My uncle worked as a bodyguard for Benny when he returned from Vietnam...he spent the last 20 years of his life playing in the poker room with Johnny Moss and other legends

What was his name, I probably knew him?

My Dad worked Night Maintenance there in the 1950’s, he got sent to collect the money from the Candy Machines, etc. this was normally a two man job. My Dad brought back every Penny (they never saw that much before) the two guys DISAPPEARED! He asked my Dad IF He wanted the Job? No Thank You! My Dad also cleaned the Horseshoe containing the One Million dollars! The Owner asked him which he would rather have, the Money in the Horseshoe or the Safe? My Dad said the Safe! Hd said yeah there’s more in there 1.5 or so, then they didn’t keep as much!

There was a reason the stairwell in Binions Parking Garage was painted Blood Red.

Just as easy to cheat now as it was back then. The detections has gotten better but so are the cheating devices.
