Sylvester Stallone Teams Up With 'Yellowstone' Star For Vegas-Set Drama

Sylvester Stallone is set to executive produce an upcoming drama about Benny Binion, the man credited with "building the foundation of modern Vegas gambling". Yellowstone star Cole Hauser will play the lead role (via Deadline).

The series will be adapted from Doug J. Swanson's book "Blood Aces: The Wide Ride of Benny Binion, the Texas Gangster Who Created Vegas Poker". The book was published in 2014 and details Binion's rise from a violent gangster in Fort Worth to the entrepreneur who redefined the Las Vegas circuit.
