Benny Binion 1979 Interview

Another lost piece from the former YT vaults of KLAS. This time, it’s a rare TV interview with Vegas legend Benny Binion in a segment from PM Magazine that aired on the channel.

That generation is SORELY missed.

My grandpa’s older brother shared a cell at Leavenworth with Benny for six years.

[@samiam7342]

wow, I have never heard him talk before......this is probably one of two times he ever did an interview on camera......thanks for posting!!!

[@OGecalien]

I’m a poker player by trade now. Been grooming myself for 14 years. I have a neighbor I push around in a wheelchair to gamble. He loves the machines. I have more fun watching him win than when I run really good. I understand what Mr. Binion is saying.

Man thats a badass man right there

[@hey_buddy_waz_up]

He seems like a genuinely nice guy, but at the same time, he seems like someone you do not want to fuck with.

[@portugal5698]

Yep. A *REAL* man and American at that, w/ the integrity and vibe of those like our grandfathers before us!

[@aceshott3548]

I like how this video is trying to make him seem like a harmless old man when he’s a murderer

[@trixie9867]

Benny Binion welcomes people in wheelchairs - i like that

[@danielb27]

Really tho its wonderful. Shame today's standards

[@bennycasino]

Does anyone know the song at the end?

[@norriaty]

It’s called “Kamali” by Herb Albert.

That's gorgeous open land! I prefer being around animals. Small animals. Birds. My xs mothers BF had his ear born off by a horse. I didn't see that I was told , so , who knows.

[@tommyfu9271]

Its a shame what Binions has turnes into.
The place is a ghost town now.

[@BRadgambler]

He's definitely the coolest gangster you could ever wanna know. And no, I'm not saying he was in a gang - saying he WAS a gangster, big difference...

[@nicogambino8425]

He was a murderer look up his history he's in Sheol now

[@johnmac91]

You're 100% correct. Benny Binion is known to have killed at least two people (and probably more) in Texas gang wars before coming to Vegas.
To his credit, he was known to run a good casino, but he was a mean SOB, and not a man to be messed with.

[@RagedContinuum]

he was a POS for having herbert noble (and his wife) murdered
