E-505: Come Box

Random Vegas Most people know the story about Sands boss Carl Cohen knocking two of Frank Sinatra’s teeth out after one of his legendary temper tantrums.  But did you know that a similar situation happened at Caesars Palace?  Sinatra wanted credit to play $16k a hand at baccarat but the casino limit was $2k and he was already being allowed to play at $8k a hand.  When he was told no, Frank of course got angry and made a scene that included some threats.  In response, the hotel’s executive vice president pulled a gun on Sinatra.  He was later booked for assault with a deadly weapon but charges were later dismissed.  That man’s name was Sandford Waterman.  Sinatra didn’t finish the rest of his engagement at the property but eventually returned and apologized. TwitPic of the week Thank you 1968 for existing and for the photographer that captured this view, shared by@Summacorp, of the Stardust marquee in all her massive glory. This sign is one of the most iconic in Vegas history and thankfully was saved by the Neon Museum. Here’s to hoping they reignite her in 2027 when the museum will relocate to the Arts district.
