How did Laughlin come to be? It seems an odd place – a bunch of high-rise hotels in the middle of nowhere.

After watching Ocean's Eleven the other night I got to wondering about their "top three casino robberies of all time" ... are they real as protrayed in the movie? Have there been any more recent ones? Have there ever been any successful casino robberies?

I recently watched a TV program called "City Confidential" concerning the now-defunct Las Vegas company named American Coin. It seems the company was rigging video poker machines and was shut down. I know the machine chip programmer was murdered and the suspect was acquitted and later confessed. What happened to the other two conspirators in the murder investigation? One was named Vito and another was some gal. Also, this whole case stunk of Mafia involvement, especially with the seemingly large number of cover-ups involved to protect the two family owners of American Coin, who it seems were never named as suspects and who had the most to lose in the criminal trial!

I have an authenticated, autographed business card for "The Jim Thorpe Supper Club & Casino." Yes, THAT Jim Thorpe. He died on March 28, 1953. The card also says "Pittman, Nevada." Where is/was Pittman? When was this casino/supper club open? What all can you tell us about it?
