I ran into longtime LV runner WAYNE a few weeks back, he hangs at the Stratosphere now, hadn't seen him in nearly 17 years, we sat and shot the shit for a good hour............................if anyone remembers "KEVIN" from the old Little Caeser's days, he has moved to Hawaii, Kevin was a good dude, along with Montana Mel, we shared many heartbreaking defeats together, coupled with a a few good win's here and there.
This forum needs a THANK YOU button. Fishhead and numerous others would have been thanked 100's of times just in this thread!
A TRULY classic thread....I'd like to spend a few weeks with some of you guys to hear the stories so I could write a book. You guys have a TON of history that REALLY needs to be passed on to a younger generation.

.........machines there padded my BR quite nicely.
The Frontier was also the very first hotel that I ever stayed at in Las Vegas, the rooms back then were very nice.
This was the first time of the many times that I witnessed the great SigFreid and Roy, poster Kyhawk received comp tickets to the show and we almost blew it off, we came out of the show in complete awe of what we had just seen and couldn't stop talking about how we almost blew the show off................to this day, that show that night was the best show I've ever experienced in Las Vegas considering all the circumstances, just unbelievably awesome.
The year was 1981
Fish and VD, the friend that made comments about Mayday's LC employees working for his marks, was Shep(whom largely did the same in running for the Lunatics). The one with the introduction to Martin, Lem, Herbie, at Celebrity Deli, was Earle the Pearl(father of singer Stacey Earle..not to be confused with Steve Earle's sister of same name and profession). The suntan lotion Franklins were via one of Tomatoes old partners. They all passed away years ago, taking so many funny stories and industry knowledge with them. Also use to laugh constantly when listening to Dickie Stevens, Artie B, Tomatoes, and Frankie 'The Monster' Masterana.
So glad that Scotty's memoirs eventually came to pass! I highly recommend his book for those that enjoy his posts.
