Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal dead at 79
more details here
The Stardust was my absolute favorite Vegas property for many years.
I was friendly with a few baccarat supervisors who worked directly for "Lefty." --- the stories were awesome, one of the many reasons I loved playing big baccarat at the 'dust.
I played the final day-shift big baccarat game at the 'dust back in 2006.
and, I'll never forget the great times I had talking to Shirley in the baccarat room --- the "first" female baccarat dealer in Vegas, trained by "Lefty."
Oh, yes, and they had a great Loyalty Program @ the 'Dust. Chairman and Gold Level were ripe with lots of discretionary perks.

BK, I will watch Casino again (especially the opening scenes) again in HD.
I am sorry that I missed out on the Stardust experience in 2005!

His website is still up.
Not everyone liked the guy.
"It's been said you should never speak ill of the dead," one former federal organized crime prosecutor quoted in the Las Vegas Review-Journal said. "There are exceptions to the rule. Frank Rosenthal is one of those exceptions. He was an awful human being."
