..The New Frontier is closing in 60 days
It looks like Sonny is going to network...and that's a good thing!
Most of the people Sonny talked to are a bit disgruntled.
Me, I'd be thinking it is a great opportunity.
New job, newer hotels, no more rusting ancient parts to rig.
We all put in applications at Sam's Town yesterday.
I put one in (just for funzees) for Blackjack dealing and Front Desk clerk.
Sonny put one in for Engineer III.
Becky put one in for Bowling Attendant
And wouldn't you know it, I am interviewing there on Monday (as a blackjack dealer extra).
The Frontier is the last standing Summa Hotel.
It signifies the end of Howard Hughes reign in Las Vegas. That's sad.
I worked at the Summa building (on Industrial Road) twice in 1984 and 2001.
Nevada Automated Betting Systems was affiliated with Summa, and I contracted with them. Mgm moved their crew there.
Summa had very high security in 1984.
Rumor had it Summa stored vast amounts of info for the CIA on their hard drives.
Now, no one that works there seems to know anything about it. Its all forgotten.
Good'ol Jimmy Leavelle is the last one left, that I know, who remembers it. Shoot, he's probably dead by now...
