Keillor hosts 1st ’Prairie Home’ since stroke

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Humorist Garrison Keillor hosted his first broadcast of “A Prairie Home Companion” since suffering a minor stroke nearly three weeks ago.

Keillor launched a new season of his popular public radio show Saturday night with a live broadcast from the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul.

The 67-year-old Keillor suffered a mild stroke on Labor Day and spent four nights at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. He soon returned to work and said he had no plans to postpone the upcoming season of “Prairie Home.”

The season premiere was followed by an annual meatloaf supper and free street dance featuring Keillor with singer Andra Suchy, Salsa del Soul, the Sam Bush Band and the Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band.

Stratosphere developer Bob Stupak dies at 67

AS VEGAS — Bob Stupak, a colorful gambler and the developer of the 1,149-foot Stratosphere tower on the Las Vegas Strip, died Friday at a hospital after a long fight with leukemia. He was 67.

Stupak, known for outlandish promotions, opened the $550 million Stratosphere hotel-casino in 1996 in hopes that the tower would attract millions of visitors to Sin City. The tower was conceived in 1990 as a way to promote the Stratosphere’s predecessor, Stupak’s Vegas World casino.

The Stratosphere filed for bankruptcy in 1997 and was eventually taken over by billionaire investor Carl Icahn.

Born in Pittsburgh in 1942, Stupak moved to Las Vegas in 1971 and in 1974 opened Bob Stupak’s World Famous Historic Gambling Museum at Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue.
