...down back in 1980. A very good friend of mine was the cage manager. He called me just after gaming left & said to come down. We ended up playing poker using Big Al's chips for quite a few hours. And of course drinking Big Al's booze at the same time. I did not feel the least bit bad about that, considering that Big Al had closed down the Nevada Palace, where I was dealing poker, a few months before that. None of us ever did get our last paychecks.

The reason Big Al's was closed down, was because someone hit big on the craps table & there was not nearly enough in the cage to pay him off. Andy - Las Vegas
