JACK WEINSTEIN’S 90TH BIRTHDAY PARTY
Guests were encouraged to dress in 1960s Vegas glamour for Vegas icon and Tower of Jewels owner Jack Weinstein’s 90th birthday celebration at the Westgate on February 25. A night of music and storytelling with great friends and prominent Vegas citizens included reminiscences about Weinstein’s first job in Detroit for Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa, and the time Tony “The Ant” Spilotro (unsuccessfully) tried to rob Tower of Jewels. The birthday party for ever-charitable Weinstein was itself a benefit, raising $16,300 for Casa de Luz, an organization that helps the 8,000 families living below the poverty level in the Naked City neighborhood near Stratosphere.
