STABLE. SECURE. JImmY FosteR ope springs eternal, and as Las Vegas experiences its own spring awakening, along comes an invigorating March issue of Diamond Cake. Bringing our readers a valuable public service spotlighting the very finest our community has to offer across the areas of society, philanthropy, and culture, one can just feel the sense of good things around the corner. And one doesn’t have to look far; the heart of the Las Vegas arts community beats strongly like a beacon with the Hopening of the Smith Center for the Performing Arts. One cannot overstate the achievement this represents from a multitude of perspectives, from economic to an aspect of group psychology. Las Vegas has been in need of a ‘win’ to bolster team morale through some tough times. From Zappo’s to The Mob Museum, to a resurgent UNLV basketball team, and now The Smith Center, Las Vegas’ 2011-2012 record is shaping up to look like a winning season. But all this should remind us of how much more can and must be done. This is why we are proud to spotlight the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. Their effort to “Keep Memory Alive” is bringing hope to countless families dealing with Alzheimer’s Disease across the valley and the country. By doing so, they are contributing to a spirit of innovation and the feeling of momentum our community continues to experience in 2012. This effort is one shared by all of our valued partners. Please do your part in considering how they can help you, and join the Diamond Cake group of Ad Partners in welcoming our newest members, CityCenter Properties and The Ridges. It is by recognizing the value we all have in shaping Las Vegas’ future, by working together, that we ensure our Ross Goodman spring is made glorious summer and beyond. DEEP ROOTS. ROSS C.

  • The Oral History of Kenny Epstein (Do Not Delete) 11/22/2017 12:11 Pm
    THE ORAL HISTORY OF KENNY EPSTEIN (DO NOT DELETE) 11/22/2017 12:11 PM THE ORAL HISTORY OF KENNY EPSTEIN Kenny Epstein has spent a lifetime working in the gaming industry. Beginning in 1966 at the newly opened Caesars Palace as a Baccarat shift boss, Epstein eventually purchased a stake in Jackie Gaughan’s El Cortez Hotel and Casino in the mid-seventies. Partnering with Gaughan and his son Michael, he helped build the Barbary Coast, Gold Coast, Orleans, and Suncoast. In 2007, Epstein purchased the El Cortez and continues to work as the casino’s chief executive officer today. _________________________________________________ I. EARLY LIFE Will you tell us about your life growing up, starting with where you were born? Well, I was born in Chicago, Illinois, July 10th, 1941. My father, Ike Epstein, was a gambler, a professional gambler. He started out as a horse-book banker at first. He had guys at the racetrack, then he got to be a layoff book banker. So that’s how I grew up in the business. Mostly with horses, but later on with sports. As a kid, did you have any particular hobbies or things that you would like to do for fun? Oh, baseball. Baseball is America’s sport. We played a game called pinners, which is baseball with no bat. You take a pink Spaldeen and you throw it on the stoop. You have lines on the street for single, double. Later on we played with a bat and a ball on the street. You know, we had plenty of parks but that wasn’t the game we played.

  • The Naming of Gaming
    The Naming of Gaming Pauliina Raento Academy of Finland and William A. Douglass University of Nevada, Reno The naming of casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an essential ingredient in the design of the city's entertainment landscape. More than 300 names have been used in the naming of gaming in Las Vegas since 1955. They occur in seven dominant patterns: 1) luck and good fortune, 2) wealth and opulence, 3) action, adventure, excitement and fantasy, 4) geography, 5) a certain moment, era, or season, 6) intimacy and informal- ity, and 7) "power words" commonly used in the naming of businesses. The categories are described and analyzed from the perspective of the evolution of Las Vegas. Regional variations between the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, and suburban Las Vegas are also discussed. The names provide a powerful means of evoking senses of place, images, and identities for the casinos. They underscore the interpretative subjectivity and plurality of the relationship between people and commercial urban environments. Introduction We name people, things, and places to distinguish them from one another and to give them character. Often the names are commemorative and draw upon features (usually positive) of individuals and places. Buildings, streets and towns are named after other familiar places, historical events, and distinguished persons who have played a notable role in the shared past. As an example of the latter, over one quarter of the roughly 3,000 counties in the United States are named patriotically, most often commemorating a political figure (Zelinsky 1983, 6). Names of streets and buildings in capital cities and other centers of importance have special prestige.
