I am told Tony left this world trying to make a 9 at the crap table in the DI.
The new casino he was building, The Stardust, was in deep trouble as he had oversold the stock by 3 times to some guys with 3 vowels on the end of their names. My source tells me the heart attack at the DI saved him a lot of pain.
Moe Dalitz stepped in and finished the Stardust. Tonys son was the casino mgr not long after it opened. Go figure.
I have a lot of information on Tony from a number of old timers I have interviewed. Someday I will write the story that is not in the link above.
Time - there is never enough time!!
