And, Ace at his best was murder. Just get outta the way. All alone, he changed the way they did business out here. He loosened the slots, he raised the odds on craps and gave away steak dinners for two bucks. And, he did the most obvious thing, he took bookie joints off the street and opened them up inside a casino. I mean, this is the only town in the country where a bookie joint is legit, so why not take advantage of it. Within a few years, by doing all this, he had every casino on the strip copying him.
