    Met Duke and did many deals with him. Always a man of his word and always on time like me. Once gave him 20 oz of gold in the morning and he brought me all cash that nite. That’s how much I trust and respect this guy. A man of his word is rare in this day and age.

    Love a guy who is a little different but lives exactly how he wants, and treats people well.

    I'm a Las Vegas native and I live a block away from Fremont. Never heard of this guy but I wish I had. What a legend.

    Vegas seems like the movies but it just ends up being a lot of walking and no sleep

    I lived in Vegas for 3 and a half years. I met Duke at a comic book show and we became friends and I saw him a bunch of times while I lived there. I highly recommend his comics. They are awesome and a great souvenir for tourists and locals. I also bought his silver coins. He is definitely one of the highlights of my short stay in Vegas. I still consider him a friend. An excellent video!!!!

    I also lived in Vegas and never had the pleasure of crossing paths with this character. He beats to his own drum but I'm curious who's beyond that persona he's created and become! What a cult of personality!

    The Man, The Legend, The Duke. Awesome guy. I met him and became friends with him shortly after moving to Las Vegas 8 years ago.

    Met this man opening day at resorts world. I had my 2 female coworkers with me one on each side holding my arm. I must have looked the part because he came up and immediately stole the attention of 1 girl I was with. Luckily we were just work friends so nothing serious but I got to see the duke in action as he worked his magic on my coworker. She was in awe and I was pretty impressed myself. Loved this guy since day one

    The Duke has a fantastic KZread channel. I like how he was a gentleman by scooting in the chair for the lady and then taking the corner seat so he can see all the action at the restaurant. That's a good seat to make sure he doesn't taste any surprise steel. Salute, Duke!
