To offer headline acts in an area that was far from the Silver Circuit of casinos offering them, Jacobson gave Don Adams, Don Rickles, Woody Allen and Buddy Hackett a piece of the business.
He promised big time musical attractions – Sarah Vaughan, B.B. King, Frank Sinatra, Jr. (People went out of their way to hear Frank Jr.? Really?) On opening night in 1969 comedian Buddy Hackett appeared n*u*d*e on stage! (Correction: a former employee at Kings Castle says this happened in 1970)
