Question of the Day — 22 Sep 2013

Recently watched a TV program called "Cheating Las Vegas". One person featured was a slot cheat named Dennis Nikrasch who stole $10 million and perhaps $16 million from Vegas slots in the '70s and '80s. He was caught, spent 7 1/2 years in prison, was released in 2004 and died in 2010. However, there was never any mention of what happened to all that money. Do you know if he spent it all, if some of it was recovered or what may have happened to it?

PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO A DATABASE GLITCH AT THIS END, TWO POTENTIAL QODS WERE TAGGED WITH THE SAME DATE, BUT THE ONE ABOUT DENNIS NIKRASCH IS NOT SCHEDULED TO RUN UNTIL LATER IN THE WEEK AND WANT WAS POSTED LIVE TODAY WAS JUST SOME UNEDITED RESEARCH NOTES. OOPS!

THE VENETIAN/PALAZZO QOD THAT SHOULD HAVE RUN, WE ARE MOVING TO MONDAY; YOU CAN CATCH UP ON DENNIS LATER IN THE WEEK, WHEN HE'LL BE READY TO RECEIVE VISITORS :-)

Previous QoD

In a recent QoD you stated, 'If the current writer hadn't worked many years ago on a documentary series for TLC about magic and magicians (which, as an aside, included the first instance ever of Teller actually speaking on camera) [...]' and I'm curious: Was this earlier than Teller's speaking role in the HBO film Long Gone, in 1987?

Tomorrow's QoD

Will Shen Yun Performing Arts appear in Las Vegas this year?
