It's been well documented that Rob was told not to play in certain casinos because of his winnings. When I did the interviews with him it was tough to find a casino that would let us do them on the casino floor, so one set of interviews were done in my room at Caesars and one set was done in the high limit area of Hard Rock.

Another strike out for redietz.
This was a really misleading and diversionary post. Surprisingly dishonest. Most casinos are not going to allow videotaping on the casino floor . The clear implication here is that somehow Argentino's presence was the reason for the non-allowance of videotaping.

So, I will ask Mr. Mendelson directly, "Are you suggesting or implying that the videotaping was not allowed because Argentino was banned at most casinos? What precisely was said to you? Do you publicly stand by the statement that Argentino's winning was the reason you were not allowed to videotape at casinos, and can you name those casinos?"

Because, of course, I will ask those casinos if that was the case.

Just really dishonest regarding the videotaping.

As to "It's been well documented..." -- that phrase is passive voice, meaning, Mr. Mendelson does not have his hands on any of that evidence. He's presenting it second hand, based on Argentino's reportage. Now some people might ask (1) what was in the original banning letter from Bellagio -- did it state a banning due to winning, (2) what other casinos banned due to winning, and how does one verify that the banning excluded other reasons (such as vulgar or inappropriate behavior or non-payment of markers), and (3) why follow the "It's been well documented..." slop with a sentence explaining how hard it is to videotape on casino floors?

Without writing in advance for permission, most casinos will not allow videotaping involving people.
BUMP. Just wondering if Mr. Mendelson has tracked down any of the undocumented documents or the "reports" other than Argentino's posts.
Red, as much as you hate it, my Bellagio ban letter stated exactly what I've stated here many times before: that they did not allow me to play VP any longer because they could not make a profit off of me. It also stated that I could come in and get involved in any other activities other than play vp.

Now go to your corner and keep on crying.
