Nice new $1 chip. I wasn't familiar with Kenny, so I did what everyone's doing these days -- asked Google.

Kenny Epstein is the owner, chairman and CEO of the El Cortez.

Born in 1941 in Chicago. Moved to LV in 1959 with his family (father was a Stardust executive). Spent his career in the LV casino industry. Bought the El Cortez from Jackie Gaughan in 2007. Often walks the floor at El Cortez greeting guests... there's more, but you get the idea.

My kind of old-school owner.
