If Michael's saying it, he won a [expletive] ton. Michael doesn't trifle with hundies. He probably was served a tasting menu meal table side.

So, like $50? $100? How much money can you win out there?

There's not really a limit.

If I came back from Vegas up $1 (including expenses), I'd feel like a goddamn hero.

It was nice of Michael to promise a hundred dollar bill to every member of the 20,000 post club as thanks for making GRB what it is today. You're a good egg, Michael, and a gracious winner.

Considering that would entail probably winning about $500/day, yeah. That'd be a good trip.

See, I'd be happy just coming out ahead for my expenses incurred while I was there. I would exclude airfare/hotel/show tickets, since those are paid in advance*.

*Yes I realize it's not technically true for the hotel, as they may instead just put a hold on your card and actually charge it after you check out, and technically for the shows it could be a spontaneous thing where you buy the tickets from a scalper an hour or two before the event, but the overall premise is the same.

So if I could leave Vegas having paid for food/entertainment with my daily winnings, I'd be quite happy.
