Friday wasn't a good night gambling-wise for Texas billionaire Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, but he put that aside to help officially introduce the all-new Horseshoe Las Vegas (formerly Bally's), the site of the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Mattress Mack, who owns the Gallery Furniture retail chain, sat next to poker legend Doyle Brunson and Jack Binion, former owner of Binion's Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas, the original WSOP home.
Binion, whose father Benny Binion created the WSOP in 1970, spoke to reporters at a cocktail reception from inside his iconic Jack Binion's Steakhouse brand restaurant, a staple at Horseshoe casinos around the country.
