Ghost Adventures 18.5 "Binion's Hotel and Casino" Review

More Las Vegas mob history tied to casinos, is there any other kind.  This one concentrated on investigating the hotels, The Apache and the tower above Binion's, which have been closed to the public since 2009.  Being the first to investigate here aside from one other paranormal investigator, Brian, who explained how he saw part of an apparition, as did his wife and son.  Although he only saw the legs of it. 
How the hotels were closed off and so there's so much energy waiting to get out and loose.  Another one surrounded by negativity with staff being attacked in the kitchen which isn't used anymore and being followed home.  As well as the TV turning on in one of the rooms, when the general manager spoke of taking the cabinet home as his wife may like it.  Oh and Zak got to keep that TV for the Haunted Museum.

Their investigation was divided as Zak, Dakota and Billy took The Apache and Aaron and Jay investigated the 25 story tower from 1965.  It did appear to be like breaking a crime scene tape, not only as there had been a murder here in the past where a member of the Binion family was killed, but also since no one's been in there for years.  But they didn't investigate the kitchen where the music played, or did they?  That would've been a good place to spend some time.  The music sounded like the sort they'd play at casinos, and that screaming sounded a bit like someone trying to sing!  Really it does, and it doesn't sound English either.  A little like a chant.  Oh and then there's Zak's wild hair!! ha.

Zak et al find the light turned on in a room, which Dakota noticed and it was the heat lamp in the bathroom, which required the knob to be turned on and didn't turn on by itself.  "Jackie" came through on the Ovilus, was that a man or a woman spirit.  On the static detector there's a light anomaly and it went off quite a lot reading static energy.  They get a "yeah" on the digital recorder.  That could've been Jackie.  Zak and Dakota are affected by transient energy and feel like they were run up on!  Zak uses the Polaroid camera again.  Zak takes a photo of what he calls "ghost legs".  As seen by Brian. There seems to be a figure at the end, although it's not clear what that is.  (See blue circle.)  But then it may not as we didn't get to see the two photos together close-up.  Then a kind of face towards the right of the blue circle on the wall.


Arriving at the 'Secret room' where the money was counted (and hear Zak comment on how Binion may also have skimmed some too! ha). Billy uses the Geophone and 'phone' comes through on the Ovilus.  Zak using the Intercom Device and a male voice tells them to "get out of the room."  Which to me sounds like "get on the roof!"  Well they were on the roof earlier on! What, if anything happened on the roof??

Aaron and Jay hear a noise in one of the rooms and someone stepped on the bed where the Bible lay.  A voice comes through on the spirit box saying "radio."  "Speak to me" comes through on the spirit box and a stick SLS figure is detected next to Aaron (for a change, it's usually Billy who gets them) and there was some weird movements going on with it too!  It was in the air it seemed, also it could have been the one on the bed. 

They set up an experiment using the TV as they did early on in the prison ep Old Idaho Penitentiary.

Also the Exit sign has the black tape ripped from it and the light can be seen.  This is similar to what happened in the Kings Tavern ep, when the blackout covering was ripped from one of the windows.
Great to investigate such an historic location, but somehow I just wasn't into this one.  The equipment seems to be regressing back into normal stuff now, at least some of it, instead of something where we can see anything visible rather than flashing lights.  That was going old school.  My friend has been to Binion's, so it seems it's just the hotel that is haunted, as she didn't have any encounters.
