casino - Casino hotel entertainment
|
|
A casino with the right environment is one where it always feels alive and kicking' no matter what the hour is`.
The casino has to be timeless, meaning there is no sense of time within the gambling kingdom. Same as the
shopping center in the famous Venisian casino hotel in which the ceiling is colored in special colors that
together with the right lighting always give you the feeling that it's 14:00pm. This fact for instance
gives you a better feeling when you have started shopping for shoes at 9am and hours later you still
doing the same thing but since time has stopped in this little Venetzia, your shopping for hours never
happened. In the pro casino the effect is the same. However, instead you are buying little colorful coins.
Hours later when you find yourself buying coins for the god only knows how many times, you look around you,
and everything in the casino looks the same. The time inside the casino has stopped! The brightness of the
lights hasn't changed since you came in, you don't know if it's dark or light outside because the casino
has no windows, and the casino's clientele looks the same because of the free alcohol supply and endless
oxygen they inhale through the ventilation system. Everything around you in the casino is yelling "go on,
nothing has changed and the one thing you will never find on the walls of the casino is?a clock.
The casino hotels are usually divided to a number of areas when the main parts are the room floors and
the casino floor. In the casino hotels you have the regular tables, black jack, roulette and all other
gambling games co existing with all of the different kinds of gambling machines.
The luxurious among the casino hotels follow the previous meaning of casino, meaning that in addition
to a casino they also have a nightclub where the gamblers could listen to music and dance. Most of the
luxurious casino hotels also have great restaurants in which they employ the biggest and most known
chefs to help them continue the casinos' magical influence into an equally magical dinner.
The casino hotels are a mastered illusion. Everything is made for the gambler to live the casino dream,
the gambling adrenalin, and the excitement of the numerous possibilities which the cash register of the
casino holds. It's common knowledge that the one thing that connects all the casino visitors together
is the dream of easy money. The possibility to walk into a casino a regular person with a respectable
yet pretty average salary, and leave the casino rolling in tons of sweet smelling cash.
The casino hotel entertainment options are numerous. The casino hotel will do all that is in its power
to make sure that the gambler has no reason to leave the premises. The casino hotel, aside from its
nightclub and restaurants produces highly invested and grandiose theatre productions which supply
the gambler with maximum entertainment. The casino hotels have different entertainment programs for
their guests, some casino hotels also, in addition to their grandiose production, have comedy shows,
magic shows, different exhibitions and special events. The casino hotels make sure to have
interesting activities which will be different in character so every person will be able to
find some kind of entertainment that suits his/her in order for them to spend their free
time away from the gambling tables and slot machines and never leave the casino hotel.
The casino hotels also have shopping centers where the gambler can find whatever his heart desires.
The big casino hotels have different accessories stores, clothing stores, shoe stores, and different
kinds of gift shops. Again, the casino hotel will do its best to create an environment which will
supply the gambler with everything he needs in order to keep him from leaving the borders of the
casino hotel which he is staying in.
As mentioned, the casino hotel is a magical combination of good food, good shopping, good
entertainment and other leisure time activities, and of course a well designed, vivid casino.

casino - The casino illusion- winners and losers
|
|
The illusion of the easy money which the casino pro is able to supply its visitors starts in the mind of the gambler
and the rest is done by the casino hotel staff. The personal treatment that the casino visitors get from the
hotel casino employees, such as cocktail waitresses dressed in little dresses walking around offering free
alcohol to all the gamblers. This treatment is given to all the gamblers in the casino. However in every
casino hotel there is a special space which is entirely dedicated to the high rollers. The high rollers
are the people who don't enter the casino hotel in order to make their average monthly salary into something
more exciting. The high rollers are the people with already big money who visit the casino hotel for different
reasons. The main reasons for the big money people which make the "big sharks" visit the casino is the
adrenalin rush and the social entertainment which the casino experience supplies.
Whether you are an average person making an average salary who dreams of winning some money so you can
take the family to that trip around the world you always dreamed about through the casino or a billionaire
who comes to play with his money in search of excitement and some adrenalin rush which is missing from
your day to day life- there are always winners and losers. The casino is a big risk for its visitors.
Entering the casino is entering a world which often makes people forget their limits. Yes, part of
the casino charm is its ability to turn a rich man into a poor man and a poor man into a rich one.
The casino is known to be a location where people leave their fortune and continue to roam the casino
world looking for what they lost and hoping to get it back. So after they left all their liquid
assets at the hands of the casino owners they start using the rest of their assets until they
often go into debts which they can not pay back.
History is filled with stories about rich and successful artists, business man and all other
forms of fortune owners who lost everything to the casino and their gambling passion. The
illusion of the casino is so strong that the casino reality makes the gamblers forget the
other reality which exists outside the walls of the casino, and that's when the borders are erased and the troubles begin.
The illusion of the casino gambling is so strong that the gamblers keep playing thinking that
at every second they will win their money back and all they lost to the casino will once again become their property.
If the gambler is a regular in the casino or a well known property owner and he/she has been loosing money to the
point where they have no more liquid cash to withdraw and the non liquid assets are already bound to the casino
debts, the casino management can always choose to give the gambler house credit.
The house credit is given to the gamblers with the right reputation. The casino wants to know that the
person receiving the credit is a person that will have the ability to pay it back to the casino.
The need to win money and own that world of illusions provided by the vivid colors of the casino and the
rest of the casino environment tricks often attract con artists who are looking to make a quick buck.
Different tricks and ways to learn the ways the casino machines and games work were practiced in casinos
around the world since the casino became an establishment and even before that. As there were always people
who cheated in card games there were and always will be people who try to cheat the casino and strip it
from its money in ways that honesty never passed by them.
To win, as always and as in every field in life is always easier then loosing. The winners get their money
in chips- the winner takes the chips to the casino cashier. The winners leave the chips at the casino
cashier and instead the winner gets a pack of cash. Sounds simple no?!

Since the casino is so open for all kinds of cons with different ways of cheating, the casino security is very
active and very aware of all the tricks which gamblers use.
In the casino, there are many cameras which watch every corner of the casino looking for anything out of
the ordinary. If the casino security notices that a certain gambler in the casino is on an unusual winning
strick, the casino security will look at the gambler closer in their monitors in order to identify any
unusual activity. A security man will stand close to the table of the winning gambler to try and catch
any suspicious activity which the camera is unable to.
In every movie featuring a casino scene we are aware of the strong and serious security that is located
inside the casino. The most memorable one is probably the scene from the movie "Ocean11" when Elliot
Gold is telling George Clooney and Brad Pitt about the people who tried robbing a casino and were always
caught before they had the chance to make one step outside the casino doors. In that scene Gold is
describing how the robbers took the money and then we see them make a run for the entrance and being caught every time.
The casino security caught many different devices which gamblers used in order to win. When a gambler is caught
in cheating on casino grounds there are many different ways for the casino security to handle that matter.
The matter can be handled by the police or within the casino walls by the pro casinos' private walls.
Casino security people have to deal with many different issues inside the casino. Their problems don't stop at
the gambling table where they have to pay attention to the actions of the casino dealer and the casino gambler.
The casino security people have to deal with many different situations such as: catching nearly every type of
felon, watching drunks doing things such as hiding their money, jewelry and wallet in a fire hose, wall cabinet
before entering their room near it, catching bats that were flying in the halls or in the casino. It even comes
down to practicing CPR and administered defibrillation, responding to almost every sickness or injury that a
casino guest could have. Casino security even deals in assisting people in performing a wedding ceremony at
dawn in a fountain, or being brought in front of an Elvis prestly looking priest. With the many celebrities
visiting casinos around the world, the casino security people also come to deal with escorting famous stars
and politicians to their different activities in the casinos and around it. The casino security people also
handle more male and female drunks than an average working bartender. Catching flashers in the casino and
found folks wandering bare ass in the halls after too many free alcohol drink while trying to deal with the
wins or the looses which they experienced that day. The casino security people also have to calm irate guests
after other employees got them worked up about one thing or another. Looking at the guests Identification
cards and making sure to confiscate phony ones on sixteen year olds kids trying to gamble in the casino
before they have reached the aged which makes it legal to do so. Fighting fires, chasing down bomb threats,
traffic control and line control, and all other mishaps, law breaks, robberies, and everything that happens
in and around the casino. The job of the casino security officer is never over and has many branches of
responsibility in many different areas.
The security officers employed in a casino have to go through a number of training programs in order to function
in their daily complicated job in the casino which requires them to be able to do many different things.
The casino security staff training requirements varies from a casino to casino. Some of the classier casinos
train you in everything, CPR, firefighting, first aid, law, handcuffing and so on. In other casinos which don't
take their status as seriously, the security guard is hardly trained except for a week of orientation training
that is added to the regular orientation training which is given by the casino hotel to all the different
kinds of new employees who are added to the casino hotel staff. The casino hotel security gaurs also has
to go through a Techniques of Alcohol Management course which will teach him how to deal with the numerous
number of cases dealing with drunk people he will encounter working in the casino.
In addition to the orientation, all security officers in the casino hotel have to familiarize with their weapons
every six months. All of the casino security guards are required to have a sheriff's card and a TAM card. The
casino hotel security guard has to be over twenty one and have a driver license which supports that fact.
This is because of the fact that all security guards working in the hotel will also be working in the casino
and in order to be legal on the casino grounds the a person has to be over twenty one.
The casino hotel security guards Used to always carry a weapon all through the shift. Now, because of different
lawsuits, it's up to the discretion of the casino owner, if security carries them or not. Some casinos
instruct their security guards to never carry, some casinos instruct their security guards to only carry
on the outside of the building, and some casinos, very few of them, instruct their security guards
to carry their weapons all the time.

casino - Tourism in casino area
|
|
The casino is also very good for its surroundings. A casino will bring tourism to the city or town it is located
in. Vegas is all about gambling, after gambling was pronounced legal in Nevada in the year 1931, Las Vegas
became a major tourism spot. Numerous casinos, hotels and different nightlife places were built and people
started gambling and enjoying the nightlife which surrounded the casino life.
In many places around the world gambling and casinos are considered to be illegal. So people from all
over the world fly to different places in which the gambling is legal and a casino is considered to be
a legit place to spend some precious time.

Many casinos, especially in Europe will arrange to pay for the gamblers' air fair in order for him
to get to the casino. The casino management is once again looking to make it easier for the gambler
to arrive to the casino and spend as much money as possible with the minimum fuss for the gambler.
The casino will often take care of different arrangements for the gambler such as hotels to stay
in and take care of the gamblers nutrition needs. The casino will do everything in its power so
the gambler doesn't have to worry or think about anything else but the reason he came to that
certain country which is as mentioned, gambling.

casino - Casino hotel nightlife
|
|
Another thing that the casino will make sure to take care of is the nightlife. In order for the gambler to not wonder
too far from the purpose of his trip, gambling. The casino owners made sure that there will be an optional nightlife
close by. The casino owners build fancy specious nightclubs which provide the gambler with the break he needs from
gambling but not too far from the casino so he can come back and continue the gambling at the casino at anytime.
Of curse, the drunker the better, everyone knows that it's much easier to loose money when ones senses are not all
working, or should we be more accurate, with most of ones senses not working.
