. . . Ralph Engelstad, an alumnus who owned a Las Vegas casino where he staged Third Reich dress-up parties on Hitler's birthday.
JUST EXTRA POLISH. I DO SOME WORK WITH EXCELL SO I KEEP THE CAPS LOCK ON :-P
Peccole, a former member of the Nevada Gaming Commission, was close to Engelstad in the months following the controversy over Engelstad's Nazi memorabilia collection in the Imperial Palace in the 1980s.He came aboard in June 1989, five months after the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Engelstad's other attorneys had reached a settlement to levy a $1.5 million fine against Engelstad for embarrassing the industry. It allowed him to keep his gaming license.Engelstad had held parties in the resort's secret multimillion-dollar Nazi memorabilia room allegedly to observe Adolf Hitler's birthdays in 1986 and 1988. Engelstad later denounced Hitler, apologized for his error in judgement and emptied the room of nazi memorabilia.
John Hoff (random alumnus who posts on DS articles a lot) has a theory that the statue in front of the Ralph came from Nazi Germany. Does that hold water?
