Due to Gene's fine research that finally named your mystery man, I came across another tidbit about Thomas. The obit Gene showed mentioned he owned part of the Desert Inn, but being a Cleveland guy, he also had points in the Stardust. Hard to imagine huh?

From the appendix in the 1963 book "The Green Felt Jungle":

Licensed Casino Owners and their percentages as of April 1, 1962:

Desert Inn (Wilbur Clark's)

Thomas J. McGinty 142 Seaspray, West Palm Beach, Fla. 7.10%

Stardust Hotel

Thomas J. McGinty 3593 Washington Blvd., Cleveland Heights, Ohio 4.50%

There are some great old names in these ownership listings!
