1981 Benny Binion’s Family Stagecoach Replica

Benny Binion was a Las Vegas institution with his “Binion’s Horseshoe Casino” and development of the “World Series of Poker”.

(On a personal note, I have no idea how to play poker despite living in Reno for four-years when I attended the University of Nevada. A part of me feels like a failure for not taking advantage of gambling opportunities but then again I was a broke college student and a lot of my budget went towards extra curricular activities that usually ended with hangovers.)

The stagecoach was used to promote Binion’s casino and he used it until his passing in 1985. It has also made appearances at the National Finals Rodeos from 1983-1984 and 2000-2004.
