Actually she couldnt. If she brought tens of thousands of singles to a car dealership they would call the NSA, IRS and Homeland Defense before giving her the keys to anything.

There are plenty of spots where you can buy a car without any hassle. How do you think drug dealers who have zero verifiable income buy their rides? I'm talking brand new Escalades and even nicer shit. Obviously legit dealers won't even entertain a stripper with a bag of cash, but there are plenty of spots where you can buy any car you want with no questions asked what so ever.

Not in an exclusive club like King of Diamonds, nowhere near it, but yes I've been to clubs. Yes I understand markups. I don't think I've ever paid more than 3x the going retail shelf price for any sort of booze.

I don't enjoy strip clubs, but I've been to KoD .. it's worth the markup just to go once. That place is really like stepping into a different world.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XWt9bJUCXY&feature=related video of Mayweather making it rain. If he did that with even 20's it would have less effect. The point of making it rain is to keep it going and going (and going) if you showered strippers for an hour non stop with $20's you'd be out millions.

Pretty disgusting representation of a pretty awful lifestyle, IMHO.

He's rich as shit, but on the flip side he's given million to charities. And has bought new computers and text books for entire schools. I suppose if I had 100 million or whatever he has. I'd be looking for new ways to have fun with some of it lol.

Yeah that tip was official so most of it went to the hotel, its just an easy way for them to add 20% profit.
The waitress or whatever probably got a couple hundred, tops.

Those automatic gratuities go to the server. None goes to the establishment. Occasionally some is split off for non-service workers as "tip out." That waiter, waitress, or multiple servers walked out with $30k that night.

And, unfortunately for them, it left a paper trail (the receipt and charge records) so they are required to report the entire amount to the IRS and pay taxes on it, as opposed to cash tips where it can't be proved so the IRS only requires you to declare 8% of server sales as taxable tip income.

And everything else was marked up 10,000 percent anyway.

Even for a millionaire that night was a total waste of money.

lol You may have a point, but even strip clubs have their maximum prestige places where you aren't supposed to act as though you're at the local Deja Vu.

making it rain is what it is all about. magic city or king of diamonds that is the code of conduct.

I been to Caesars. And while it sucked balls I doubt the "lost" a billion dollars. They were probably used to 5 billion a year and are now down to 4 billion a year so their average profit dropped 1 billion, but I dont think they are giving up money from savings or anything.

And if they are, fuckem!
Its their own damn fault. They make those monstrosities to human civilization and then whine when they cant steal enough? FUCK OFF!
 
I was at tryst for IBM impact last month and everything was free.. well, at least for me, IBM picked up the tab. Was doing Grey goose and red bull most of the evening...
