<<A good friend of mine just returned from LV and told me that he had won a
$2000.00 jackpot
at one of the off-strip casinos and was told by the floor person who took
his ID that they
were no longer obliged to with-hold on jackpot wins for Canadians as of the
beginning of
this year. He got paid the full amount and left a VERY happy fellow. Could
anyone please
confirm that this is true as I have looked for info all over the internet
and cannot find
confirmation of this.>>
This was posted in early January. I too can't find any confirmation of
this. Any Canadian here that can confirm or deny this???
