...hole to take home the $20,000 first prize; he missed, settled for a tie with Nicklaus and Tommy Jacobs, and shot a horrendous 78 for third place and $8,300 in the next day's playoff. In last week's Tournament of Champions at the Desert Inn Country Club, Gay had a five-stroke lead with only 18 holes to go, and Las Vegas bookmakers were offering 7 to 1 that even Btfsplk Brewer could not blow that $20,000 title.

...revenue. Customers have taken such a shine to tokens that instead of cashing them in for a dollar upon leaving, they have begun to keep them as collectors' items or sell them in the East for as much as $2.25 apiece. Since last fall, Las Vegas' Desert Inn has had a run of 9,000 on its token bank, the Stardust 25,000.
