It was sneakers and blue jeans and a long sleeve pullover for me. Why did she pick me? Well, it's not because I look like I'm rich and I certainly don't dress up when I play in a casino. She sat there because I was the only guy playing video poker in this particular row of machines and I was her 'mark.' She wasn't there to play video poker, I later found out. She put in some money to start playing, and to be honest I don't know how much but it could have been just a five dollar bill. So, here I am late on a Saturday night playing video poker, and a nice looking lady - well dressed, mid 40's, holding a handbag and looking like a typical lady gambler at Caesars Palace - takes a set at the video poker machine next to me. This weekend I found that is one technique they use. I didn't know that you could also find them sitting at a video poker machine playing.
I know there are hookers (prostitutes, professionals, ladies and men for hire) in casinos but I thought that for the most part they were in bars, or clubs or were available via a phone call.
I guess I don't get out much, but I certainly had an interesting conversation playing video poker at Caesars Palace over the weekend.
