Bally's, the new home for the World Series of Poker (WSOP) starting this coming summer, will undergo renovations and a complete rebranding.
The old-school Las Vegas Strip resort, as of the spring, will become the Horseshoe, a national brand of casinos that WSOP historians and Vegas tourists might recognize.
History of Bally's
On December 4, 1973, the original MGM Grand was built on the central part of the Strip, across the street from Caesars Palace. Seven years later, the then-modern property experienced one of the worst fires the city had even seen.
