I love this old guy, he's seen it all -- gambling, opium dens and brothels!

Does anybody know what is the name of the song that starts playing at 5:18?

Glad you like the documentary, Steve. I downloaded royalty free all the music in this video. Many of the songs to came from old striptease film with no credits.
