Great interview with sportsbetting legend Lem Banker from a few months ago conducted by John L. Smith of the LV Review-Journal. Maybe the best I've ever heard with him chronicling more than 50 years of booking, betting, the mob and of course Vegas history.

I took a group to eat at the palm in CP years ago. One of the girls asked who all the people on the walls were. I told her that each palm has LOCAL celebrities. So in DC they have politicians and judges on the walls, NY has broadway types and athletes, etc etc.
Then I looked on the wall and the first face I saw was lem so I said to her see that picture that is lem banker. A long time vegas gambler who is very smart and has a big rep in vegas, but elsewhere in the country is a complete unknown. We all realized at almost the same time 3 feet below the picture lem was eating his dinner.
We got a good laugh at that.
