Binion's Gambling Hall & Hotel, iconic among poker players for its unmatched legacy in the game today, opens a brand-new poker room to build on its tradition and history as the place that made poker famous. Binion's new poker room features 10 tables in a contemporary setting designed to make players feel right at home while experiencing excellent service and some of the best deals in the game, including a $3.00 rake on all no limit games, $2 comps per hour of live poker play, tableside food service, and special room rates.
The new Binion's poker room combines the nostalgia of the renowned Binion's heritage with the modern direction of the game. Historic photos are spaced around the room with eleven 42 and 50-inch plasma televisions for player viewing and entertainment. The Binion's Gallery of Champions and Poker Hall of Fame are located in the upscale concierge area, where available games are presented on electronic boards. The new room is flanked by two full-service bars featuring cocktails and video poker.

(LAS VEGAS, AUGUST 4th)

From Koval & Tropicana I ask the lady behind the convenience store
counter whether to keep straight or turn left to walk to the airport,
whose Welcome To sign is visible across the street. "Walk!?" she
replies. Isn't it about a two minute cab ride? It will probably cost
$20 or less, she tells me. In this town where anything goes, I find it
likely she has never heard that one before.

As I type this, seated upon a rock shaded from the setting sun, tiny
red ants are making their way up my leg. Move on. No rest, they seem
to tell me.

I arrive at the baggage scale adjacent to the Westjet check-in at
7:35pm and learn that I have made this 4 hr portage, from Fremont &
Las Vegas Blvd, carrying nearly 40 additional lbs. Never doing THAT
again.
