Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel turnover

It has come as no surprise that the Nevada Gaming Commission has unanimously approved the license for the turnover of Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel.

The license application was from Terry Caudill, owner of the Four Queens, who is no stranger to the commission or of meeting the challenge of casino management in what was Las Vegas' once thriving downtown.

It is going to be the first time since 2004 that gaming regulators have closed the facility in the wake of mounting debt, also that a local manager will walk the floor of the casino much like Benny Binion used to do back in it's heyday. 

Terry Caudwill is prepared for a battle though, he knows that it is going to take more then a stroll around the casino or a reawakening of the Binion's legacy to turn the property around.
