Frank Sinatra long enjoyed privileged status at the Sands (in Vegas). He was always given unlimited credit in the casino; he rarely paid off his losses and typically kept his winnings.

“It’s been said that during Sinatra’s glory years, men especially loved him because Sinatra lived a life without limits that men could only dream about: having unfettered access to anything he wanted at any time — money, women, booze, fine hotels, fast cars, fancy threads, and the unfailing loyalty of other men. And Sinatra possessed power. The power to summon a flight to Las Vegas on a whim if he felt like hitting the town. The power to snap his fingers and surround himself with the best musicians and song arrangers when he felt like recording an album. The power to help or hurt. Once, he used his muscle to secure a role for Sammy Davis Jr., in the movie Never So Few, only to kick Davis off the movie over a personal slight. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away.”

Whatever he’s winning, they’re probably making 10x just by saying they’re the casino where he plays
Isn’t Scorsese doing a movie about him? Obviously connected to the mob. All around great music though
I guess “Lady Luck” was just the mob after all
