When I lived in Californica some friends and I used to hit Lost Wages
every couple of months. Since I knew the slots were a mugs game I left
them for the little old ladies and played blackjack and/or roulette. I
also had a lo$$ limit of U$20 (this was early 1960s).

That was when the mob ran the place as a giant money laundry. And legit
(sorta) profit node. Meals were inexpensive and the shows .... I saw
Frank Sinatra at the Sands for a 2 drink minimum. And Penn  & Teller's
magic act - same deal.

      Title: Las Vegas Hilton Rice Pudding
 Categories: Rice, Dairy, Fruits, Desserts, Citrus
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      1 qt Milk
  3 3/4 oz Rice *
  3 1/4 oz Granulated sugar
      3 oz Raisins; to taste **
           Cinnamon or Nutmeg ***
    1/2 ts Lemon zest; or less ****
           Cream or Half & Half
 
  * It has been said for rice pudding, short grain is
  best. I never saw any difference in long or short
  grain rice. The choice is yours.
  
  ** I marinate my raisins in a little white rum &
  white vanilla overnite. This is your option.
  
  *** The spice(s) are your choice however, always best
  to add at the very end when just about cooled with the
  cream. Another option is you can add 2 or 3 cinnamon
  sticks at the beginning of cooking & remove them at
  the end.
  
  **** This is optional, you can use a powder form if you
  have it. However use much less as this form is strong
  in flavor.
  
  TIP: Do not mix in the sugar till the last minute or
  so...because it is the sugar that leads to scorching.
  Cook on a low heat covered or slightly covered. When
  done remove & uncover let cool. When cooled or very,
  very close to reaching room temp add the cream or
  Half & Half and bring it to your consistency. That's
  the other secret.
  
  Now you can place the pudding into the fridge & serve
  it the next day.
