Dick Lamm lost credibility in Colorado when it was revealed that as Governor he wrote a letter of reccomendation to the Nevada State Gaming Commission requesting that they grant a license to Meyer Blinder. This was a deal called American Leisure. It was also revealed that a 5k investment by Lamm that year returned 50k in risk free stock transactions.

Meyer has passed now. It's interesting how many people in Vegas that did business with people like Meyer are permitted to still frequent casinos.
