In a July interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Brooklyn native said he first visited Vegas in 1979, long before he became famous.

“It was 1979, and I was on my way to L.A. to do a showcase at the Comedy Store. I stopped in Vegas where Sandy Hackett, who is Buddy’s son, was doing showcases at the Sahara. That was my first trip to Vegas,” Clay recalled. “I put some money in a slot machine and won $400 bucks. I started thinking I found a new way to make a living. Hours later, I was calling my sister in San Diego saying, ‘The machine took all my money. I can’t even afford a room.’ I was only 21 and had never left Brooklyn before.”
