(It isn’t just the resorts that change names.) That’s when the Horseshoe name was carved out and mothballed locally, and Binion’s Horseshoe, which only existed because Benny Binion renamed the Eldorado Club and Hotel Apache in his honor, became known simply as Binion’s. That switch will be possible because the current Bally’s, which had been the MGM Grand - not to be confused with the current MGM Grand, parts of which used to be The Marina - is being renamed The Horseshoe.Ĭaesars Entertainment owns the current Bally’s as well as the Horseshoe name, which it acquired when it bought Binion’s Horseshoe back when Caesars Entertainment was known as Harrah’s Entertainment. Elsewhere on the Strip, Bally’s Corp., which somehow doesn’t own Bally’s and never did (that was the unrelated Bally Manufacturing), is in the process of acquiring the Tropicana, which it’s expected to call Bally’s.
