Well I was driving by the Dunes the night Howard Hughes
was hitch hiking and picked up by that guy that he left his
empire to.

Also this last Thursday, I was at the intersection
of Jones & Cheyanne when that airplane crashed
into that house, didn't see a thing.

I found out a plane had ran into the twin towers of the WTC at a craps
table in the Golden Nugget.

Sort of Vegas-related, in August, 1977 I was walking down a street in
Paris. Passing a newspaper box, I saw the headline "Elvis Est Mort".

Aug 16, 1977, we were driving out of Las Vegas when it was announced
on the radio that Elvis Presley had died.
