I remember a few years back eating the $3.95 graveyard steak dinner (which Becky, demonstating fine business acumen, raised price on and then ended for a while) spoke to employees about her stewardship of casino---and then a bit surprised when waiter, and others working there, unloaded about how bad the place had gotten and the low morale.
surprised it took this long to close.

an RJ story Dec 31 reported Becky shopping around the rights to WSOP. Story does mention brother Jack Binion selling his three Horseshoe Casino riverboats to Harrah's for $1.45 billion. He started them in the 1994 and it is a privately held company. Got some of the old man's business sense!..............
