Kid at Riviera Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 A few years ago i was playing poker at the Bellagio and a couple hours in, Jennifer Tilly and her big D's sit down at my table. She played a few hands and lost all her money. Kinda chuckled, got up and left. I told the rest of the guys at the table they could stop sucking in their guts. lol That's the only time I've ever seen a famous person gamble.

FISHHEAD Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Quite a few, but living and gambling in Vegas for many years, this is going to occur. Hell, just last month I played poker with Mathy Mendelson, aka, Mathdotcom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol Diabler Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Saw George Karl and Rick Majerus (RIP) playing blackjack at Mandalay Bay. Those 2 took up the whole table. Saw Dennis Rodman in Bally's. This is when he had his short stint with the Lakers towards the end of his career. Also saw Eddie George in Bally's on a separate occasion. He was with a SMOKING blonde chick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid at Riviera Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 also I've seen Mayweather countless times walking through MGM and other casinos, but never gambling. He loves to eat at Fatburger. He's there once a night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

po69 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Don't know if these are superstars, but certainly Jennifer Tilly wouldn't qualify either. But I have knocked out of a poker tournament Men Nguyen (twice), Daniel Negraneu and Greg Raymer. Famous people seen in casinos are way too numerous. In a big local home poker game that I sometimes attend, baseball players like Kevin Millar, Ryan Dempster and Jay Bruce are regulars. Not sure that they even count as famous though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 There have been a bunch over the years. - 7 card stud with Redd Foxx at Ballys - worst celeb player I've seen but a blast to play with. Would play Keno constantly while at the table. - Hold-em with Barry Switzer and Emmit Smith at Tropicana - both were pretty bad. - 8 or better Hi-Lo Split with Telly Savalas at Dunes - best celeb player ever played with. He'd stumble in well after midnite, play a couple hours max and be done. - Blackjack with Charles Barkley at Harrah Tahoe. During the celebrity golf tourney there were too many HOFers to list but Sir Charles was running the table. At one point he didn't like the way I was betting so he took $200 off my stack and put it in my square. It was fine with me and of course the bet lost. Most interesting was playing Pai Gow Poker with Mini-Me Vern Troyer at Mandalay Bay. It's the one time that I sat down at a table simply because of who was playing. He was on a custom scooter and had a helper who took care of a lot of things for him. He was a real nice guy but you could see how difficult his life must be. He seemed practically immobile on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsox24 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've also played horses with Pete Rose. Played about 5 hands of blackjack with Tim McGraw (no sign of Faith Hill anywhere) Played poker in a WSOP event at the same table as Kevin Pollak for about 8 hours.
