(US).- Binion’s Horseshoe, founded after Benny Binion bought the Eldorado Club and Apache Hotel in 1951, is celebrating 60 years of business in 2011, as the casino takes steps towards remodeling and reopening its tower of hotel rooms.
For about two years, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the casino, under different ownership, has been planning renovations to its 285-room tower, which was closed in late 2009 because of poor conditions. The casino is hoping to use the us$ 35 million investment to reopen the rooms in the near future.
“[Owner Terry Caudill’s] Number 1 priority is to find a way to reopen the tower completely remodeled,” general manager Tim Lager said. “He thinks things are starting to come around.”
The casino has a long history in Las Vegas, perhaps best known for being the birthplace of the World Series of Poker. In 1970, Benny’s son Jack began hosting the WSOP, which eventually became the largest and richest set of poker tournaments in the world.
