Binion's
Gambling Hall & Hotel
 |

Rich in history,
and located on Fremont Street in Downtown Las
Vegas since 1951, Binion's was first named The
Horseshoe, and was renowned for their high limit
games. Soon Binion's would take the lead in Las
Vegas offering high stake poker games in their
Casino.
They held their first World Series of Poker
in 1970, and it was a winner-take-all challenge,
open to anyone with $10,000 to buy-in. Today
the prize money is split among those that make
it to the Final Table, and first prize was a
staggering $7,500,000 last year.
Binion's is again an innovator with their latest
great poker tournament event, the American
Poker Player Championship™
You can bet your last dollar this is going to
become another tradition in Las Vegas. |
