Mike and I have been Qing and Kween (the klassie spelling) of many hotels in the past. Those hotels were easily 'bbreviated, while Binion's just doesn't seem to have a natural 'bbreviation. "The Bin'" just doesn't feel right, nor does "the 'ion's". And it's not Binion's Horseshoe anymore, so "the 'shoe" is out. So what are we to call our Qingdom this time?
Previous Qingdoms: The Strat', The Fiiiitz, The 'dust (yeah, we're old skool), and the Club.
I'll be realistic here with my request based on who I think actually reads this. Shooter, whattaya got? If anyone else reads this blog, feel free to weigh in! I kind of need a name by the end of the weekend so I can decorate our crowns with puff paint.

the 'nyuuun, obviously
hahahaha, nice!
The 'Shoe became just Binion's in 2004. But it's official name is Binion's Gambling Hall and Casino. So it could be "the Hall"... but that's pretty tame.
I like the 'nyun. Though 'bbreviation convention could allow for "the Bin'n".
My bachelor party was at the New Frontier Hotel and Casino, even though no one called it that at the time, we insisted on using the old name, because it had "new" in it.
As far as I'm concerned using the old name is klassy as long as you're consistent. Planet Hollywood = Aladdin, Bally's = MGM Grand, MGM Grand = the Marina. You get the idea.
