Budget-conscious travelers love 4 Queens for being a stalwart champion of value in a city that seems to be moving away from it.
With hotel rooms already on the low end of the price spectrum, 4 Queens doubles down by being one of the last remaining hotels without a resort fee.
This was my Royal Suite in their South Tower. Not my favorite room in Vegas, but the hotel has a loyal fan base.
In addition to being known as a bastion of value for those watching their wallets, the property remains popular.
Things To Do at 4 Queens
Play Silver Strike: Among the last 2 Las Vegas casinos that offer Silver Strike slot games (Plaza being the other), 4 Queens has the largest selection of machines.
For those unaware, Silver Strike slot games kick out a collectible Silver Strike token when the Silver Strike icon aligns with the pay line. Those tokens at 4 Queens carry either a $10 or $40 face value redeemable for cash, but I can’t bring myself to cash them in.
Grab a drink with a view: The collection of humanity that moves up and down Fremont Street is akin to a train wreck that’s difficult to look away from.
4 Queens’ Patio Bar offers guests a great opportunity to people-watch over a drink. The bar wraps around the exterior of 4 Queens, offering great views of the 3rd Street live entertainment stage.
Craft brews at reasonable prices: Chicago Brewing Company offers a lineup of craft beers and food at affordable prices. View Chicago Brewing’s full menu.
This was my recent $19.99 Southside Cheesesteak, which uniquely combines A-1 Steak Sauce into the mix. I loved it.
Grab a bite: In addition to Chicago Brewing, there are a couple of other options at 4 Queens that may interest you.
Hugo’s Cellar is among the best steakhouses in downtown Las Vegas. With an old-school vibe, Hugo’s is the perfect date-night destination, and ladies even receive a complimentary red rose.
You can expect to pay $60-$70 for a steak, which also comes with a salad prepared tableside.
Magnolia’s Veranda is a rock-solid option for those looking for a quality, no-frills meal at a good price. A hearty breakfast costs around $15, and most lunch and dinner entrees are under $20.
This is the $14.99 Queen’s Burger, which I thought was great for the price.

Wana Taco is a quick-serve concept that serves inexpensive, decent, filling tacos. This was my recent $12.99 chicken taco plate.
See a comedic magic show: Need a laugh? Check out Mike Hammer’s show, which is described as
“Comedy with an Edge”. Mike leverages his quick wit and audience engagement to keep the show fresh and legitimately hilarious throughout.
Tickets start in the mid $30s.
Things To Do Near 4 Queens
There is no shortage of activities near 4 Queens, given the resort’s location in the middle of the Fremont Street Experience.
Of course, visitors will want to check Fremont Street’s live music calendar, which details bands that’ll be performing on their 3 stages. Ensure you stick around for a few Viva Vision canopy light shows.
4 Queens doesn’t have an on-site swimming pool, although guests can access Binion’s rooftop option across the street. While the view from atop The Mint’s old tower is great, the pool isn’t anything special.
Both Golden Nugget and Circa offer an extraordinary pool scene that non-guests can access for a (typically) small cover charge. If you’re a pool person, do it.
Circa’s cover starts at $20 most days, while Golden Nugget’s tends to be $30-$40.
The Mob Museum is a couple of blocks away from 4 Queens and is jam-packed with information about the Mob and its influence on Las Vegas.
Another museum attraction, The Neon Museum offers both daytime tours and evening displays that are well worth your time.
Visiting during the day is awesome, but at dusk & at night is downright magical.
At night, check out The Neon Museum’s Jackpot! Brilliant show, which brings signs in their north gallery back to life with projection technology.
While I avoided it for years (due to a fear of heights), I finally took a rip on the SlotZilla Zipline’s upper zoomline and highly recommend the experience.
Not only is it scenic, but it isn’t all that frightening once you start flying.
