Biographical History
The history of Binion's Horseshoe begins with legendary Las Vegas personality Benny Binion. Born in Texas in 1904, Lester Benjamin "Benny" Binion was already a seasoned gambler when he arrived in Las Vegas in 1946, accompanied by his wife Teddy Jane and their five children. After building an earlier casino and enjoying partial ownership of the Las Vegas Club, Binion purchased the Eldorado Club on Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas in 1951 and renamed it the Horseshoe Club. Here he began to establish a lifelong reputation as a casino operator who provided his customers with unmatched hospitality, from his instantly famous high-limit tables and inexpensive, quality meals to the first fully-carpeted casino.
