On September 17, 1998, the body of Ted Binion was discovered at his Las Vegas home. His cause of death was of an overdose. However, after the Binion family hired a private investigator, evidence emerged that pointed to murder. — Ted’s father, Benny Binion arrived in Las Vegas in 1946 with his wife Teddy, their five children and an alleged $1 million in cash stashed in the trunk of his car (I have also read that it was $2 million in a suitcase).
