to the 1930s — the reason it doubles as both a budget stay and a living piece of old-Vegas history.
