Would be cool if I did - but I don't! So I cannot count him!


My wife thinks we've seen a lot of "celebrities" but we just don't know who they are. Late one night at the Mirage I was buying some candy at the sundry store. There was a commotion just outside the store with throng of people around some guy taking pictures and asking for autographs. I have no idea who it was. Maybe it was Anthony.
Played craps at Tahoe with Arte of Lauhin.(many yaers ago)

Have seen a number of sports figures in Vegas.

Saw Anthony at a blackjack tournament at the old Hilton.

Sat by Bob Bennet (former Sec ED now talk show host on an airplane.

Have seen a number of enertainers sitting in 1ST class on airplanes.

I mostly appreciated the entertainers who came to Vietnam to visit the troops. Ricardo Montelban (Rich cordobian leather car ad and Fantasey Island) I watched everything he was in after that. (Now deceased) A number of country singers there.

Many politicians on airplanes.

Have seen a number of sportscasters in Las Vegas.

Most recently in Fort Worth, saw Peter Noonan of Hermans Hermits in the Stockyards area.






The first time I was ever in Vegas, I saw the most celebrities. It was 1969, and I had won a contest selling mutual funds and the company chartered a plane for a Thursday-Sunday trip. We stayed at Caesers Palace and had a room overlooking the strip.

Our first sighting came around 2 am on Friday at Caesers as the "Chairman of the board" Frank Sinatra came strolling through the casino. The next day we went to the pool, and there was Sonny and Cher sitting at the edge of the pool cooling off. Cher was in a bikini and you could see her cesarian scar from giving birth to Chastity. As we were exiting the pool, we bumped into the Fith Dimension who were coming over to see Sonny and Cher. The headliner that week was Andy Williams, and we saw his show Saturday night. It was a dinner show and I had my first Caeser salad that was made right at the table. Sunday morning, we were eating breakfast in the coffee shop, and seated right next to us was Andy Williams wife Claudine Longet. That was the most celebrities that we saw on one trip!
I saw Shaq and Oscar Dela Hoya at Planet Hollywood a few years ago. They had the press conference for an episode of Shaq vs. He had to fight Oscar for charity.


Saw Reggie Jackson at the Hard Rock in the high limit room with this 20ish blonde women, beautiful with the biggest tits this negro ever saw.
Also saw Shannon Tweed at Ceasar's Palace with her mother shopping.
God would I love to put a 9inch smile on her face.....

Shannon's mother is like 80 years old. I guess she needs some loving, too.
Well, it didn't take place in Vegas, but when my "kids" were taking me out for my birthday, we ate at red Tracton's Steak House in Del Mar. We got there early and we knew the bartender as we ate there often. We heard the bartender say, "Where you going Junior?" I turned around and saw it was Junior Seau he was talking to. He wound up stopping next to Faye to talk to the bartender who shares the same birthday as me. She asked him for an autograph saying, "I usually don't do this, but can I have your autograph?" He said "Sure" and she got a napkin for him to sign it on. After he left, I asked the bartender, Bob, if he came there often. He said he was a regular. Guess he won't be spending any time there in the near future! What a tough loss he was to the world. He always had a smile on his face and wouldn't turn down a request for an autograph.
I saw Dick Clark many years ago. He was on our flight from Chicago to Orlando. He just had a carry-on and when he left the plane he took off like a streak!

Redd Fox,Donna Mills and Gordie Howe.
Celebrities wouldn't be caught dead in the hell-hole casinos I frequent. It works out great for both of us.
