Scotty here is a Leroy's classic,Pancho every time you walked in the door he would put the squezze on you for a couple of bucks for a horsebet I remember once David Hasslehoff came in there to bet a fight and Pancho hit him up for a couple of bucks true story

I hate to admit it but I lived at the Casbah for a year.

Remember the bronze elephant out front?

That place was owned by one of the meanest lady I've ever known. She ultimately changed the name to Anne Meyer's Queen Of Hearts.

I assume it still stands today?

I swear to the gambling gods I caught crabs at the Casba one night. Took a week to get rid of them.

I have no doubts. The place was loaded with hookers.

 

[mvbski]

wil,and what were you doing at the casba

 

[wilheim]

Speaking of sandwiches, are good were the pastrami sandwiches at the little counter in between the race and sports book at the Horsehoe? (corn beef also).

wil.

 

[mvbski]

not only were there sandwiches great but they had the best mazta ball soup and dr browns soda

 

[wilheim]

Thats right Dr. Browns root bear I loved that stuff, the soup also. You could always get a comp slip from the race book managers.



wil.

 

[mvbski]

I was a supervisor in the racebook for almost ten years I proabably gave you one

who did you get them from remember there names ?

 

[wilheim]

Not really, long time ago, but I ran house Q's for the late Lefty N. and several other horse players back in the 80's.

I knew Katherine. Were you the other supervisor always working when she was? If so, I'm guessing you're in your 50's?

 

[wilheim]

Was she manager of the Race book? If so I knew her. I remember a tallish thin guy who was good to me. I also remember a player named Henry, I think he was an accountant or lawyer, not a bad horse player. We were always playing little Johnnys stuff.

wil.

 

[mvbski]

[mvbski]

Oh, ok. I remember he smoked alot lol, but I could always get a comp. Seemed like a nice guy.

I do vaguely remember a younger guy taking over at night but I can't picture a face.

 

[sportsadvisory]

I used to play the horses during the day at The Horseshoe and at night I'd go to either The Fremont or Union Plaza.
