		When I last spoke to Stupak in Reno (where he was trying to convince the City Council to allow him to purchase the closed-down Riverside Casino and build an amusement ride), he was still optimistic about the gaming industry.

		Bob Stupak was the founder and owner of the Vegas World Casino in Las Vegas, which is now the Stratosphere.
