"Fountain Casino"...

Haven't heard that name in years either.

I remember pulling in one night (probably Dec 1979) in a half painted brown/half primered '69 Camaro, with a spray painted gray roof, and chicken wire for a front grill, with a cop right behind me... lights flashing and all.  (My '71 Monte had just gotten totaled, so I pieced the Camaro together which was mid restoration, just to have a way of getting around)...  

It was back in the dance club heyday, and I was working at Bambergers at the time for a school course, so I was pretty spiffed up with a blazer, skinny tie, and probably the best light colored shoes available from Flagg Brothers (lol)....    When I got out of the car to talk to the cop, I don't think I was what he was expecting based on how ratty the car looked, and when I politely asked why I was pulled over, I got the usual "Your rear license plate light isn't working" (which use to happen every few months, even though there was never anything wrong with the light... It's factory for 1969.

No ticket... No written warning...  And pretty exciting way to show up at a nightclub!
