Willie Mays R.I.P.

Posted by on Jun 22, 2024 in Blog | 0 comments

 

 

Earlier today, journalist Howard Stutz posted photos and told an interesting story about meeting Willie Mays while he was the head of PR for Bally’s. That triggered a memory of my own of having met Mays back around 1997 in Atlantic City. I found this autograph in a box out in the garage. Mays signed the press package for the “grand reopening” of Bally’s Grand in Atlantic City, which I attended.

Real “Fake News”

Now, this is fake news.

Perhaps you saw the despicable widely-distributed bullshit video and photos that allegedly showed President Joe Biden wandering off aimlessly at an outdoor event, staring off into space, waving at apparently no one. The garbage photos and video purports to prove Biden is “out of it” mentally.

Come to find out THEY CROPPED THE VIDEO! They LIED.

Then and Now: “The Gambler” 1974 vs. 2024 (Caesars Palace Las Vegas)

THEN AND NOW:
MOVIE: “THE GAMBLER” (1974)
CAESARS PALACE LAS VEGAS

On the 50th anniversary of the release of The Gambler, I walked through the iconic circular casino pit at Caesars Palace late last night, where the ecstatic crescendo of Axel Freed’s gambling “high” takes place.
