The dealers told me that story-- I wasn't there. And the story telling ended with the dealers wondering if rolling dice was really that important that someone on literally on their death bed would want to come to Caesars to play craps one more time.
But when you think about it, that guy was lucky. He actually had the time and the resources to be able to get taken in an ambulance, attended by nurses, to Caesars Palace to roll the dice one more time. How lucky he was to schedule that "one more trip" to the craps tables.
