This week, Ira spoke with Geno Munari, author of "The Dunes Hotel and Casino: The Mob, the connections, the stories," who will participate in the “Meet & Greet Gaming Education Series” at the Casino Collectibles Association's 31st annual Casino Chip and Collectibles Show, June 13-15, at South Point Hotel and Casino. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Geno talks about moving to Las Vegas in 1964; how he ended up working at the Dunes; why he got into magic and ownership of the Houdini Magic shops; the most interesting character (most memorable guy) at the Dunes; who was the real Las Vegas godfather; the significance of the Dunes; “a city within a city”; and what he will talk about at the Meet & Greet (including the true story of the “chip cup”).
