About Binion's Gambling Hall

Benny Binion opened Binion's Horseshoe on Fremont Street in 1951, and his son Jack started the World Series of Poker there in 1970. Since 2008 it has been owned by TLC Casino Enterprises, which also runs the Four Queens across the street. The casino offers table games, slots, video poker and a sports book, and the Million Dollar Display of cash is back on the floor. Top of Binion's Steakhouse and the 81-room Hotel Apache, opened in 2019, are part of the property, and Nevada law bars anyone under 21 from gaming.
