Tales from the Casino Dealer

These are all allegedly true stories about actual events that have taken place at casinos around the world

A couple of years ago I worked at a casino here in Las Vegas. For those of you not familiar with the joint, it has a craps table and a couple of BJ next to the front door where you can literally see the sidewalk and the cars traveling on Las Vegas Blvd. One evening it was very slow and while taking my break outside I found a $5 chip from the casino across the street and "super glued" it on the sidewalk where we could see people trying to pick the chip up. Man I used a whole tube of super glue to insure that chip was going nowhere. You talk about funny shit, would you believe that chip kept all three shifts entertained before someone finally pried it lose.

About 10 years ago I was dealing at a strip casino. I had an irresponsible roommate who was a dealer at the same casino (imagine that). One weekend we had our phone disconnected because my roommate ran up our phone bill on 1-800 porn phone calls, and didn't pay the bill. Well the night before he had a all nighter with some hooker he picked up and when I left to go to work at 5:30pm he was still sleeping (he was scheduled at 8:00pm).At 8:15 the shift manager came up to me on my table and told me " If your roommate doesn't show up by 9:00pm, I'm going to fire him. I was due for break at 8:20 and I remembered our phone was disconnected, So I called Domino's Pizza and ordered A large cheese and pepperoni pizza to our apartment and said if they hurried their would be a $10 tip for the driver. When the pizza driver knocked on the door, my roommate woke up and said "I didn't order no damm pizza, ........Oh shit I'm late for work "Well my roommate made it to work by 9:00pm. The shift manager didn't fire him though he was upset my roommate didn't bring in any pizza. True story

After enjoying an evening of recreational gambling at New York New York in Las Vegas, an elderly couple (in their late seventies) decides to take the tram back to Mandalay Bay. Unfortunately the indoor 'tram station' at NYNY doesn't go to Mandalay Bay, in fact it doesn't go anywhere but straight up 450 feet in the air then 80 mph straight down into a double cork screw double loop ride of a lifetime! Of course the couple became very ill and required hotel security to administer oxygen and the assistance of the emergency services of the LV Fire Dept paramedics! Once recovered, the good folks at NYNY gave the couple a limo ride back to their hotel.
