there is a new name in the Nevada Gaming Black Book. copied article inside.

September 18, 2015 11:44 Qu. of the Day Update with New Name Added to 'Black Book': Wow! Talk about topical. Today's LasVegasAdvisor.com "Question of the Day" feature is all about the Nevada List of Excluded Persons, a.k.a. the "Black Book," including its history and an update on recently added names (and one person who's campaigning to make history and have his name removed). Apparently, as we were penning the answer yesterday, a new name was added and it's a notorious one, namely Archie Karas, himself the subject of a previous QoD on 12/7/08 and whose legendary 1992-93 roller coaster run in Las Vegas is detailed in former Cigar Aficionado gaming columnist Michael Konik's The Man With the $100,000 Breasts. Karas, who has legitimate earnings from multiple WSOP cashes over the years (although no bracelet), has also been arrested for cheating on about as many occasions both in Nevada and California, where he's already on the casinos' persona non grata list. He was finally added to Nevada's Black Book on September 17 as the result his arrest and conviction for cheating at blackjack at San Diego's Barona Casino in 2014; Karas did not show up for yesterday's hearing to contest his placing on the list, we gather.
