Jimmy Hoffa Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 The Ballys across from the Bellagio has been owned by Caesars for a long time, they recently rebranded it to the Horseshoe. Caesars bought the Horseshoe name and World Series of Poker from the Binion family. Binions downtown isn't owned by the Binion family. In reality VICI owns them all, the properties are all leased. The Ballys company bought the Tropicana across from the MGM, in reality it's owned by GLPI. Confusing much?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confusing much?? my favorite story at that ballys was eating at sbarro about 20 yrs ago, and stumbling upon a blackjack machine that was spitting out $3 for every $2 win, whether it was blackjack or not... think i emptied about $300-400 out of it before the change light came on and i ran away with the buckets lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
