This is an interesting one! Introductory notes:

Going section by section:
Two people were arrested and convicted of his murder. In all, a total of six people were arrested for going into Binion's safe and taking silver from his property.This is a little awkward, and makes it difficult to tell at a glance whether that six is inclusive of the two murderers. Something like "an additional four were arrested for going into his safe", then seguing into how all six were charged with theft?
Binion had to move his silver out of the casino-- because he sold it? Was this to keep it secret from her, or as a general condition of the sale, or just personally? Or was there some other reason?
The investigative journalist Cathy Scott wrote a book titled, Death in the Desert: The Ted Binion Homicide Case-- this should be restructured. Something like "Cathy Scott, an investigative journalist who wrote Death in the Desert: The Ted Binion Homicide Case, reported in an interview...".
More to come. Vaticidal prophet 08:49, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
he was known to smoke tar heroin and take pills-- does the source specify particular substances? A lot of things come in pill form.
The Gaming commissionShould this be "Gaming Commission" (guessing so) or "gaming commission"?
The license ban was permanent, and Ted Binion made plans to move his silver from the casino vaults [...] After the loss of his gaming license, Binion had to move his silver out of the casinois repetitive -- only the latter is needed, IMO, because it directly sets the tone for the new paragraph.
Authorities determined that he had died from a lethal cocktail of drugs, including Xanax, heroin, and a tranquilizer-- the source says he took heroin and the tranquilizer Xanax, rather than both and an unspecified third tranquilizer.
Both his ex-wife and his drug dealer stated he exclusively smoked heroin and did not take it orally.Bruxton ( talk) 15:06, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
He and three others were arrested at 3am.Just for an abundance of clarity, 3am the same day?
Ted Binion's estate also said that an unknown number of double eagle $20 gold pieces, a collection of antique coins and currency from the Civil War era-- sentence ends early.
That should be all. I've made various copyedits throughout to avoid a slew of minor prose comments. This is a fascinating read, though there are still some queries regarding sourcing and content. I hope to promote it once those are resolved. Vaticidal prophet 03:06, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
