Trivia Time

In late 1997 I drove to Atlantic City to tour the in-plant at Sands Hotel & Casino. Manager Sam Green was a great host and even arranged to let us take photos in the casino, which is almost unheard of. He appeared on our January 1998 cover, under the headline “Big Winner.”

About a week before I received my copies of that issue, I read that the Sands had closed down the in-plant, sending Sam to a happy retirement. Oh well. At least we got a really nice cover photo out of it. (Big winner, indeed.)
