Switching Bruce's...
Bruce Dern bets sports at The Mirage (or at least he use to when Jimmy was there)
Comedian and LV local Pat Cooper loves the horses........
Red Foxx was the all time greatest Keno player
I sat with him a couple of times while killing time at a 1-5 poker game at the old MGM.
$1-5 poker and over $100 a game on keno
Vic Tayback (whose since passed away) liked to shoot dice. I played with him at the Riv.
He was the star on the tv show Alice. You remember the owner/cook.
I watched Kirby Puckett play that horse racing game at the Stardust for an hour one night
Craig Sager of CNN/WTBS is/was a dice shooter.
Because I have a background in the media, I'd had some contact with Craig over the years.
So one day at the Hilton after a big fight, I saw Craig shooting craps.
I went over and greeted him and joined the game.
Nothing much was happening until Craig got the dice.
He proceed to make the point 8 times in a row....
Now we're cooking right? 8 passes!!!
Wrong
He pulled all of his chips off the table because he had a plane to catch.
A PLANE...
YIKES!!!
I'm begging him to continue but nope he just left the game.
So guess who was standing to his left and got handed the dice?
Well, it didn't take me long to 7-out and kill the hand
