As long as you have 50 or 55 sneak, you can get past security with any amount of "holdout" weapons. This includes most handguns, grenades, throwing knives, some unarmed and melee weapons. Leveling sneak, I haven't seen any improvement in this regard, which leads me to believe that it's nothing more than a requirement.
The best weapon I've got past casino security so far is the Mysterious Magnum (.44). Ranger Sequoia (.45-70 Gov't) didn't do the trick, and I haven't got a 12.7mm pistol yet but I'm guessing it doesn't work either.
Keep in mind there's more than one way of killing Benny. You can kill him in his sleep with Black Widow (possibly Confirmed Bachelor), you can pickpocket his ammo so he can't use his pistol, blow him up, etc.
