In today's column from Mike Weatherford, he discusses the various casino closings that Rick Thomas has witnessed over the years.
Rick Thomas isn't superstitious. And he doesn't want you going around thinking he is a curse to vintage-Vegas casinos. (snip)
Nice try, Rick. We won't be distracted by your historical sleight-of-hand. This is the magician who left a solid afternoon berth at the Tropicana in 2005 because he feared it would close (these fears admittedly were grounded by management's unwillingness to offer him more than a month-to-month contract).
So he went to the Stardust, which closed instead.
