Larger-than-life bronze statue of a mounted Benny Binion, driving force behind the National Finals Rodeo coming to Las Vegas.

Binion was a Texan who moved to Las Vegas in the 1950's and for years ran the Horseshoe Club, later named Binion's Horseshoe, in downtown Las Vegas.


The statue was on display in downtown Las Vegas for many years, before being removed and stored. It was moved to the South Point in 2007 and appropriately enough, stands at the entrance to the Equestrian Center.
