    Since I just ran into this story, I thought I'd post it. It is not the last time I played with Jackie, but it was my last real interaction.
    I remember reading this snippet back when you originally posted your TR and re-reading it was just as enjoyable. Thanks for posting Dewey.

    Good man, I spoke to him a few times when we stayed at the Plaza, which he also owned with the LV Club.
    He'll be playing Hold-em in heaven.

    RIP - Jackie

    I just read the following on the LVA website:

    Jackie Gaughan Dies: Las Vegas casino pioneer and legend John "Jackie" Gaughan has passed away earlier this morning from what the cornoner's office confirmed were natural causes. He was 93. Father of South Point's Michael Gaughan and grandfather to NASCAR's Brendan Gaughan, Jackie was the former long-time owner of downtown's historic El Cortez casino, where he continued to reside and was a regular face at the poker tables, prior to that room's closure earlier this year. He had been suffering from dementia.
