One of my best trips ever to the stardust (wish it was still there) got drunk and lost 1400 of 1500 by early in the evening. I was not very happy and picked up a racing forum for the next day and got up early and studied. When my buddy came by the next afternoon I had turned the $100 into over $5000 at gulfstream. We partied that night. Now I leave money in the safe so I have time to think about it as I go to the room to get more money.
It was my second trip to Vegas (some 15 years ago). We were on a psuedo-honeymoon (about 3 months after getting married). I had established a line of credit at the Flamingo for $2000. "Line of credit" is a misnomer though. You basically have to have the money in a bank account, and you settle before you check out, so it only helped by not running to the ATM and carrying large amounts of cash. I sat down to play while they made up our room. An hour later, and I had lost the entire $2000. Then, I decided to withdraw the actual $2000 cash that I needed to pay the markers and proceeded to lose it as well - all in the first hour. We were there for a week.
Woke up the next morning and my wife realized she had a hundred dollar bill in her pocket leftover from the cab ride. We basically played quarter blackjack on the machines over the next week, making enough each session to get food and little else. That $100 lasted the whole time. When we checked out, they asked about the markers, and I said I was heading there next. We went home instead.
A month or so later I get a summons/citation or whatever from the Vegas bad check unit. I think you have up to a year of making regular payments to make it right with no criminal charges being filed. They add some penalty and admin fee, then split the rest into 12 payments. No big deal really.
It was a fun trip - at least looking back after many years.

went to ac with a guy, i am sure many here know of, and he was broke within an hour. went to find his host and lost everything that he gave him on credit. then went next door and did the same thing.
when he went to vegas he brought nothing, whatever he needed the hotel gave him clothes, toothpaste, music, everything . even got a bag to take everything home in. he went to prison soon after.
