(Fwd) Team Play Incident at Mandalay Bay

********************************

A lot of (hot & harsh four letter) words were exchanged last
weekend when a local team arrived (about 1pm) to play the
$1 fifty play machine, and it was already being played.

The locals demanded (and had harassed the current players) that
the non-locals be removed as they (the current players) "had been
on the machine for at least two hours, and it was now their
turn". This demand didn't sit well with the high-limit management.
The machine was later shut down, and the download options
disabled.

Management asked the local team to leave or be forever
trespassed. That's how bad it got.

A slot attendant later told me that management had been waiting
for an opportunity to bar this particular team (they never
tipped, complained all the time, were rude), and their session
coin in was usually a meager $30k-$40k, compared to the non
locals weekend session coin in of $1.5 to $3 million.

I thnk it's completely inappropriate for a local team to come into a place like Mandalay and harass non-locals who are playing a high limit machine. More especially if they were rude.
How ridiculous!

A place like that is supposed to be high end, and to have these lowlife rude demanding "locals" parading around cursing, etc - is completely out of line. I hope they did ban them.

They deserved to be barred / 86'ed from there. What a couple of
morons! You don't cause a scene when it's the only decent play there
and expect management not to do something.

I am reminded of but one line from the film Clerks.

Agreed, and harrassing a current player -it is first come first served!
