A Peek into Life as a Vegas High Roller

A Peek into Life as a Vegas High Roller
9 May 2012 | By: Seth Shafer Most of us wonder from time to time what it’s really like to be a high roller in Vegas, as far as trading in playing $5/hand blackjack at Bally’s for wagering tens of thousands of dollars on a single hand of baccarat in the high-roller salon at Aria. We can’t help with the gambling part but we can give you a glimpse into some of the nicest high-roller suites that Las Vegas has to offer. High roller suites are often used as free comps as a way to entice gamblers to come stay for a visit but many can also be reserved by the general public, assuming you’ve got the cash or a credit card handy with a high enough limit. Aria: Featured in the photo here, the Sky Villas include 2 and 3 bedroom versions with amazing views of Sin City as well as a massive, elegant staircase linknig the upstairs and downstairs areas. You’ll have your own personal concierge and private transportation to and from the airport, all for the low price of $3,500-$7,500 per night. The Venetian: It’s good to be the boss and the Chairman Suites at the Venetian treat you like the head of the board. The $25,000/night price tag gets you 10,000 square feet of room to relax in, a private salon and sauna, and even a butler and karaoke room. Yes, that’s right: your own karaoke room. The Palms: The Palms has carved out a niche for itself by catering to a younger, hipper crowd, with its 10,000 square foot Hardwood Suite taking that to an extreme. No, the $25,000/night suite isn’t decked out in rare Brazilian cherry wood; it has its own half-court basketball court as well as video games, pool tables, and everything else you need to play in style. Hard Rock:If you’re a high roller who is also into a little kink, the Provocateur Penthouse Suite comes stocked with S&M gear as well as a film projector in the bedroom. It’s also a high roller bargain if you stay during the week, with $3,500 weeknight rates that jump up to $7,500 on the weekends. Caesars Palace: The Spa Suites at Caesars are typically reserved as free comps for guests but for $2,000/night you can relax in an infinity bath with breathtaking views of Vegas and the Strip.

High Stakes Monks
13 May 2012 | By: Seth Shafer High stakes poker games have become more common around the world as the popularity of the game has increased but a recent high stakes game involving eight monks in South Korea has led to a scandal for the nation’s largest Buddhist sect. Not only were the eight high-ranking monks caught playing poker on video — reportedly with $900,000 changing hands during the 13 hour marathon poker session — but drinking and smoking as well, all of which is contrary to their Buddhist beliefs, with gambling outside of casinos in South Korea illegal as well. The monks were members of the Joyge order, which with ten million members is South Korea’s largest and most prominent Buddhist sect. The scandal has led to six senior monks offering to resign with the head monk of the order issuing the following statement: “We deeply apologize for the behavior of several monks in our order. The monks who have caused public concern are currently being investigated and will be punished according to Buddhist regulations as soon as the truth is verified by the prosecution.” The poker game took place during a retreat at a posh lakeside resort where the monks had gathered for a memorial service for a fellow member. It’s believed that a fellow monk secretly filmed the game, turning the footage over to the head monk. Rumors had swirled for years that high ranking monks of the order would in private smoke, drink, and gamble but the footage seen below is the first time that any real proof has been put forth: More Casino News 12 May 2012 There have been plenty of “can’t lose” systems put forward for winning at roulette over the years but one of the few men to actually pull off the feat Read More 09 May 2012 Most of us wonder from time to time what it’s really like to be a high roller in Vegas, as far as trading in playing $5/hand blackjack at Bally’s for Read More 06 May 2012 Macau is experiencing a mini building boom after a lull in new casinos opening, with the long-delayed Sands Cotai Central casino finally opening its d Read More 03 May 2012 Las Vegas obviously offers plenty for gamblers from around the world to enjoy but there are also a lot of great sights to see in the city away from th Read More 01 May 2012 The colorful O’Sheas casino closed its doors for the final time on May 1, with the parking garage imploded as work gets into full swing on the $500 mi Read More 28 April 2012 Despite several positive factors working in its favor — including unseasonably warm weather and the opening of the new Revel casino — the casinos th Read More

UFC Star Georges St-Pierre Joins 888
8 April 2012 | By: Seth Shafer UFC star Georges St-Pierre is set to tackle another sport as he rehabs an injury, signing with 888 as a brand ambassador in a deal that will see him take to the poker tables for the upcoming World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. St-Pierre released the following statement about the deal, which will also help raise money for the anti-bullying foundation that he has started: “I am very excited to become a global brand ambassador for Team 888poker. I have wanted to play poker for a while now as it is a great game of skill. It is not just your cards versus my cards; it is you versus your opponent.However, the most important aspect of my partnership with 888poker is that we are going to generate a great deal of money for my foundation that dedicates its efforts towards anti-bullying causes.” Georges St-Pierreis recovering from knee surgery and has been out of action in the octagon since he defeated Jake Shields in 2011. While a fight with UFC interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit upon his return, GSP will have his hands full at the poker tables until then as he looks to become the first UFC star to deliver a knockout at the felt at the WSOP. As far as other UFC stars who have tried their hand at poker, Chuck Lidell spent time on the ESPN televised table in 2008 during his brief run in the $10,000 buy-in WSOP Main Event and welterweight Mike Swick finished 10th in a smaller WSOP event in 2010 for a $34,708 payday. Georges St-Pierrejoins Shane Warne as prominent sports stars who have signed sponsorship deals with 888, which has successfully marketed its online poker games to a more casual, recreational demographic that tends to enjoy other sports as well.

Macau Still Booming

Macau Still Booming
30 March 2012 | By: Seth Shafer Despite facing several headwinds the gambling boom in Macau shows no signs of slowing, with business booming in March and a record for gambling revenues within reach for the former Portugese colony that is now by far the world’s top gambling destination by revenue. Early results for the first half of March showed revenues up 40% over the prior year, which would put March on pace to break the all-time record $3.35 billion that was wagered in Macau in October 2011. As far as market share, casinos operated by Stanley Ho’s SJM Holdings held about 28% of the Macau market, with Las Vegas Sands and Galaxy Macau both at 18%, and Wynn Macau (13%), Melco Crown (12%), and MGM China (11%) rounding out the rest of the pack. Macau has become an increasingly important source of revenues and profits for Las Vegas Sands, Wynn, and MGM, with results there now dwarfing the revenue taking in by their operations in Las Vegas (which traditionally was the primary focus for the Las Vegas-based gambling giants). Gambling revenues continue to grow in Macau despite the efforts of China to clamp down on junket operators that extend credit to high roller gamblers in Macau — primarily baccarat players — as well as a very public spat between Steve Wynn and former business partner Kazuo Okada centering on the possibility of bribes being paid to establish their operations in Macau. Macau’s success story is being emulated in other markets in Asia as well, with Singapore poised to also pass Las Vegas based on total gambling revenues per year — and with just two casinos currently operating in Singapore as opposed to the dozens that call Las Vegas home. Macau’s record growth likely won’t continue as some of the gambling appetite in Asia is sated but all signs point to the region solidly remaining the world’s top gambling destination based on revenue for decades to come, with its proximity to China guaranteeing a torrent of gambling dollars to continue to stream into Macau.

Top 5 Budget Gambling Getaways

Top 5 Budget Gambling Getaways
21 March 2012 | By: Seth Shafer Gambling fans have plenty of options when it comes to not just enjoying their favorite casino games but also taking advantage of promotions and deals for gambling getaways that won’t break their budgets. Below you’ll find our top 5 recommendations for a quick gambling getaway in the US that can be surpisingly affordable if you play your cards right. Atlantic City: Atlantic City isn’t exactly the most glamorous gambling destination these days with many casinos having seen better days but a quick weekend jaunt is cheaper than it’s ever been with some casinos offerig rooms for $20/night or less. The Atlantic Club Hotel and Casino (formerly the Hilton) is offering $19 hotel rooms on select nights for players club members with several other casinos offering rooms for $40/night or less in a desperate attempt to drum up more business as gambling revenues continue to slide in AC. Las Vegas:Convention traffic and overall revenues have stabliized in Las Vegas but the building boom in the early to mid 2000s has left an over-supply of hotel rooms on the market, which means visitors still pay substantially less than they did in the past even for stays at higher-end hotels and casinos such as the Palazzo and Wynn. Biloxi: Biloxi has grown into a major gambling destination with eight casinos currently operating there and offering attractive package deals in a bid to lure gamblers break to an area still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2006. Tunica: Like Biloxi, Tunica has quietly grown into one of the larger gambling areas in the US, with cheap room deals and easy access to sightseeing in Memphis offering plenty of gambling options as well as am alternative to the standard gambling trip to Vegas or AC. New Orleans: New Orleans is another affordable and fun US destination with several casinos to choose from, including Harrah’s and Boomtown Casino. Still recovering from Hurricane Katrina, trips to New Orleans are much more affordable than in the past and offer a chance to see the sights in one of the US’ most unique and distinctive cities.

Sin City to Come to Spain?

Sin City to Come to Spain?
27 March 2012 | By: Seth Shafer If Las Vegas gambling mogul Sheldon Adelson has his way Spain might be the next country to see huge Vegas-style resorts and casinos being built, with plans to build a huge $22 billion gambling mecca in Madrid or Barcelona. Both cities are vying for the right to host Adelson’s planned “Eurovegas” project, which would include six casinos and 12 hotels with over 36,000 rooms as well as numerous shops, bars, restaurants, and conference centers. Adelson (who operates casino giant Las Vegas Sands) will decide later in 2012 which city to build in assuming the deal is given the green light by Spanish authorities, which isn’t a guarantee as concerns have been raised about the massive scope of the project as well as concessions Adelson is demanding such as smoking being permitted in the casinos and no building limitations on the size and scope of the planned project. Adelson has had plenty of success breaking ground in new markets, with Las Vegas Sands’ operations in Macau and Singapore now bringing in the bulk of the company’s revenues and profits. Las Vegas Sands passed Caesars last year as the world’s largest gaming corporation, posting profits of $1.3 billion in 2011. Spain is one of the world’s top gambling markets with the majority of its citizens taking part in lotto, sportsbetting, and other types of gambling each year but casinos in Spain remain a relatively smaller and more sedate affair, without the huge, sprawling resort-style casinos and hotels seen in Las Vegas, Macau, and other locations. While the Spanish government has been resistant in the past to approving projects such as the one planned by Adelson the severe economic crisis has led many to believe that this time might be different. Unemployment in Spain remains above 20% and the economy is projected to shrink another 1.7% in 2012. Adding large casinos such as the “Eurovegas” project would not only provide an injection of new construction jobs but also tens of thousands of permanent jobs as well once the complex was constructed, with potentially billions in additional tax revenues collected from the millions of tourists that visit Spain each year from around the world.

Lucky 17 costs high roller 5 million ?
He is known as the highest roller of them all. And for good reason. Mike Ashley, the billionaire owner of Newcastle United, is the man who walked away from a casino earlier this year with 1.3million, won on the single spin of a roulette wheel with his lucky number 17. But if claims circulating among Londons big spenders are to be believed, Mr Ashleys winning streak is finally over. He is said to have recently lost 5million playing roulette and blackjack in one all-night session. Lady Luck can be fickle, said a source, but this was something else. Mike had been on a winning streak but it all unravelled on one long night. He even had breakfast at the club.
