Binion's Gambling Hall (Horseshoe/Benny Binion)

Binion's Gambling Hall in downtown Las Vegas was owned by Benny Binion, who founded the World Series of Poker there in 1970. The property served as the longtime home of the WSOP through the early 2000s before the event moved to the Strip. Binion's downtown location and reputation for high-stakes cash games made it a central site in Las Vegas gambling history.
