NIGHTLIFE—Blackjack King and Nightlife Whale Don Johnson is at it again, having won another $2 million dollars from the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City last month. This is great news for New York's nightclubs, as Johnson, aka the "Beast of Blackjack", loves nothing more than spending his gambling winnings on insanely large novelty bottles of Champagne. Expect to see local club owners bending over backwards to try and bring Mr. Johnson into their venues over the coming weeks and hope you get lucky by being in the club when the Beast is there handing out the free drinks.
