LOL, I love your investment in that large screen TV!
Actually it was Barley's money that paid for my food and beer tab. My wife had won $300 playing VP just before kick off, so she gave me $100 to eat, drink and be merry.
Then she left to go get the kids while I watched the game and won the TV.

Was on a junket to Biloxi. Put $40 in a $1.00 VP machine and hit for $4,000 in about 5 minutes.
Another time at the MGM in Vegas was heading to the room to shower for a meeting with some internet friends. Had just been in town a couple hours. Put $50 in a $1.00 VP and hit a progressive royal for $6,700+ in about 15 minutes.
Here is one for the books, on my sister & my 1st trip to Vegas. She found a $100 chip on the floor at the Mirage. We were walking out of the theater after seeing Sigfreid & Roy and she just saw it laying on the floor next to a block of closed tables, so there wasn't anyone else around who could have dropped it, so she picked it up. She used it to buy her husband one of those leather bomber jackets from Planet Hollywood, he was glad she did!
One time at the Four Queens I was playing craps started with only $20, low rolling it that night, and left the table an hour or so later with the $20 I started with plus $100 from the guy next to me that shared some of his winnings with anyone that rolled winning numbers for him. Glad I was able to roll the hardways that he was betting on. [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

A previous secretary of mine claims her mother found a $500 chip on the floor when she went to see Sigfried and Roy - so she CLAIMS!
I also had a guy flip me a $100 coin once while playing craps at Excalibur. It was about 5:00AM and I had rolled for about 45 minutes. I kept rolling 6's and 8's. This guy was going nuts. When I finally sevened-out, I decided it was time to go to bed so I gathered up my coins to leave and as I was leaving, this guy flips me a $100 coin and says, "thanks, you made me about $5,000 bucks!"
