It may not be the most well known casino in Las Vegas, much due to the fact that it does not have a fancy named hotel attached to it but that doesn’t mean that visitors should miss out on visiting the Binion Gambling Hall and Hotel. What it does offer visitors is a look back to when casinos first started becoming really popular in the Las Vegas area. Opened in 1951, this casino was one of the first to offer the best odds, great service and excitement. In fact, Binions was the first to introduce a real gambling hall to the community where high rollers came to play the high stakes. And it was here, in this very casino where the Word Series of Poker was born when owner Benny Binion and 10 of his friends got together for a friendly game. Today the casino remains a true part of Fremont Street and offers some real excitement and chill in this glittering city. Although no longer owned by Benny Binion, you can still expect the same level of friendliness and service here.
