Description

Vintage black crayon signature, "Joe Louis,” on the reverse of an unused 5.75 x 5.5 Keno ticket from Caesars Palace. In fine condition. In 1970, Louis was hired as a greeter at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. The job involved signing autographs, betting with house money when the action seemed a little slow, and playing golf with special guests. The casino even provided him housing, as well as $50,000 a year. Louis lived and worked at the Palace until his death on April 12, 1981.
