Binion's Gambling Hall & Hotel is a hotel and casino located in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada on the Fremont Street Experience. The casino is named for its founder, Benny Binion and has 366 rooms, two restaurants and a rooftop pool. It is still frequently referred to by its former name, Binion's Horseshoe, though the rights to the "Horseshoe" name are now owned by Harrah's Entertainment. TLC Enterprises, owner of the Four Queens Hotel and Casino, purchased Binions for million in March 2008.[1]

[edit] History
Note: For the history of this property prior to 2004, see Binion's Horseshoe.

A Binion's poker table signed by numerous professional poker players and WSOP ChampionsFrom Jan-March of 2004 Binion's Horseshoe was closed. It was purchased by Harrah's Entertainment who retained the brand names World Series of Poker and Horseshoe. They sold the physical property on March 11, 2004 to MTR Gaming Group, which operated the hotel. Harrah's continued to operate the casino under a temporary contract until March 11, 2005. MTR renamed the property Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel.

In July 2005 Binion's hosted the World Series of Poker (WSOP) finals for the last time. The famous poker tournament, which originated at the property, had simply outgrown the space at Binion's; additionally, Harrah's now owned the tournament and wanted to host it at one of its properties. In 2005, all events except the final three tables of the main event were played at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino. The casino still retains a large poker area and features displays on the Poker Hall of Fame as well as previous WSOP Champions.[2]

The million casino floor display, once a free tourist photo attraction, was returned the week of August 11, 2008. The original had featured ,000 bills, common in the 1950s when it had been assembled. The new display contains 2,700 0 bills, 34,400 bills and 42,000 bills.[3]

Another one from last year, I remember working on this one for hours without it ever coming out right so when I came across it recently I decided to give it another go, I used a trick I learned recently in processing (see below)

Camera: Panasonic FZ8 point and shoot
Lens: Opteka .45x wide angle conversion lens
Exposure: 1/30
Aperture: f/5
Focal Length: 28 mm
ISO: 100
Exposure bias: -2,0,+2
Processing:
-Converted the three RAW files to TIFF using RAW Therapee.
-Blended the three TIFF files using Photomatix's Exposure Fusion (adjust)
-De-noised using Topaz Denoise.
-Used Essential HDR for tonemapping.
-Used Topaz Adjust for minor exposure tweaks.

This really seems to help keep good detail without a bunch of noise typical with my point and shoot.

Easy as pie!
