This is the closest that I have ever come to opening a time capsule. Special events at The Golden Nugget were special and almost always very profitable. An event would be wrapped around Frank Sinatra, a major boxing fight, the wedding of Vic Damone and Diahann Carroll, who were married at The Golden Nugget in Atlantic City.
Special events were born at The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. It had to focus on a high-end philosophy. It couldn't operate as a volume grind joint. Forty years ago, there were no real computers to help do the kind of work that Joel Bergman, Henry Conversano (he's pictured below in the photo gallery), and Paul Steelman did in designing and building The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. They utilized exceptional human talents to build (what was then) the most profitable casino in the history of the world.
