Yellowstone Spinoff “Blood Aces” Trailer Is SO GOOD!**
Fans of the modern western phenomenon Yellowstone have a new reason to get excited: Blood Aces, a gritty new series that trades the open range for the neon-lit streets of Las Vegas. The show promises to deliver all the tension, power struggles, and raw ambition that made Yellowstone a hit—this time, through the lens of legendary gambling kingpin Benny Binion.
Blood Aces stands out immediately for its setting. Instead of cattle and ranches, the drama unfolds in the smoky backrooms and bustling casinos of mid-20th-century Vegas.

The story follows Benny Binion, a man whose vision and ruthlessness helped shape Las Vegas into the gambling mecca it is today. Based on Doug J. Swanson’s acclaimed book, the series traces Binion’s journey from small-time Texas hustler to the architect of a criminal empire.
What has fans buzzing is the powerhouse team behind the project. Cole Hauser, best known as Rip from Yellowstone, not only stars as Binion but also serves as a producer. He’s joined by none other than Sylvester Stallone, who brings his own brand of tough-guy gravitas after leading the hit show Tulsa King.
Both have worked closely with Taylor Sheridan, the creative force behind Yellowstone, and while Sheridan isn’t officially attached, his influence is palpable. The chemistry between Hauser and Stallone, even behind the scenes, promises to infuse Blood Aces with the same intensity and authenticity that defines the Sheridan universe.
The show’s narrative is as compelling as its cast. Blood Aces doesn’t shy away from the darker side of Binion’s rise. The story begins in Texas, where a young Benny navigates the world of underground gambling and horse trading, learning the ropes in the Dallas underworld. His ascent is marked by risk-taking, violence, and shrewd alliances—qualities that make him both a hero and a villain, depending on who’s telling the story.

As Binion arrives in Las Vegas, the stakes escalate. The city is still finding its identity, and Benny’s brand of outlaw entrepreneurship helps set the tone for decades to come. The show explores his rivalries, dangerous deals, and the personal costs of his relentless pursuit of power. It’s a classic American tale of ambition, vision, and deep flaws—a character study that doesn’t sugarcoat its subject.
Hauser, who plays Binion, has described him as a complex figure, full of contradictions. “He’s got ambition, vision, and a lot of flaws. We’re not trying to make him look good—we’re just telling his story,” Hauser explained. Stallone, for his part, has praised the project as a perfect fit for Hauser’s talents and hinted that he himself may appear on screen, even if only in a cameo.
Authenticity is a major focus for the production. With real-life gambling consultants on board, the series aims to capture the pulse of vintage Vegas—the high stakes, the danger, and the seduction of the casino world. If the creative team gets this right, Blood Aces could set a new standard for gambling dramas.

While there’s no official release date yet, the anticipation is real. Both Hauser and Stallone have busy schedules—Hauser is also involved in a new Yellowstone spinoff, and Stallone is working on Tulsa King’s fourth season—so filming may not start until mid-2027. But for fans of westerns, crime dramas, and American history, Blood Aces looks well worth the wait.
