Discovering this photo in a Las Vegas museum started me on a hobby-turned-obsession with the long-gone El Rey Resort & Casino, owned by a Willie Martello in Searchlight, NV.
What started out as a hope to find some memorabilia from the place has become the basis for an upcoming book I'm currently writing.
Believe me, this place was MUCH MORE than a casino, and the brothel aspect was barely a part of the AMAZING story behind the El Rey Casino. So please check out my blog to learn more (address below)
I am ALWAYS looking for information about Willie Martello and the El Rey Club (El Rey Resort & Casino) as well as looking for memorabilia for my collection. If you or someone you knew worked or played at the El Rey, or if you have an item to share please contact me through YouTube or by e-mail at andy@andymartello.com.
Complete details of the El Rey story and what I've discovered thus far can be found at my blog.
