Michael Gaughan has been granted the rights to operate slot concession at McCarran International Airport under the name Michael Gaughan Airport Slots, operating over 1,300 slot machines in all of the airport's terminals. The concession is licensed by the state as Michael J. Gaughan, Airport Slot Concession, Inc.
He also owns the South Point Hotel/Casino in Las Vegas. He sold Coast Casinos to Boyd Group around 8 years ago. His father was Jackie Gaughan - a true Vegas legend (he died about 6 months ago).
Years ago, it was a pain when the machines used coins. Machines needing a "fill" and your flt is leaving in 10 minutes - no fun. Now all the machines are ticket-in/ticket-out. There are attendants / change personal to fill out a W-2 if the jackpot is over $1200.00.
SIDE NOTE:
Brendan Gaughan (born July 10, 1975) is an American racing driver. Gaughan is the grandson of Vegas gaming pioneer Jackie Gaughan and son of Michael Gaughan, a hotel and casino magnate.
I've met both Michael and Jackie Gaughan. They are/were very nice people.
