Those are super cool! Found a mention of Tony Canino...apparently the assistant manager of the Silver Slipper:

The excerpt is from page 383. Here's a link to the whole publication:

http://epubs.nsla.nv.gov/statepubs/epubs/210777-1991-3Fall.pdf

"After Tony Cornero's death, Frank Schivo, Vic Silvestri, and the Canino broth- ers, Joseph and Tony, were the most prominent Italian-American entrepreneurs on the Strip. Primarily gaming managers, they also had limited ownership roles. From 1956 through the mid-1960s, Joseph and Tony Canino were manager and assistant manager, respectively, of the Silver Slipper, a small Strip casino whose dimensions were more appropriate to the downtown area.17 Like Georgetti and Guelfi, they were rumored to have had Mafia connections-in this case, in Denver, their hometown, where their father had owned and operated a casino. They weathered the familiar charge, but not the padlocking of the Silver Slipper by state Gaming Control Board agents on April 23, 1964. The discovery of five shaved dice led the agents to close the Silver Slipper, the first time the board had ever taken such action. The Canino brothers and the principal owners, Frank King and Robert Schulze, claimed ignorance, but the Gaming Commission re- voked their licenses five weeks later."

The only Eddie Fox I could find was a show producer...

"In 1961, Slipper showcased Lori Phillips, Eddie Fox presents "Nite Club Follies" as well as "Crazy Dazy Revue" starring Hank Henry/Kim Athas/Danny Jacobs/Sparkey Kaye/Russ Lewis/Mad-Caps/Red Marshall/Taffy O'Neil/The Pudgets/Stormy Wather. Also showcased were Coby Yee, Rex Castle, Danny Jacobs, Silver Slipperettes, and George Redman Orchestra. The Gay 90's Lounge showcased Charlie Teagarden & His Dixieland Jazz Band w/Jack Prince/Lori Phillips; the Barbary Coast Boys; Phyllis & Glen and The Twin Tunes.

In February, 1962, Eddie Fox stated that it was the first time in his nine years of show producing that the chorus girls received rounds of applause throughout their entire number. The show stopper was their version of The Twist."

Couldn't find anything on John C Goff...there seemed to be something in the Las Vegas Sun archives, but they're on Newspapers.com and I don't subscribe so I couldn't access it.
