Quicksilver: The Ted Binion Murder Case

photographs by Jeff Scheid, text by John L. Smith

     The September 17, 1998, death of high-living casino man Ted Binion (ne’er-do-well son of infamous casino owner Benny Binion) swept across Las Vegas like a late-summer storm. The facts of the case were played out like so much sensational thunder and lightning in the national media.

     In words and pictures (250 photographs), this is the true tale of a fast fortune that, like the quicksilver of the title, was impossible to hold and, ultimately, poisonous to touch.
