That is the stage that has the ribbons the girls climb and usually does just DJ and karaoke.
Live band karaoke sounds really fun!!. I would like to see that but don't think that I can make it on Sun.
Are they going to do it on a regular basis?

At the moment they are contracted for every Sunday through the end of the month as a test run.

I don't think I would be happy if I went downtown and there was karaoke going on.

Obviously.

You have not been to Binions in the past 2 months or so.

There is no more self validation. You either eat there (any dining establishment will validate) or you play there and take your ticket to Club Binions where they will validate at least 10 points accumulated (about $20 of slot play for instance) and only then will they validate.

Otherwise parking is either $1.50 or $2 an hour. I don't know since I will never park or play there again since they started doing this.

If I ever return to Fremont St it will be only to use any free slot play I get in the mail. For instance I get free slot play at Golden Gate regularly. My wife will drop me off at the front door and will drive around the block a time or 2 until I am ready for pick up.
