LVA Question of the Day - 31 DEC 2009

Q: Regarding today's (12/18/09) about Binion's casino, it has
been said that Becky Behnen was largely to blame for the downfall
of Binion's Horseshoe. It is my understanding that control of the
hotel-casino was transferred to her after Ted's death. I have
read Jim McManus' Positively 5th Street and loved the book, but
lost track of the history after that. What is Becky blamed for?
Specifically, what did she do to the 'Shoe that could have been
avoided to keep it running smoothly? It would be a shame if the
Vegas icon had to shut its doors and got lost in the history of
the city.

All academic now anyway since Binion's has been owned by the 4Q's for close
to a year now. I doubt it will be shutting its doors anytime soon.
