Needless to say, he was taken to his room immediately and I still haven't seen this guy come back. There are many stories like this one, people losing thousands and thousands of dollars in a week, only to return home with the fear of bankruptcy in their minds. Las Vegas is simply that kind of town. The Nevada State Gaming Commission requires any casino to post signs displaying the Gambler's Anonymous toll free number every so many feet. Yeah, you will find these signs, but you really have to look for them in the most out of the way places.
Chances are, that room was empty in the first place as most room placing take place after midnight.
All they are out is the cost of time for the maid next morning. Speaking of time, there are two things that you will never find in a casino. A clock or a window. Many times I have seen people get up from a blackjack table as if in a daze to ask the time. So, don't be fooled.
