Jerry and Lorraine inside the
Sahara Hotel & Casino
|
Las Vegas
Lady Gambler and Spiritualist Dies
(August
8, 2009)
Lorraine
DiFelice didn't seem 67. She
was full of life and laughter
and like many characters that
hang out at certain Casinos in
Las Vegas, she
was always around. Arizona
Charlie's was her
habitat mostly. She came over
to the Sahara to do a show with
us several years ago, but after
taping it all, she wanted to go
eat and guess what, she insisted
we go to Arizona Charlie's. This
place on West Decatur has always
fascinated me because it seems
to have a special bond with
locals. Lorraine had won some
money there a time or two but
probably she was behind at the
time of her death, I really
don't know. She always had lots
of ideas about promoting things
and this show with her is all
about her ideas of doing
spiritual and paranormal things
and doing it all in Las Vegas.
To many,
Las Vegas seems like a
cold place but not so, even in
her death, her favorite joint
gave space to her friends to
remember Lorraine DiFelice in a
special memorial service.
