Way to go Charles! Good Luck in the WSOP! I am N.V.ous! I stayed at Bally's before but it has been several years ago... I do not remember the room but I do remember that the night before we went, I broke my ankle and had to use a wheelchair that weekend. I was going to stay home but the guys insisted and the flight and the rooms were all paid in advance. "We will push you around in the wheelchair... come on!" they said but they soon got tired of pushing me around and on Saturday Night they hit the strip and I stayed behind to hit the Black Jack tables at Bally's. As I recall, I was on pain pills, the carpet was very thick, the bathrooms were half way down a ramp with the Poker Room at the bottom. I was drinking a lot of beer and I made several trips down that ramp and back to the Black Jack tables but eventually as the night went by, I could not wheel myself back up that ramp on that carpet anymore. I can remember making several attempts to get back up that ramp without success finally giving up, turning that wheelchair around and coasting down into the Poker Room ending up at an open seat at a table and asked, "What's the game?" Dealer said Stud do you want in? And the game was on. I played UP & DOWN for a while and I was thinking about leaving when a new player joined the table... Red Foxx sat down right next to me at the table and joined in the action. I do not remember the year but it was in the 80s and Red had just been through the ringer with the IRS and was also in the middle of the divorce process as I recall. The waitress came by and asked, "Your usual Red?" with Mr. Foxx responding with, "Whatchu talkin' 'bout? I never been here before in my life!" followed by some grumbling under his breath. She smiled and left the table and returned a short while later with a bottle of Chevis & a glass and after Mr. Foxx was poored a glass from the bottle... she placed it under his chair. Now several people at the table made attempts at "small talk" with Red but Red was out to intimidate with some very clever talk and after a short while, he was collecting the antes at will. By that time I was AWAY too toasted to be intimidated and Red & I went several times to Show Down and each time that I won he would say, "I hope your dog dies!" It went on for hours and I will never forget the trip and playing poker with Red Foxx at Bally's.
