My brother and I stayed three nights, then we played the horses strong, and won many credits and decided to redeem the next day when we checked out. Well, that morning they closed the Sands, race book closed, unable to get 200.00 of our free stuff. We were bummed out. I knew the race book mgr. (forgot his name) but he went to other LV casinos he sent me a lot of free offers, I talked to him on many trips, and he gave me many comps. Don't play the horses any more. Wish I picked up some chips back then. Rich, keep the stories coming I love them. Also, I went to your store in the Trop., didn't know you owned. Kay and I had our honey moon in LV stayed at the Trop. 1960 we saw Ann Margaret. Over the years we went 3-4 times a years, saw all the great performers in the lounge and main show rooms., just wish I was a collector in the 60',70' & 80's. I regret I didn't use a camera like you, in those years. So many great stories from our trips to LV and 45 years in a row to Lake Tahoe, with our large family kids, grandkids and great grandkids.
