Level of Description
Scope and Contents
The Poker Hall of Fame was established in 1979 by the Binions to honor great poker players past and present. The first Hall of Fame inductees included five famous players and two contributors; every year thereafter one player was chosen for induction, many of them World Series regulars. Around 1986, Binion began hosting a championship game called the Poker Hall of Fame Classic in which the best players from diverse categories came together to play in celebration of the game.
The materials consist of press releases on the honorees, newspaper clippings and proceedings of the tournament, a few Hall of Fame certificates, and miscellaneous writings.

Description
Mark Hall-Patton, administrator of Clark County Museums and since 2008 a frequent guest on the popular cable television show Pawn Stars, was born in 1954 in San Diego, California. His mother was a registered nurse and his father served in the United States Navy. From early childhood, Mark’s interest in history and museums shaped his path in life. After graduating high school in Santa Ana, California, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in history at nearby University of California, Irvine. Degree in hand, Mark worked for Bowers Museum in Santa Ana and founded the Anaheim Museum in 1984. He moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1993 to create the Howard W. Cannon Aviation Museum in McCarran International Airport. By 2008, Mark had become administrator over all Clark County museums. In this interview, he explains the various ways his involvement with the popular Pawn Stars program has turned “the museum guy” into a brand, introduced production companies to the value of filming in Las Vegas, increased Clark County museum visits and donations, and raised popular awareness of the academic fields of history and museum studies.
