So sad to learn of Ardens passing. I first met Arsenal and Toni back in the early 70's when we all worked for Central Credit Owner Todd Early. So many fun memories. Rest in Paradise.

I am so shocked. Arden was so full of light and life, always making people laugh. One time he and I fought over waiting on Harry Connick Jr. My deepest condolences to his beautiful family and of course his Wynn family. I left the Wynn in 2006 but Arden is just someone you never forget meeting. RIP Arden.
