Mandalay Bay Feast of St. Faro, October 28

St. Faro was a Frenchman who died around 615A.D., but that's not the interesting thing about him. The only reason I mention in him is that his sister is Saint Burgundofara. BURGUNDOFARA!

Didn't there used to be a card game named faro? Why yes, there was (from  Wikipedia):

 With its name shortened to faro, it soon spread to the United States in the 19th century to become the most widespread and popularly favored gambling game. Also called "Bucking the Tiger", which comes from early card backs that featured a drawing of a Bengal Tiger, it was played in almost every gambling hall in the Old West from 1825 to 1915.

 Faro's detractors regarded it as a dangerous scam that destroyed families and reduced men to poverty because of rampant rigging of the dealing box. Crooked faro equipment was so popular that many sporting-house companies began to supply gaffed dealing boxes specially designed so that the bankers could cheat their players. Cheating was prevalent enough that editions of Hoyle’s Rules of Games began their faro section warning readers that not a single honest faro bank could be found in the United States. While the game became scarce after World War II it continued to be played at a few Las Vegas and Reno casinos through 1985.
