Great story from the good old days, although they weren’t really that good, when you think about it. Vegas was ruled by the mob, and if you didn’t get along with them, you disappeared in Lake Mead.

Nick was a true legend of sin city. I guess we’ll have Benny Binion or Amarillo SLim next.

Also, many interesting poker players have left their marks in Vegas. Doyle Brunson being one of the latest to leave us unfortunately.
