twitterCarson Nugget owner Howard Adams dies at 90
Thursday, June 17, 1999 | 10:14 a.m.
CARSON CITY -- Howard Adams, who co-owned the Carson Nugget Casino with his brother, Hop, since 1957, died last week at his home in Idaho. He was 90 years old.
The brothers started their business with slot houses in Idaho and Oregon, then worked a dozen years in Las Vegas and bought the Carson Nugget in 1957. Over four decades, Howard and Hop Adams built up the small casino until it was the largest casino in Carson City.
In recent years Howard Adams spent most of his time in Idaho. Services were held Monday in Boise.
The Adams family has always cherished privacy to an extreme and Howard's death brought no change to that. No obituary was issued and Carson Nugget officials would not comment.
