This bolo tie is made with a vintage Binion’s Horseshoe Club $1 poker chip.
Benny Binion opened the Horseshoe on Fremont Street in 1951, and it quickly earned a reputation as the casino for serious gamblers. Binion was famous for taking big bets that other houses wouldn’t, with table limits that drew high-stakes players from all over the country. The casino’s most famous attraction was its Million Dollar Display, a glass case holding one hundred $10,000 bills, where visitors lined up to have their photo taken.
The Horseshoe is also the birthplace of the World Series of Poker. Binion hosted the first tournament there in 1970, and the event grew from a small gathering of hand-picked players into the biggest poker championship in the world.
The Horseshoe name changed hands in the 2000s, and the World Series moved to a new home in 2005, which makes an original Horseshoe chip a real piece of Vegas history.
