Longtime Las Vegas casino owner Jackie Gaughan is finally walking away from the tables.During a process that took just a few minutes on Wednesday, the Nevada Gaming Control Board approved a request by the downtown casino owner to sell his stake in the El Cortez, Gaughan's signature property since 1963.The vote ended an era that began before Gaughan moved to Las Vegas in 1951 and lasted nearly six decades..........http://www.lvrj.com/business/18758759.html

I hated working there 15 years ago but Mr Gaughan was very nice unlike the bosses in the pits at the time. He is a class act. A true visionary. When he passes god forbid, it will be the largest funeral Vegas has ever seen. God bless Jackie Gaughan.
