Back when Binion’s Gambling Hall was Binion’s Horseshoe, world-renowned poker players would flock to the casino for the epic World Series of Poker.

The Fremont Street staple went through some hard times and the World Series relocated to the Rio, but new owner TLC Casino Enterprises is investing in Binion’s history and hoping to bring back the glory days of “good food, good whiskey, good gamble.”

One renovation sure to win over hardcore gamblers is Binion’s new poker room, complete with 10 tables, tableside food service and, of course, flowing whiskey. Two full-service bars border the room, and the walls are covered with photos of Binion’s past (as well as plasma televisions for a contemporary vibe).

“There’s a certain prestige associated with Binion’s poker, but the main reason poker players stay loyal to Binion’s is that we’re always moving forward with their wants in mind,” Glenn Casale, director of casino operations for Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel, told Gaming Today.

Located across from the $1 million display, the poker room draws action every hour of every day, with $2 comps per hour of live poker play and a $3 maximum rake on live games. Poker players can expect some of the best deals in town, including special room rates. Just like the old days.
