Two stories on why I might not be going to Vegas much soon...

First one, from Sirius XM's VSiN "Follow the Money" show this morning:

Someone decided to social media, posting "The Vegas Life", about how much they spent at a Vegas pool party this weekend...

• Beers were $12 a pop -- I think they got 60.
• Six large bottles of Vodka -- the pool party charged $600 EACH for a bottle you could get for $29.99 at a local liquor store.
• 12 bottles of water, $11 each.
• A nacho platter that probably wasn't more than what the hosts said was "Tostitos Scoops and some cheese", $88...
• A burger ran one guy $20...

By the time they totalled everything up, over SEVEN GRAND for the afternoon, another $575 for the tax, ANOTHER $575 for "vending fee" (effectively another extortion, not unakin to the resort fees), and if they tipped worth anything, probably at least another grand-plus...

That's $9-10K right there!  For an alcohol-fueled pool party!!!

Of course, you could be worse...  You could've watched Cleveland take a dive last night and have $506,000 riding on them to cover +3.5, like one guy did at the William Hill Ocean sportsbook last night.

He was one of the few Browns bettors last night -- books took a bath on the Rams.
