Well, this is my pathetic story for the weekend. For those of us who like to drink and enjoy themselves bit. This is what happened to me..... Was in Vegas this pass weekend...arrived Thursday night with the wife and having a good time. Wasn't suppose to leave till late Saturday evening via Southwest Airlines. I was playing no limit hold'em poker and was up about 1K. Looked at my watch and realized that I was leaving in about 2 hours to the airport. Anyways, had a couple too many Mai Tais (i can't spell it), and realized that I have to get to my room and pack up and leave. Well, I went to the restroom to recycle my beverage and realize that I didn't return to my table to cash out.....F*** Me.....and didn't realize it till I got to the airport that my wallet was kind of light. I had plans for that money too... It was going to go towards submissions and I felt like crap all the way home on the flight. I don't think I'll return to Vegas (yea right!) again nor will I drink. Just a really ***tty weekend. I'm really bummed now cos I had about 70+ cards to ship off for grading and now it's going to have to wait image Hope everyone have a great and safe weekend.

    Guys, I've done some pretty bad things but this has left me feeling like a big pile of crap.
    I kept trying to play it over and over and realize that I've never went to the cage to cash out.
    I even called back the casino the tell the exact table # and seat I was in and explained what
    happened, but there's no record of it. Oh well, I've learned my lesson.

    They do.

    But, they only share the content when it is in their interest to do so;
    or, when a judge says they must.

    I like to gamble. Drinking and wagering is not gambling; it is a sure
    recipe for losing. 1K is a cheap lesson, if it never happens again.

    Strange....long story, last month my buddy started to black out and went for a "walk" with all his money on the table in the Mirage. Security had to escort him back to the suite after they found him in the stairwell. His money was "waiting" for him in the poker room the next day. Where were you playing?

    I would call again... :-)

    When they pick you up from the table for being away so long, they put your money in a plastic bag and label it with table and seat number. If you left it, they will have a bag for you somewhere. They never keep that money. Try calling back again. Your money is somewhere.

    Rgeardless of how stupid you were to have left it there, that is YOUR money. If you raise more of a stink about it and actually get somebody to look for you and look at the tapes if they can't find the bag, they will see exactly what happened. They can't just take it from you.

    I agree with above(Sadly the Mind altering substance part too image

    I was at a Table and got separated from my seat & chips for a day/two.

    A few forms, Photocopies, Sigs, and I had my Stack back!

    Fast forward to current, casino's are growing here in Upper MI. Anyway...
    Know several who hold various positions, I have heard them finding many things people have walked away from.
    Don't quit calling! Best Wishes

    They have your money waiting for you. Call the pokerroom and explain what happened. If you can remember closely what you had and your seat, they will return it to you. Every casino has this process and you aren't the first one to leave money on the table and have it picked up. Happens more often that you think, although I can't recall anyone flying away with out it. Good luck.

    they should have everything recorded and they should have your money.

    booze and poker absolutely don't mix.

    Wow. Very tough story, very tough.

    Ive left my wallet in odd places, but never 1 Large. As a solace, print out the cards you were going to purchase with the money, then burn them in the back yard Viking funeral style

    I was thinking more about this. One of my friends works in LV
    and he says that you should contact the Chief of Security
    and tell him/her what happened.

    The casino definitely has the tape. If the crew was paying
    attention, there is a chance that the chips were picked up
    and logged in. If a bad guy/gal snatched them, the video will
    show that, too.

    My friend says this is a VERY common scenario, and that the
    casinos are used to dealing with it.
