In 1984, Circus Circus co-owner Bill Pennington was in a boating accident that almost killed him. He remained under water for over 5 minutes until an 18 year old dove in to retrieve and eventually revive him. It’s believed the only reason he survived is because of how cold the water in Lake Tahoe was that day. After waking from a coma, he thanked the young man by buying him a Porsche 930 turbo. A week later, that young man died in that vehicle from a car crash. (the book - Forgotten Man. The story of Bill Bennett)
