...imagine how Downs felt as he went out each day? He was probably armed but that doesn't matter when you're shot in the back!
With a hotel the size of the Halcyon, the high rollers could come and stay for a few days of action!
I really miss the Vegas of the '60's. That was as close as I got to knowing a few Shift Managers and the help that walked around the casinos looking for anyone who was foolish enough to try to cheat or steal!! The first Shift Manager I met was Bobby Vanucci (now President of the Riviera).
