Casino pioneer John Ascuaga has died at 96

Casino pioneer John Ascuaga has died at 96 John Ascuaga, famed Nevada entrepreneur and former owner of John Ascuaga’s Nugget in Sparks, has died. The announcement was made by Sparks Mayor Ed Lawson shortly before the beginning of today’s Sparks City Council meeting. Ascuaga was 96. He was born in Caldwell, Idaho, in 1925. Ascuaga lived for more than half a century at Jacks Valley Ranch in Carson Valley while he was owner of the casino, which he helped to build in the 1950s prior to purchasing it himself in 1960. The casino was originally owned by Dick Graves, for whom Ascuaga worked. Graves owned more than half a dozen bars and restaurants with slot machines in them across Idaho until gambling was outlawed there. It was then he turned his attention to Nevada and opened the Carson City Nugget and the Sparks Nugget café with Ascuaga at his side as food supervisor.
