Documents in this series include press releases and press kits, which announce the tournament and key players; proceedings, including buy-in rosters, event schedules, participation lists, and handwritten notes that document the day-by-day results of play; player's brochures, with finished designs as well as raw materials for these brochures; newspaper and magazine clippings; and display ads in both draft and finished form. Most years do not contain all different types of materials, while some years document specialty events such as the women's tournament, live telecast, or sports charity events.

Material documents various advertising efforts and promotional schemes undertaken by Binion's Horseshoe in the late 1970s and early 1980s. One promotional event is the famous Las Vegas Mint 400 Race, an off-road race held annually in the Mojave Desert several miles outside of Las Vegas. The race was instituted in 1967 by Mint owner Del Webb and the Binions took it over after they purchased the Mint in 1988. Other events documented include a daredevil motorcycle event called Super Jump II, and a 1984 poker challenge gimmick against a computer designed by an early programmer named Mike Caro. There are also general casino advertising materials and budgets, as well as published writings on poker and press releases on poker activities and personalities.
