The place that made poker famous is rumoured to be a potential sale, but the owners are still not reaching out.
Vinion in downtown Las Vegas has been the subject of buying and selling speculation for months, and recent comments from the chief executive of the West Virginia company that owns the historic casino have added fuel to rumors.
But so far, no one at Edson Arnault and MTR Gaming Group's headquarters, W.Va. Chester, has declined to detail plans for a struggling casino that has raised poker's profile worldwide, raking in millions of dollars.
That prompted 850 employees, investors and downtown enthusiasts to wonder about the future of one of Las Vegas' most successful and infamous casinos at one point.
"I've heard rumors since I've been here. And companies have shown interest in the property," said Bill Robinson, Vinion's chief operating officer since May 2006. "No one in the company has talked to me about this."
