There still are after hours casinos, they were well known places to score just about anything as long as you didn't cause trouble. I just found out a friend is preparing to open one soon.

Similar situation, by invitation only, pat down at the door by the security guard, etc etc etc.

I'm actually shocked when people who grew up in NYC DON'T know about this. I have friends who are multi-millionaires and friends who are paupers and everything in between and everyone knows this exists, you cant keep a secret about a good time in NYC, word always gets out. Haven't you ever heard of the Mafia?

My first casino was Nicky something or other's vampire bar on 1st & 1st. This was 1989 or so, it opened up at 3:30am every night, the room had a big wheel and three blackjack tables. Nicky reminded me of Verbal in the Usual Suspects (except much older).

cool has nothing to do with it, you got to get your head out of the sand and read the newspapers. They report organized crime busts all the time.
