I was living in Las vegas during the 80s and Roxy was a fixture at Gary Austins Sportbook hanging with some people that would later become well known to sport bettors.
Also inducted is Vic Salerno (sob),a dentist turned bookie who ran the Leroy betting shops.Vic was also the president of the Bookie Guild(?) and he was the sob that got all the sportbooks on-line together which enabled the books up and down the strip to move their line without being bet into by any money.So for example,if the Stardust moved Cowboys-6 to Cowboys-7 every book would instantly know the move and could adjust their number absent any $.This made shopping for a # virtually impossible and flew in the face of the old adage: Only 2 things Move the Line, Money or the Face that Bet the Money.
