I just learned about Las Vegas musician Joe Vento.

In December 2017, he was in the hospital during his 100th birthday.

I didn't see any more recent news, which is concerning. Has anyone seen/heard him perform?

Also, at first I thought The Royal Resort was the old Debbie Reynolds Hollywood Hotel-Casino and Movie Museum, but it's one block over. The Debbie Reynolds Hotel is now an empty lot.

He made a Great Cheesesteak and was an incredible American. Sadly he died in 2011, but Geno’s lives on Philly.

Apparently the Royal Resort was never much interested in public relations or publicity. I called them years ago to ask about Joe Vento, and an employee only said he no longer performs there.

Today, Scott Roeben reported that the Royal Resort Closes and Nobody Notices.
