The one thing that going to a real casino taught me is that, despite what Hollywood would have us believe, casinos are not full of impeccably dressed classy people, but very old retirees that look like they only have a few years left to live, and disheveled men who look less well dressed than me in my PJs at home, who are gambling away large sums of money in a fit of anxiety and addiction.
Really depressing crap.
And yet Donald Trump still managed to lose money somehow, which should have really told us something about his supposed “business accumen”.
I associate my time in Las Vegas mostly with elderly people with oxygen tanks, chain smoking while they put coin after coin in the slot machine. Just sad.
Now you just hook your debit card to the machine and you don’t even have to put a coin in!
And they took the pull handles away because they can siphon money out of retirement accounts much faster if the victim player only needs to press a button.
