Although lost in the mists of time, legend has it that Las Vegas poker or blackjack dealers (depending on the source) at Binion’s Horseshoe Casino would utter the classic phrase back in the day when their chicken dinner special was only $2. The quote gained traction again after the 2008 movie 21, which was based on the true story of the MIT card counters. There are no $2 chicken dinners at Casino 99, but there are winners, good food, great prices, and happy hour specials at the full-service bar.
