Well, if it was me I'd write it off as a lesson learned. When you walk into a snake pit the #1 rule is "watch your wallet". If the joint requires you to present a charge card in order to open a tab, tell the waitress in advance not to run it as you're going to pay cash at the end of the evening, even if you know you're not. At least then the odds are they're not gonna walk up to your table when you're closing out with a pre-run, trumped up charge receipt. Tell the waitress explicitly who's on your tab, i.e. "I'm only buying drinks for me and my ex-BIL". Never say your name out loud in any public place, especially a bar. Sorry it happened to you Bro. Bar's are fun but they ain't church. U.F.O.

IC: next time I'm in Vegas, let's go over to the Spearmint.
I'm buying -- cash.


During my working years, when we were on a business trip
with colleagues, we always stopped for drinks after dinner.
On more than one occasion, I recall paying cash for the tab
and the change returned was short a few bucks. The waitress
figured we were too drunk to notice.

Now, I always use the credit card and have never had a problem.
Go figure.

i went out Wednesday night and started a tab and had 4 gin and tonics over the course of the evening...perhaps it may have been 5...ok six!

when i went to close my tab the bartender hits me with a 300 dollar tab...

i refuse to sign the reciept and am immediately escorted to a back room. Momemts later the LVPD shows up and demands that i sign the
reciept or i will be arrested for GRAND Larsony.

I tell them to go FCKU themselves and to understand the laws before that start whipping frivolous charges around. Granted I have a receipt in hand showing
authorization of the charges and owing a zero balance. I just refuse to sign so i can dispute later with the credit card company.

they cuff me from behind and decided to play ping pong with my head against the cement wall.

they bust my melon open and then start frisking me for contraband and i guess sex toys for all i know...

well low and behold after going to the hospital and then spending the next 24 hours in the pokie i was released at 4 am Friday morning without having to
post bail....its at that time that i realize my key was never checked in as inventory to clark county detention center.


so the first place i go is back to the bar and sure enough the car has been STOLEN...mercedes cannot be taken or its very hard unless the perp has the KEY!!!

the security booth informs me that the parking plaza is heavily armed with cameras and it should be a problem to see the crime taking place...

so here i sit waiting for the cameras to hopefully set me up with the lawsuit of a lifetime or dissapoint me with the ongoing corruption that continues to plague
this devils playground

is there a lawwwyyya in da house....somebody get me a lawwwyyyyaaa

When you come to vegas under no circumstances should you ever give any cocktail waitress, or bartender your credit card when ordering drinks
especially now that the economy is on the skids in sin city....these indigant proletarian high school dropouts who were accustomed to banking big money when things were hot are not resorting to primal instincts...


you sure you weren't in mexico :lol: ?

man i quit drinking, drugging and whoring more than 18 years ago and **BLAM** that kind of [bleeeep] and MUCH worse instantly quit happening to me.

glad you're okay IC ... and for reminding me that it still isn't working out there B) .

Wifey and I had a $60 bill.

I've never seen a $60 bill. I've got fifties and hundreds, but no sixties.

I need to get one to put with my three-dollar bill. :D
