BINION'S GAMBLING HALL Las Vegas Walking Tour

Binion's Gambling Hall, located on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, is a legendary casino with deep roots in the city's history. Opened in 1951 by Benny Binion, it was originally called Binion's Horseshoe and quickly became famous for its welcoming atmosphere, high betting limits, and no-nonsense approach to hospitality. Benny Binion’s focus on customer service and fairness set a new standard for Las Vegas casinos.

Binion's is also renowned as the birthplace of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), which began in 1970 and grew into one of the most prestigious poker tournaments in the world. The casino’s famous $1 million display, featuring real cash stacked in a glass case, became a popular tourist attraction.

While ownership and management have changed over the years, Binion's retains its classic Vegas charm. Its intimate casino floor, historic poker room, and vintage decor make it a nostalgic destination that pays homage to Las Vegas' golden era.
