The hats are
gone, but I still have some Captain Bob "Bob L Heads" laying around. I
gave one away at a Christmas White Elephant gift deal. Captain Bob is
still around. He has changed his persona- and is now Couch Potato Bob
over at the Tropicana.

Bobblehead Bob runs a fine promotion no matter what is his garb or persona.
His current get-up and stage is for Monday Night Football over at the Trop
Express. He wears his hard hat with the beer cans/straws endowment. They got a
couch for him with a flat screen TV over by the slot club. He is giving away
$50 a point in kiosk driven MNF drawings.
I miss him over at the Belle's Grand Staircase. I got to roll his giant
cardboard dice down those stairs a few times...."rollin', rollin' on the river".
But there are not too many personalities left on the river. Mr. Lucky and
Mark "Elvis" Davis left EW when MGM/Mirage bought the Mandalay Resort Group.
Elvis was rumored to be at the Hacienda by the Dam. John Sullivan could talk it
up at the River Palms. He can now be found on the local Bruce Clark TV2
daily show.
Even Andre Carrier could get the crowd going. He was the former GM of the
Golden Nugget. The used to tape a football tout show in Tarzans on Thursday
afternoons. He was in the middle of it. He moved up with Landry's and went to
Vegas.
I can't name anyone besides Bobblehead/Coach Potato Bob who does the
promotions anymore with some flair.
