I think the key to the Four Queens is staying in the South Tower and asking for a room away from the Freemont Experience noise.
I have been comfortable doing that, but I can't speak for the rooms on the North Tower.
The Binions pool is not fancy, but it was fine when I was last there. It is really not much different to walk a short distance across the street, as it is to take long trips to find the pool in larger hotels. If you like helicopters there is one time of day when they fill the sky, sunset.
A half priced ticket place is located right there in the Four Queens, so if you get bored see what is cheap that day.
The RatPack show at the Plaza is good.

Live poker at the Golden Nugget will get you ten dollars off the buffet for four hours of play, and you can enter in the VIP section and avoid the buffet line.
I think they are still having morning tournaments.
Playing late at night, just ask for the voucher to be dated the next day.
There is a coupon in the American Casino Guide that will get you ten dollars extra on your buy in. Also, unlike the strip casino coupons, downtown coupons in this guide will support a nice matchplay run with freeplay at the El Cortez. Downtown easily makes the book pay for itself.
Main Street Station has guides to its antiques. Ask at the desk. A good daytime activity.
While you are there, running $1000 or so dollars through any of the full pay video poker can get you a free buffet with no reduction in points. Just ask at the Player's club. This is a good buffet.
Sam's Town at Boulder offer a free shuttle from California out to Sam's Town on the Boulder Strip.

You can get a 2 for 1 buffet there as well.
The new SDX bus just steps away makes it easy to escape and play other places during the dull daytime hours. Avoid the Deuce as it is reported overcrowded and slower than ever.
If you bring a computer, free wifi can be had not far away at Krispy Kreme and you can sit outside. But bring a mouse pad or something to use as one as the tables have a metal grid.
Another source is a new unique coffee house called TheBeat which is on Freemont just shy of the El Cortez. Wifi with the sound of old vinyl records. Or just coffee with that sound and maybe breakfast or a sandwich.
Here is a pretty upbeat view of downtown that might give you some ideas

Not certain when this opens, but keep an eye peeled for another non gambling diversion up near the El Cortez
