=== Death === In 1965, Nichols took his Five Pennies band to the Mint Hotel in Las Vegas. On June 28, 1965, a few days after he began performing, he had chest pains while he was sleeping. He phoned the front desk, but was dead by the time the ambulance arrived. The band performed as scheduled with a spotlight on Nichols' empty chair.<ref name=Billboard1965>{{cite magazine|title=Red Nichols Dead at 60 |magazine=Billboard |date=July 10, 1965 |volume=77 |issue=28 |page=10 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UykEAAAAMBAJ&q=%22Red+Nichols%22&pg=PA10}}</ref>
