Las Vegas’s allure is irresistible to the world’s tourists, and also for our country’s conventioneers. Tradeshow Week magazine ranked Las Vegas at the top of their list of America’s most popular convention sites in 1999. This oasis in the desert hosted 32 of the 200 largest conventions in the United States, followed distantly by Chicago and New York. But conventioneers beware! Las Vegas has its allure, and it also has its drawbacks. The noted Philadelphia attorney Albert B. Gerber booked a First Amendment Lawyers Association (FALA) annual meeting there. His endless problem was corralling FALA lawyers who were strung out at the gambling tables, and getting them into the seminars and meetings.

Conventions in the following years were held in cities offering less razzle-dazzle.
All those genial, ever-smiling casino hosts and owners are always playing hardball, no matter how friendly they appear. Even when they go out of their way to comp you for a drink or a meal, they have only one thought in their mind, just one goal on their agendas: separating you from your money as quickly as possible. In case you doubt what I say, let me tell you about the gala opening day of Circus Circus in Las Vegas.

Ballyhooed for weeks prior to its debut as the first Las Vegas casino geared for the family crowd, opening day at Circus Circus was eagerly anticipated. When the day came, the crowds lined up early. Frankly, I didn’t give a tinker’s dam for a family-oriented casino as I was a foot-loose bachelor, and a casino was a casino, but this day I was with a lady friend-of-the-moment who was eager to see the new attraction. Reluctantly 1 said okay, and we joined the long line that snaked halfway to the next casino. 1 hadn’t seen a line this long since the heyday of Radio City Music Hall. After an interminable wait we finally got inside. With all the hoopla and advance publicity, there was more razzle-dazzle than one could imagine. Bands, acrobats, circus animals. Dozens of carnival booths ringed the three-story building, with all the carnies hawking their wares and spieling their spiel, not to mention the jugglers, clowns, and trapeze artists that rounded out the pageant.

You get the picture. The damn noise from all of the above was maddening. Fighting my way to a green-felt table—any green-felt table—was a hassle in itself. Finally 1 managed to squeeze in at a craps table (I really didn’t want to shoot craps, but getting a seat at a blackjack table was well-nigh impossible). I stuck it out for a few hands because a guy at the other end of the table had a great shoot, but the cacophony was beginning to get to me. Able to stand it no longer, I picked up my chips and looked around for the cashier’s cage.
