Binion's Casino Removes Controversial No Colour Sign After Twitter Backlash

Binion's Casino, located downtown in Las Vegas, has removed a sign that warned members of motorcycle clubs about its no colour policy. The sign was put up recently, following a briefing from police about biker gangs active in the area. The message conveyed that the casino had a no colour policy in place, but the sign was forgotten to be taken down in the following days.

The sign ultimately gained unexpected attention on Twitter, garnering 165,000 views from people who were confused about the meaning of such wording. The term colours refers to emblems or badges on a biker's vest that symbolise their club affiliation, which could trigger a negative reaction from a rival member and cause trouble.

Casinos routinely receive intelligence from the department about pending visits from biker groups, including for events such as the annual Las Vegas Bikefest. Officer Bob Wicks clarified that the Las Vegas police department does not have anything to do with the sign as far as the casino's private policy is concerned.
