Craziest Las Vegas story?

Sitting in class the other day when Las Vegas was brought up during a kid’s weekend story.
Which got me thinking, what’s the craziest story you’ve heard of come out of Las Vegas?

 

Yeah it was a pretty good documentary. I think part 2 and 3 were just made up though, but still funny.

Playing craps at the MGM.  Got to Vegas about 8 hours earlier than the rest of the bachelor party of 12 (cliché, I know)

Worked my way up about $10k sitting in front of me.

Rest of the drunken idiots start trickling in.  

Keep going for the next hour, adding about $2k more.

Last group comes in staggeringly drunk from NYC.  They are all itching to leave, I tell them to wait a couple of minutes while I finish up.  While I am talking to 2 of them, the third seriously drunken idiot takes my entire bankroll and puts it on Pass (and for some unknown reason, the Croupier and others miss this).  Mind you, I have not played the pass line since I was 13 years old.

Craps.

By the time, I realize what's going on, the staff has finally figured out what has happens and wants to ARREST my friend (groomsman AND Godfather to one of my children) and throw him in jail. 

I slowly turn to him, while telling the staff I'm OK with this to avoid his ass being thrown in jail, and whisper in his ear.  "You owe me $15k".

6 hours later, 2 bottles of DOM, dozens of women in the adult establishment lining up and more Johnny Walker Blue than I can remember, the $20k-ish bill comes due.  He pays it.

The next morning he comes down for breakfast pissed off wanting to know how he spent $20k at the club the night before.

He did not remember any of it.

Vegas, baby.

Namaste. D.O.U.G.
 

One time in Vegas, I was invited to a wine tasting/networking party at Mandalay Bay rooftop Foundation Room at 8pm... I was 21 and was feeling good that night. Once 11pm rolled around it was normal lounge/club hours. That night I met a modeling agent who was 52 yrs old... She was flirty and I gamed on her until 4am roaming the hotel dancing and went back to her hotel with her friend who was the same age or something.. she also found a younger guy too. Next morning we wake up around 9am and she toasted me a pop tart and sent me off to the elevator with the most dreamy eyes I've seen by a "woman" ...could of been my sugar mommy guys..

bumped in to British guy on the strip > put me on to coke dealer > 2 Mexican cholos come to my room in the cosmo > offered 2 lines of good stuff vs rocket fuel > took the strong stuff > was rolling around the hotel room after this > tried to get the cab driver to take us to the desert so we could shoot his gun on the way to Fremont street > bouncers caught me boffing coke in omnia, confiscated > back at the cosmo casino I was trying to recruit some astrophysicist that was working at NASA or some shit cos I was at a BB at the time (cringggeeee - I was clearly twisted out of my mind). he gave me his business card and asked if I wanted to party at his room with his friends (I think he was probably gay)

weirdly I met a bunch of girls from my city around 7 years ago in ibiza, got the nicest shawtys number, then when I was at the cosmos LV a few years later, they were all sitting at the pool there too... small world. 

 

I’m going in December for the first time.

Didn't do anything too crazy. Went for the first time maybe a month ago, saw Martin Garrix at Omnia which was fucking nuts. Met some canadians that got us onto the pit dance floor thing and we all smoked cigs right in front of the DJ set-up, probably 10 feet from the front. No bouncer kicked us out or anything, and the bathroom attendant lit our cigs for us in the bathroom. 

Next time I go, I'm definitely taking more advantage of pool clubs and tables/bottles. It was an awesome time.

 

Lost my wallet at a different casino, thought I was stuck in Vegas because I had no other form of ID (had a bit too much whiskey at the texas hold'em tables). Casino surprisingly had it the following morning.

Was up $4K one of those nights but ended up losing the next few nights. I left with a few hundred over what I came with ($2K). Was a trip with cousins, had a blast otherwise.

 

Headed to Sushi Samba tomorrow for dinner at the Venetian, then walking back to the Venetian Friday for a $200K GTD Day 1. Final Day is Monday. Everyone who gets through Day 1 cashes.

Saturday 12 noon playing a $500K GTD at the Wynn. Final Day is Sunday. Everyone who gets through Day 1 cashes. 

I love wearing sunglasses at the tables. People are all giving me glares at first, but then they see how much of a nit I am and I get respect.

I was just at Vegas and did a dune buggy chase with Sunbuggy.  Well worth it!  

As far as debauchery, not too much sadly.  I had high hopes for the nightlife coming from NYC and all, but I was let down.  We'd have to bribe the doorman ~$60 or so to get through the line to pay ~$40 cover and then buy $12 bottles of miller lite.  Vegas is largely a sausage fest from what I've seen.  Some women are there, but they are a minority to the multiple of males that are there.  I've had better times at LAVO in the city versus XS in Vegas.

I saw Screech (RIP) from Saved by the Bell at a nightclub.  I befriended a woman who was there for work, and she let me put my drinks on the work tab.  Her boss had some pro sitting on his lap and didn't care what rang through.  She just seemed irritated and appreciated I was halfway coherent and not trying to pick her up.

Did body shots at a pool party of some randoms near us.  Ladies loved it.

Smoked a Cuban cigar with some old guy at a bar.  Unsure why he handed me one, but I was drunk and took it.  Next thing I know he's pouring out his heart about having no luck looking for love in Sin City.

My first time at Vegas, I got a tip that Rain Club at the Palms was where it was at.  We were staying at the Stratosphere (I was broke and barely 21).  We took a cab to Palms.  The cab line was wicked long at bar close, so my 3 college friends and I walked the whole way back to the Stratosphere over 4 miles away.  This was years ago, these days we likely would have been robbed.
