Yes, Becky Behnen, when she took over Binion's Horseshoe more than a decade ago, sold off the hundred $10,000 bills in the original million-dollar display.
The new owner of Binion's, Terry Caudill (who also owns the Four Queens across Fremont Street), has put up a new display of a million dollars. It's displayed in an acrylic pyramid atop a poker table in the center of the casino and consists of $270,000 in $100 bills, $688,000 in $20 bills, and $42,000 in $1 bills. The cash is viewable from 10 am to 10 pm daily; during off hours it’s locked under a stainless-steel shell.
A Binion’s spokesman said that restoring the original display of one-hundred $10,000 bills would have cost $16 million or more (recently, one of the original $10,000 bills was selling on the eBay for $160,000).
