BINION’S GAMBLING HALL & HOTEL IS SET TO UNVEIL ITS NEW & IMPROVED MILLION DOLLAR DISPLAY
Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel is proud to unveil its new Million Dollar Display at 128 Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV, in the center of Fremont Street Experience. The famous tourist attraction will officially open to the public Friday, June 16, 2023 at 10 AM and we encourage all to come and take a free souvenir photo. Unlike previous displays where you had to wait to get your photo printed, this process is totally automated and you can choose to send your photo to your e-mail address or to your mobile device.
Another new addition to the Million Dollar Display area will be a video that will run continuously on a 50-inch TV, showing exactly how the money was stacked into the plexiglass pyramid display case. The video shows the cage employees stacking the money and then methodically placing the bills in the case. It shows the display moving with armed guards through the casino and eventually placed on the table inside the Million Dollar Display area. Guests can see first-hand that the case truly holds one million dollars.
The breakdown of bills in the display case is as follows: $42,000 in $1 bills, $688,000 in $20 bills and $270,000 in $100 bills totaling exactly $1,000,000. Another interesting fact, the display case weighs a total of 356 pounds: 174 pounds of U.S currency and 182 pounds of plexiglass.
The history of the Million Dollar Display goes back to 1954. The original display was in the shape of a horseshoe and held one hundred $10,000 bills. When Terry Caudill, president and owner of TLC Gaming Enterprises, purchased Binion’s, one of the first things he did was bring back the Million Dollar Display, but transformed it into a pyramid of $1 million placed on a poker table for everyone to enjoy. Unfortunately, due to the 2020 pandemic, the display was taken off the floor again. Now it is 2023, and it’s back and better than ever! The new display features a new backdrop, so it looks like you are on Fremont Street, standing in front of Binion’s, holding $1 million. The display is located on the casino floor next to the ALL ACCESS Players Club. Guests 21-years and older are welcome to take their FREE photo. The Million Dollar Display is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

About Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel
Binion’s has been making Las Vegas history since 1951 when Texas gambler, Benny Binion, bought the property at 128 Fremont Street and was the first to install carpet in the casino and transportation for his guests. Benny was passionate about giving players excitement, good odds and friendly service, or as he would say – Good Food. Good Whiskey. Good Gamble.
Though downtown Las Vegas has evolved since the days of Benny Binion, Benny’s enthusiasm still remains at the historic casino and has been picked up by the current owner and president, Terry Caudill, who purchased the property in March 2008. Binion’s has since gone through several improvements and new additions, including Whiskey Licker Up Saloon, located on the 2nd floor, with the only rotating bar overlooking Fremont Street, offering delicious food from their scratch kitchen.
