[Written Friday afternoon, April 6, picking up where #104 left off, literally bumping into Amarillo Slim at the entrance of Doug Dalton’s office at the back of the poker room at the Bellagio.]
I’ve never met Amarillo Slim, though I’ve seen him a couple times around the World Series (and once playing $20-$40 at Casino Arizona). He’s got to be around 80, if not older, but he was looking pretty good. He was wearing a cowboy hat with “the” band – a rattlesnake that supposedly bit him years ago. He also had on cowboy boots of some exotic animal, and a snazzy blazer with a logo that said “Slim’s Joint.”
