just as an addition to Dynastys post...I just got back from vegas/wsop a few days ago, and actually stayed in the old down town, for a chance to play at binions, the birthplace of the wsop, night in and night out.
I was so wholeheartedly dissapointed. With the sale of the WSOP to Harrahs, it really seems as though Binions, not the horshoe(they stress that point very hard when your playing there), has truly lost allot of its glamor. The large horseshoe has been removed from the side of the casino and replaced with...wait..nothing!? There is a huge hole in the side of the casino with wires hanging out. The inside is still old fashioned and has feeling about it that is truly hard to describe. You know what has happened here and the history of it, but there is just something wrong. All of the logos are removed, the place is a mess and unorganized, and the poker room was simply empty.
I went to play poker in one of, of not the, most famous poker rooms in the world, and the highest limit i could play?? 4-8!? or 1-2 NL?...I actually got to play 2-5NL for about an hour before that broke, and it took us 2 hours to get that game started. PLayed one of their late night tournemnts and came in 4th out of 65-70 people with rebuys(60 buyin w/ optional addon that everyone took) and made 300 dollars?? Myself and the others calculated the money and found well over 1000 dollars completly unaccounted for(yes thats after their %).
I was just dissapointed all around. The place still had some of its lore, but just seemed like a graveyard compared to the images of plast WSOPs burnt into my memory,(88', 81' 97' 77'78' and i guess even 2003'?) it really was sad. I would think that someone would realize that this is truly a las vegas landmark, and she be kept in its original state and preserved for people to visit in the future, and see where the game truly began.
