Watch out below on the Market too. Too much too fast. Lead story today. Car insurance and A Hole drivers causing most of inflation. Just paid mine. Up 22 percent. No violations!

I instructed the SA how I wished to be paid and waited. And waited. Fifteen minutes later she came back saying they wanted to know my occupation to which I replied simply "retired", although I haven't officially qualified as such. Evidently that wasn't good enough. What about before you retired? After asking why this was necessary, I gave a generic "scientist". Seemingly satisfied, they left and I waited another 20 minutes until they returned.

All good until they realized the check did not match the w2-g! Off again for another 20 minutes as I fumed at the incompetence. Upon return there was another issue this time with the w2-g. I ended up having a manager come out to the floor to resolve (another 10 minute wait). After nearly an hour and 10 minutes I finally had my check and a fresh drink- which took almost as long to be delivered.

I missed this post the first time around; first let me say to TripleTriple how sorry I am you had to experience this fiasco; You can add stuff like this to my previous criticisms of Today's casino business and what they inflict on their customers. This type of experience for someone who is a Seven Star person backs up my claim about today's casinos absolutely being anti-customer greedy entities.

I do not understand this crap about having to ask you your "occupation"? I never ever encountered or heard of such lunacy before, especially on a mere $2K handpay. What is this all about? Is this common in today's casinos in general?
Any inclination I have to possibly revisit these establishments and try to play vp again is evaporating very fast and thoroughly.

Somebody felt loved. State records show three brick and mortar $50,000+ February 14 jackpots. Harrah’s ($64,000 Five Star Poker), Hard Rock ($67,000 Emperor’s Treasure) and Resorts ($80,000 Sahara Gold) high rollers struck gold. DraftKings.com dished out three more, one for $1.29M.

Most likely the 64k at Harrah's was a dealt royal on double pay at dollar level. But it wasn't me. No no child it wasn't me.

Maybe knowing about this windfall during your stay is some small consolation. At least somebody won the VP lottery. I’d even hold up a cardboard check for them after emerging from the Atlantic.
