Poor guy lost all his money due to no responsibility of his own!

Wow! What an a&&wipe. “They give out free liquor so we gamble more”.
Here’s what happens!!! They hold your nose, tilt your head back and force the liquor down! Then they pull your wallet and slap all the cash on red! Or black. Whichever one they KNOW will lose!! Terrible. Just awful.
It’s an act. Alex Stein is a political prankster who goes to city council meetings with outrageous and funny stories.
Aw darn. I fell for it
An old quote that rings more and more true for more and more people these last few years:
Life is hard. It’s harder if you’re stupid.
That is Alex Stein. He is a hilarious conservative with a huge Youtube following.
I haven’t been to a place yet where tourists aren’t taken advantage of. It’s how it works...
A fool and his money are soon parted.
LOL...Las Vegas isn’t the only entity that attracts suckers.
Geez Louise, folks...wake up!
Is there any reason for Las Vegas to exist OTHER THAN taking advantage of tourists?
Gee, I think he has more issues than LV getting him drunk.
This is funny. How Alex can tell his tale to the Council without busting out laughing is amazing.
The whole reason to go to Vegas is good drinks, good food and good times. If you can’t afford it don’t go. For me I don’t gamble like some but I go onc e a year. Get a free suite, comp food and drink have a $2000 gamble limit for four days, a lot cheaper than Disneyland!
This guy obviously has a gambling problem. I was in Aruba 2 years ago and was given a $20 voucher for the casino. I played a slot machine and vowed not to spend more than $20. After a few plays, and with $4 left, bells went off for about 30 seconds. I won $154! Stopped there.
If you've ever known real gamblers, you'll get it.
Guy is sitting on the curb in front of a casino looking really dejected. Man walks by and says, "What's wrong, buddy?" Guy on the curb says, "Oh, I just got a terrible phone call. The doctor says my wife needs a serious operation and that she doesn't have much time left. I don't know how we'll ever pay for it. Say, do you think you could help me out here? Maybe give me a few bucks?" Man says, "Oh, come on! Do you really expect me to fall for a crock like that? If I gave you any money you'd just go right back inside and gamble more!" Guy on the curb gets angry and says, "No way, man! It's not like that! I got gamblin' money."
Some people see a glass half full of water, some see it half empty. Not sure where I am on that scale, but those beautiful hotels and casinos are built by winners, who successfully separate money from the fools they attract.
As a big spender from the coast, the late wife and I would drop as much as $200.00 a year in the local casino. Not sure what we enjoyed more; the gambling, or the food. That would be at a minimum 4 to 6 trips a year. Depending on how much of a losing streak we were on. $20.00 each, was a lot of money to lose in one night.
We take our gambling money (which we can afford and expect to lose) and divide it into envelopes for each day. If we run out of money for a particular day, our gambling is over for the day and we start fresh the next day with a new envelope of money. More often than not, we have money left over to carry into the next day. We just take our time playing the games and have fun.
I do the same..
If planned correctly a week in Las Vegas can be as cheap as driving to Cape Cod for two nights.
Video poker at the bar is the best way to stretch money, get a constant flow of free booze and people watch..
Half the time I walk away with more $$ or the same as when I walked in.
A few of my fav bars are gone now...like O’Sheas.
Lots of stupid videos up that state “I was arrested for what!?” and then show the person being “arrested” by their college roommate dressed up like a cop.
When the Mrs. was still with me (she's now in Heaven) we made a couple trips to Vegas. We would always do it the "wrong" way by the house's standards: we'd play the slots slowly, one at a time, having fun, and only play with a pre-determined amount. Once we hit the pre-determined amount, we'd leave.
If we started losing, we'd stop playing. If we won, we'd get up, and use the winnings to have a nice dinner.
You always go by the cardinal rule: In the long run, the house ALWAYS wins.
