Welcome to George Korey
Casino Tours! Started in
Jacksonville by my father in
1962.!
|
Some Casino History:
My father, George "Shane" Korey,
began by taking trips out of Jax to Las Vegas, most notably
the "Old" Aladdin, the
Tropicana, and The Flamingo.
It was not unusual back then to
run into celebrities on these
excursions. I have ridden the
elevator with Rodney Dangerfield
(he looked really bummed out, so
he must have had a bad night at
the tables!), sat next to Cheryl
Tiegs at a concert,
watched a television shooting of
"Charlies Angel's" with Dean
Martin, Farah Faucett, etc,
partied with the Little River
Band, had Box Scaggs luggage
delivered to my room, and played
craps with Ike Turner - to name
a few.
Back then you HAD to wear a
dinner jacket to the gourmet
restaurants! And most
people in the CASINOS were very
well dressed! If you tipped the
doorman $10, you could get the
front row at a show, and pretty
much EVERYONE you saw was at
least 21.
Things are a bit different now:
There are kids EVERYWHERE!!!!!
Everyone wears shorts, sandals,
t-shirts,
And if you don't buy your show
tickets in advance good luck and
God Bless.
We still manage to have fun
though! :^)
Ours is still one of the few
Junket businesses that
personally accompanies the
groups and stay with them on our
trips (that would be myself, or
if you are lucky, my beautiful
daughter - Layla).
We hope to see you on a trip
soon!
Feel free to call me for more
