In March 2004, Harrah's Entertainment purchased Binion's Horseshoe. Harrah's Entertainment sold Binion's Horseshoe on March 11, 2004 to MTR Gaming Group. Harrah's retained the rights to the Horseshoe brand and the World Series of Poker when it sold the casino and hotel, but sold the Binion's brand. The land the casino sits on is still leased from multiple owners.
Binion's reopened in April 2004, with MTR Gaming operating the hotel and Harrah's Entertainment operating the casino, while MTR Gaming completed the process of acquiring the required gaming license. Harrah's continued to operate the casino under a temporary contract with MTR Gaming until March 11, 2005.
MTR Gaming remodeled both the casino and hotel after the purchase. A notable feature of the remodelling was to replace the casino's worn carpet with surplus carpeting that Benny Binion had stored since initially carpeting the casino.
On March 11, 2005, MTR Gaming Group officially took control of the operation of the casino and renamed it Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel.

Harrah's bought Binions for a very short time, i.e., year, to get control of the Binion's name for the poker tournaments, then sold it.

I don't know but you can search online for Binion's they shut down for a short period. They weren't paying their employees their wages. Not a good sign for players if the employees aren't getting paid.
