Quick bio:

Born n raised in Vegas. Parents were from Cuba. Pops started dealing Roulette in Cuba when he turned 16. My parents came to Vegas in the 60's. My father continued to deal until he retired in 2005. He was a casino dealer for 50 years.

I had a few jobs between the ages of 15 (throwing newspapers) until I turned 22, when I quit my job at an auto body shop to go to dealing school. On Valentines Day of 1994, I started pitching cards at a $1 blackjack table at Binion's Horseshoe downtown.

The last day I ever dealt was on 4/20/2007. 5 days after my gf of EXACTLY 5 years left me. The day she left me was our 5 year anniversary. I met her on my blackjack table, right there at the Paris. My last dealing job.

I was a dealer for 12 years. My father for 50. He's told me some pretty crazy stories and I've seen some pretty crazy **** myself.

I've seen a female dealer get urinated on.

I've witnessed a man pissing in a slot machine hopper.

I've watched as security tackled a guy while he was taking a dump on the casino floor.

I've even seen a cocktail waitress come to work so loaded that she forgot to put on the lower half of her uniform!

That's just some mildly crazy ****. So.. whether you're nice to me or not, I just ask that you ask good questions and try not to make them so much about me. This is my chance to tell some good stories. I hope you get some enjoyment itt.

Thanks.

One of my favorites was a friend of my dad's.. a real partier.. had surveillance write him up one time. Reason given on "the warning slip".. Dun dun dun dunnn..

"Not" having mousse in his hair!

Dude was on like a 3 day binger (and was looking pretty rough). I remember how funny he was when we gave him a ride home that night..

This guys a jealous prick because of all the pussy I get!
So and so shouldn't even talk, that bald piece of ****! My balls have more hair than he's ever had.
They're just miserable muther****ers.. pissed off because they're not me. It's my hair they go after.. I'd **** em all up.. and their wives! (he literally assassinated every Riviera emloyee) He was talking mad ****.

He never shut his mouth the entire ride home. AND THEN He literally fell out of my dad's car as my dad pulled up to his house. I just saw his arm opening the door and then he just rolled right out onto the ground

That **** was hilarious!! He he got up and just started cursing at my dad. Me and him were just laughing our asses off!



Umm.. best place to [WATCH FOR] hookers? Caeser's Palace is like a ground zero. Bellagio, Flamingo, Harrah's.. all rights there (usually inside the casinos in proximity of the bars).

[We don't tell people where to score drugs.]

Ran out of time lol

Only casino imo worthy of bringing back is the D.I. (Desert Inn). That **** was baller.. Pure high class.. Before the Mirage or Bellagio were even ideas. The guy who bought the place.. A true freak.. Howard Hughes.. helped open the flood gates. The D.I. died with the Mobster era. The corporate giants drove them out with their limitless funds (and much stricter pre-employment background checks and drug tests).

It wasn't about who you knew anymore. That **** died out right when I started dealing.

Re: Liberation! What? Ask me q's about being a dealer..

LoL I was kidding about the hookers and blow :P Sorry if I offended the world. I don't do those things.
Caesar's, really? I've played there a few times and noone ever came on to me... maybe I didn't look like i had money. Only places I can think of are.... Sahara (no longer around) and under the monorail... like every entrance. But I've only been to vegas 3 times what do I know.

No mousse in the hair? WTF?

It's not very common to be approached. They're often as scared as you are.

I've only ever had one customer that blew up on me..

$5 bj table (3 spots are playing) and this guy is losing about $5k.

"Hey, I see you're not wearing a name tag. So I can call you whatever I want, right?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Then I'm gonna call you Fred Flintstone because you look like him."

"Fair enough."

Now this guy goes on a massive heater. Wins all his money back.

"That's right Fred, pay me!"

The guy is a total stiff.

As I'm being relieved by the next dealer, this other player says "thank you _____ , you're a great dealer." obviously a reg that knew me.

I tap the tip on the rack and say "Thank you sir. That shows some class."

Now the jerk says "**** you Fred! I know you're talking about me, you fat prick!"

I tell the guy "My name is ____ and I was talking to this gentleman, not you. Please watch your mouth. There's a lady at this table and ladies next door."

Now comes the pit manager (ex college football player walking with a crutch - this guy's old school and pretty tough)..

"What's going on here!?"

"Man, **** him! Your dealer made a ****ing comment about me not tipping him! You want some of me, punk!?"

"You need to tell this guy to watch his mouth.. Before I go shut it for him!"

"Yeah, well I'd break that up real fast. Now wait for me at the end of the pit for me so I can talk to you."

"Yeah! Get the **** outta here!"

My final line "If I wanted to take you out, him and the crutch ain't gonna stop me *******) I'll still beat your ass!" and I leave.

My boss "What the **** is wrong with you?"

Me "You should have told the guy to watch his mouth and had me apologize before it got out of hand. I almost went over the table on that guy."

My boss "He's a friend of mine. You're lucky you didn't do that. Then I'd had to jump in."

Me "Like I said.. How are you gonna stop me? With your crutch!?"

My boss (laughs) "You're lucky I have this bum knee or I'd beat your ass right here and now!"

Me "I am lucky. Can I go on break now?"

"Yeah, you'll be on the wheel when you come back."


Shift manager gave me a lol one day suspension the next day.

Thanks guys. Glad to hear that someone is enjoying my stories.


My next story will most likely be about how I got my first dealing job and a little bit about my dad's relationship with the Binions.

Haha thanks. For sure I'll get to more stories tomorrow's. I've been up all night reformatting my desktop. What a pain in the ass.


Money wise, here's what I made dealing cards:

Averages of gross income (pre-rape)

1st job Horseshoe - $20k/yr

2nd job AZ Charlie's - $30k/yr

3rd job Paris - $58k/yr

(dealt for 12 years.. 3, 3 and 6 years ^ respectively)


I miss the money and the ever-changing scenery (eye candy) but I DO NOT MISS THE JOB!

JUST TO BE CLEAR.. FOR ME.. ABOVE EXCEPTIONS EXCLUDED.. BEING A DEALER SUCKED ASS! but the money is good
