.........a 9 A.M. breakfast today at the Tropicana with Dr. Allan Myers. We sat down to eat at 9:15 & did not get up until 4 1/2 hours later. We had a VERY enjoyable talk about The Chip Rack, new & old Casinos & everything in between! After that we spent another 2 1/2 hours touring Steve Cutler's Casino Legends Hall of Fame. We talked to Steve & Rene (who is now working with Steve) before & after our tour. Allan had not seen the Hall of Fame since it has been at the Tropicana & it has been a few months since I was last there. It is a MUST see for anyone making the trip out to the Convention. Give yourself at LEAST a full hour to take it all in. I also found an item I have been hoping to locate for the last 3 years.......An ashtray from Marty's Carousel! The only other known ashtray's are in Paul Gregory & Janice O'Neal's collection. There might be more out there, but I have never seen any others. It was also the only one Steve had ever seen & needless to say I bought it on the spot. I'll be scanning it later tonight & have it on the "Marty's Carousel" page of my Web site. Andy - Las Vegas
