Crime Story was a late 70s tv show that was originally set in Chicago but relocated to Las Vegas
I thought this was a Kool jacket, but the front makes it a unique bit of Vegas history.

Which is probably why hundreds, if not thousands, passed it by without giving it a second glance. Stupak is a bit of a personal hero. He's been described as a 20th-century PT Barnum, and his obituary called him the rare dreamer who actually achieved his dreams.

After two years in the US Army, he moved to Australia, with less than $500 in his pocket, and seven years later was able to buy a plot of land that he turned into a casino in Las Vegas. When it burned down, he convinced bankers to lend him almost all the money needed to build Vegas World.
He was a race car driver, World Champion poker player, and so much more

In the early 1990's I met Stupak when he was at his peak. Quite an arrogant and sleazy piece of work.

I can't imagine rising to the heights he did without being arrogant and aggressive.. When everyone tells you can't do something, and you do it anyway, that is arrogance.
Many people can get rich by giving people what they want.

I did that deal 8n 1991. It was fun. The slots you could play with their special were terrible though.

Several of my friends took advantage of that deal and were pretty happy. I forget the details, but there was a time share presentation you could attend that seemed EV optimistic.
