Three life long best friends go to Vegas together from Massachusetts.  One is a college teacher for the deaf, another is a clothing store owner and is deaf himself, the third is a software developer who always aspired to be a professional gambler.  What is interesting about the third one is he has a huge passion for security systems and counter intelligence. 

Well they are in Vegas and all of them lost their behind in gambling for several days.  It is their last night, so the college teach and the clothing store owner want to go to a strip bar and get drunk.  Those two approach the third and he elects to stay behind in the casino hotel they are staying at.  So later that evening the two go on to the strip bar and Mr. Gambler stays put.  Later in the evening he goes downstairs to the casino and withdraws his last $400.00 on his credit card he is able to get. 

Well he wins $250,000.00.  He is up in the room and counting his good fortune.  He notices the smoke detector and gets a weird feeling at the red blinking light.  So he takes it apart to check for a camera.  He always heard the casino had cameras in the rooms.  He didn't find any.  So he packs up all his money and wraps it up tight.  He stashes it in his luggage and crawls into bed.  He has no plans to tell his buddies as he has no plans to share his good fortune and they always talked about how if any of them won a jackpot or a sizable amount, they would split it up amongst themselves.

The next morning they all wake up.  Their flight leaves at noon time and just before their flight, Mr. Gambler tells his two best friends, go on and go back I will catch up with you tomorrow I am throwing up and too ill to fly today.  So he books a flight that gets in right after midnight and would put him home at about 2:30 am.  He arrives home and check both houses of his best friends and the deaf one who owns the clothing store lives next door and the teacher lives across the street.

He goes to his garage and gets a shovel and proceeds to dig a hole in his back yard and bury the cash.  The following day the gambler wakes up and is walking through his yard.  He sees an empty hole right where he buried his treasure.  Then he looks around and sees footprints in the snow leading to his deaf friend right next door!

He runs inside his house and grabs his pistol and runs across the street to his other friends house, the college teacher of the deaf.  He bangs and bangs on the door until his friends opens the door.  He tells him, come on and drags him by the arm across the street to the deaf guys house.  Tell this S.O.B. that if he doesn't give me my $250k back I will kill him right now and cocks the trigger back.  The teacher communicated with the deaf guy by sign language which the gambler could not read.  The deaf friend told the teacher, "OMG chill out, I was not going to keep it, I only did it to teach Mr. Greedy a lesson.  It is buried under the large tree in the back corner of my property".

The teacher turns to Mr. Gambler and tells him, "He is not going to say anything, and he said he would rather die first then tell you anything"!  The teacher walks out of the house and hears a gun shot.

I did a search and there are articles out there that state that hotels are big buyers of camera and surveillance equipment which is fairly obvious.  But there are also articles talking about how it's inside knowledge that there are elements of watching in a voyeuristic way within the industry.  My understanding is that in many jurisdictions the inclusion of audio surveillance/ recording is the primary determining factor in legality.

What a concern states in public and what really happens may be two different matters.  Given the sheer number of rooms worldwide, it is very likely to be happening somewhere.  I don't think established hotels of size would be likely to risk rigging up rooms.

For anyone that did not know, this was a joke, with an analogy or two.  Okay, its almost Asian New Year, I shouldn't even be on here, but a couple of PM's asked me to reconsider and one of the Mods would like to repost everything.  I see no reason, still think all of you are the best and I have no problem with anything said except those that attacked me and accused me of maybe knowing how to deal but nothing else and also being out of tune/place with the casino in general.  Okay that's enough venting for really nothing.  I appreciate your encouragement Esoito but there is no loss whatsoever that I left.

It's a favorite move of mine and a lot to angle in with a new thread.   I used to post a lot on another forum - completely different topic and some of those spin off threads were outrageous.
