Hotel Apache, hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
Hotel Apache is a historic hotel on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, opened in 1932. It has 81 rooms decorated in a vintage style and is directly connected to Binion's Gambling Hall next door.
The hotel was opened in 1932 by the Silvagni family, initially to house workers building the Hoover Dam. Benny Binion bought it around 1951, and it became one of the main gathering points for early poker in the city.
The name Apache refers to the Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest, who lived across this region long before the city existed. Inside, original fixtures and fittings from the 1930s give a sense of what downtown Las Vegas looked and felt like in its earliest years.
The hotel sits directly on Fremont Street, within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and the SlotZilla Zipline. There are no resort fees, which makes it a straightforward option for staying in the heart of downtown.
The building was the first in Las Vegas to install an electric elevator, which was a novelty that drew many visitors when it opened. Room 400, a former penthouse from the 1930s, can now be booked for guided ghost hunting sessions that come with dedicated equipment.
