UPDATE: Much to my surprise, shortly after this item was posted I received a phone call from a long-time Caesars Palace employee who asked that our YouTube embed of this video be removed. On the assumption that Caesars is the legitimate copyright holder to the video in question, we've decided to honor the request and stop displaying the embedded video. Sorry to disappoint!


If you're on your way to Vegas for NAB, you might want to know a little bit about casino gaming before you get there. Why not learn from Orson Welles?
