This was resorts world casino in NYC which was only open q month at the time. Lots of people but few savvy to get players cards. Most were not gamblers who had experience in AC.
How did you even get in? On the Strip Circus Circus is pretty much the only casino that allows the homeless to even pit stop inside, that's part of why UNKewlJ confines nursing his sorry act to the North Side.
Is RW NYC fast and loose with entrance standards like Circus Circus,
or did you take a shower and shoplift some clean clothes first?
North Vegas is where you go when you've fucked up once too often on the Strip, and when you're not even welcome in the cut-rate downtown places around Casino Center.
This is Nevada's answer to East St. Louis - a slum and a graveyard, last stop before permanent exile to Ely or Winnemuca. North Vegas is where you go if you're a hooker turning thirty and the syndicate men on the Strip decide you're no longer much good for business out there with the high rollers .. . or if you're a pimp with bad credit at the Venetian . . . or what they still call, in Vegas, "a hophead." This can mean almost anything from a mean drunk to a junkie, but in terms of commercial acceptability, it means you're finished in all the right places.
The big hotels and casinos pay a lot of muscle to make sure high rollers like MDawg don't have even momentary hassles with "undesirables." Security in a place like the Wynn is super tense and strict. Probably a third of the people on the floor at a given time are either shills or watchdogs. Public drunks like AxelWolf known male hustlers like UNKewlJ are dealt with instantly - hustled out to the parking lot by Secret Service type thugs and given an impersonal lecture about the cost of dental work and of trying to make a living with two broken arms.
