Binion’s Has Been Sold
One of the original Mecca’s of Poker … Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel … has been sold to “TLC Casino Enterprises Inc.” for $32 Million in cash.
That’s right. Cash.
I don’t know about you, but I am going to be hanging outside of Binion’s today, looking for someone carrying a large briefcase. I’m going to grab that thing and run like hell. If I grab the right case, I will finally be able to see a concert at The Pearl.
Anyway … MTR Gaming Group (the current owners of Binion’s) say that they plan to get out of Vegas, and focus on their core properties in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. That’s right. I said West Virginia.
Apparently the “Fuck Your Sister Gamblin’ Hall & Hotel” is really taking off. And I hear that the comped moonshine is second to none.
The “good” news is that all of the employees at Binion’s will be retained.
Not even TLC Casino Enterprises is heartless enough to fire 78 year old cocktail waitresses.
