Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel (World Series of Poker history)

Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel on Fremont Street was home to the original World Series of Poker, which began there in 1970 and was held at Binion’s for many years before relocating. Photographs and archival footage from Binion’s WSOP events, the casino floor, and its famed money vault have been reused in sports- and gambling-related memes and retrospective social-media posts about poker culture. The casino’s historic role in poker history and its visual trademarks make it a frequent source of meme-ready imagery related to gambling and Las Vegas lore. Binion’s continues to draw visitors who photograph its interior and exterior for online sharing.
