Does VMware Workstation v6.5.1 have a 64-bit binary?

I know that VMware v6.5.1 supports 64-bit guest operating systems but does VMware itself have a 64-bit binary or only 32-bit?

Also, does it work fine in Vista x64?

Yes, VMware Workstation 6.5.1 runs great on Vista x64 SP1.

On Vista x64 Host, the VMware Workstation GUI application is 32-bit, but if you start up a VM you'll notice the vmware-vmx.exe process is 64-bit.
