I read the replies to my post about seeing Kevin at Ceaser's Palace
and enjoyed the comments, but there was another story that came over the radio when I was there. They said on the radio that Ben and Matt were at the Hard Rock Playing Blackjack and won $150,000, and gave it to the dealers. So I drove over to the Hard Rock and asked at the Craps table if this was true. God as my witness, you have never seen a bigger bunch of assholes in your life. The Dealers just glared at me and didn't answer. So I asked again, and they asked me if I was going to gamble or not, so I left. In Vegas most places have the Dealers pool their tips and split them up evenly, so for these assholes to to be such jerks about me asking, when they were about to get a big pay check, make me wounder if the story was true. At a different casino, a dealer told me that it was true, but what the radio didn't report was that Ben came in the next day and lost about $300,000. If this is true I think somebody better keep a eye on Ben because there are too many casino stories about him, and he might be developing a gambling problem. I guess that is nothing compaired to the Australia billionire that lost 20 million at The Bellagio while I was there
but still this is about the 4th gambling story I've heard about Ben.
Can anyone confirm this story?
