Jim,
I would love to meet you, and hear about old downtown Las Vegas. Unfortunately, we are not able to attend the convention.

Can you honestly say that, if our positions were reversed, you would change your mind and say...
Harvey Fuller is wrong, The Chip Rack is wrong, the matchbook is wrong, the postcards are wrong, the print by Bill Barber is wrong, and the article in the CCTN is wrong??

"By all means, continue to believe what you wish."
Jim, I'm not believing what I wish...I'm believing what I SEE (postcards, matchbook, a print), which is backed up by the resources that are available to me. (Fuller's Index, The Gaming Table, CCTN)

"I have never found ANY concrete evidence of an Apache Casino located in downtown Las Vegas." What would you consider concrete evidence? Not that I could provide it, but I'm curious.

"I could easily discredit each one of your "evidence" sources but what would it accomplish?" What it would accomplish is to set the record straight. Everything I've seen points to an Apache Casino. You're saying you didn't find proof that there was, therefore there wasn't. As far as I'm concerned, I have proof that there Was.

If I had any idea which Perry Mason book to look in, I would....to see if there's a reference to an Apache Casino. Then again, if you don't believe Harvey Fuller, I guess you wouldn't believe Erle Stanley Gardner, either.

I guess we'll have to disagree on this one!

Respectfully,
Pam
