Notable Vegas Deaths

Don't know if there was a thread for Obits of notable/notorius/or just way familiar people in Vegas, but in case not, might as well start one.


Kenny Kerr (female impersonator)

Quote:

The star of “Boy-lesque” was the Strip’s first must-see female impersonator, pulling a locals-heavy audience into a tiny casino called the Silver Slipper for 11 years with his deadpan stare, cutthroat wit and killer gowns.

The dealers who turned up in the desert in the early seventies during a chip switch scandal.
The guy who put a half million on the line at Binions and then blew his brains out after losing it.
The guy who died of a heart attack at the heart attack grill.
The med student who died of an ecstasy overdose at Electronic Rage Whatever.
The guy who planked himself at the Venetian and unplanked himself on the way down.
Any entertainer who packed audiences in while being white skinned, blond haired, blue eyed, right-handed and heterosexual.
