Hiya folks, I always take a second to do some research when cataloging my NV matchcovers. Was intrigued by this cover with an interesting play on words to come up with the business name "Gal Gusso's" after the owner Gus Gallo who, little did I know turned out to be a connected mobster in Las Vegas. He also owned "Gus Gallo's Deli - whose namesake was convicted of hiding gambling earnings" maybe earnings from the Airport Lounge (Fuller Index: 1992-2009)?!?!? Gus is mentioned in this 1990's News clip from 3News Las Vegas.
Enjoy!!
