"But casinos are fun"
Last year roughly 50 million people visited Las Vegas.
Oh the glitz, the glamour, the lights, the sounds, the cocktail waitresses with the push-up bras.
50 million people, and at least 300,000 of them won a little money. The other 49 million and change
paid for the glitz, the glamour, the push-up bras and then some. But Vegas is fun, even though you have about a 2% chance of winning on any given trip. Do you want to know how to make a small fortune in Vegas? Go there with a large one. They have it down to a science; it's called "kickyourassology". It's one of the few entertainment concepts funded almost totally by its customers. They have it all their own way. The payouts on the slots are predetermined. They don't have to tinker with the table games,
because they already have the edge there. And the days of comps are gone, replaced by signature restaurants with signature prices.
They keep you busy and dizzy with the whirling colors and the cha-ching of the slots. No clocks. No windows. No sense of day or night. They like it that way. Time is their friend. So you go for a few days with the dream of hitting it big. And one out of every 30 or so times you will, and it will take your mind off of the previous failed attempts...because Vegas is fun.
I've been there, and I've done that, and I've come up with a different point of view on action, and that is...winning is fun.
What stays in Vegas...is your money. But hey, casinos are fun.
