Beat: Dude loses $127 million in Vegas
 

On the plus side, I bet he got some really good comps.



During a year-long gambling binge at the Caesars Palace and Rio casinos in 2007, Terrance Watanabe managed to lose nearly $127 million.

The run is believed to be one of the biggest losing streaks by an individual in Las Vegas history. It devoured much of Mr. Watanabe's personal fortune, he says, which he built up over more than two decades running his family's party-favor import business in Omaha, Neb. It also benefitted the two casinos' parent company, Harrah's Entertainment Inc., which derived about 5.6% of its Las Vegas gambling revenue from Mr. Watanabe that year.

He doesn't have a problem. He could stop any time.

Holy crap.

Also, this says a lot about Steve Wynn:

Wonder how much his family hates hit

that's pretty awesome of Wynn, he could easily pretend he just never noticed one guy and get away with it just fine

I noticed the Wynn thing too, class act by him. But seriously, how much is he worth? Wantabe's money wouldn't significantly change anything for him.
