that you had the pleasure of knowing all those wonderful people, and having all those great experiences.

Your mom was a beautiful lady, and I've heard nothing but nice things about Bruce and, of course, Greg...but I never had the pleasure of meeting any of them

I played at the Castaways a few times, but was more familiar with the Stardust...but only visited one or two times a year. I was able to visit the Landmark one time; loved the Horseshoe...ate often in the coffee shop (loved it! ), but never in the deli. Used to go to the Sands every visit...picked up several coffee cups, and really enjoyed wiggling my toes in the lush grass that they had !!

I'm grateful that I visited Las Vegas a few times in the 1980's...and got a taste of Vegas the way it used to be . Sometimes I wonder...20 or 30 or 40 years from now, will 2010 be part of "the good ol' days"...??

Thanks for the post, Andy, I enjoyed reading it.
