Farewell, Old Friend...
Binion's Horseshoe Casino closed its doors on Saturday morning. Owner Becky Binion Behnen agreed to close the legendary casino after failing to raise enough money to convince Nevada gaming regulators that she can continue to make payroll. The news this morning is that Harrah's Entertainment has reached an agreement in principle to buy the Horseshoe for an undisclosed amount that is rumored to be on the order of $50 million.
This is a sad development, indeed. Faithful readers will recall that, in one man's humble opinion, the Horseshoe dealt the best craps game around. One recoils in horror to imagine the sort of "improvements" that Harrah's will bring to the venerable, old property. I guess some things are just too good to last.
