Question of the Day - 26 July 2026

Q:

He was telling me that when he visited LV in the 1980s and stayed at Las Vegas Hilton, on their in-house TV, they had Adam West (best known for playing "Batman") telling people how to play the Casino games.

And something that may somewhat back this up is a link that I came across that had to do with him and a Casino playing game (hopefully this link works):

And this all got me to think about Celebrities working for Casinos to give out different kinds of Casino information.  What I mean by this is that for example, I remember seeing Vicki Lawrence hyping up the Mad Money Club at Lady Luck Casino — and I remember seeing Jimmy "The Scot" Jordan explaining some Casino games.

And even in the movie "Honeymoon In Vegas" on the TV in the room of the Character played by Nicolas Cage was none other than John Patrick (subject of the recent LVA QOD) speaking about Poker.

What celebrities have touted gambling as spokespeople for the casinos over the years?
