    I love this idea, but the Rio actually banned Dave from doing his thing for a while. Something about vendors fees, even though he was just delivering. The next year he had his own space in that smoking section, so I suppose he paid up.

    Considering the outrageous cost of booths, A/V and whatnot over there I can only imagine what that cost him.
    care to go into detail on the cost and what not?

    as far as AAD, he must be doing well if he keeps coming back?

    the fucked up part is, i'm not sure just anyone else could get the same deal

    they seemed to make an exception for him and i wonder if they would say fuck it altogether if one or more people tried to do what he does

    I got a kid out there who doesn't gamble.

    I was about to ask Willie what he would pay over cost for the convenience. $25/meal delivery?

    Hmmm, now I remember the multiple hookers last year so I might not get a typical number.

    Another problem is Wiilie ran pretty deep last year and this could turn into a full time job. But I love this idea. Keep it low profile and it could be a good gig.

    We might do business.

    The only risk is she takes an order from someone like Salaburu and you bounce him and she is literally holding the bag. (That was a cool win Willie.)

    But then you could unload anything pretty quick I imagine.

    You worry about looking cheaper than a resort hotel that chooses to deprive it's "guests" of what has become an item as common as a corkscrew or remote control?

    I was in Las Vegas staying at the Palazzo on my companies dime for EMC World. All meals paid for per diem. But what I ended up cooking in my room was a fucking hot threesome with a 23 year old short blonde girl with huge tits and her 24 year old girlfriend who is a brunette super gorgeous face and perfect ass.

    Top that Willie!!!

    Sorry, my memory fails me on this one. I just remember being shocked when told how much it is. A few people have been given free booths in the past, but they still paid through the nose to get a stable wired connection because that's handled by an outsourced company.

    I personally don't believe AAD was cut a break because of backlash from the players. I think he just decided to pay up and I doubt it was cheap. I have no evidence and haven't heard anything about it, that's just my speculation.

    I'm sure he's doing fine though. The guy works hard as hell.

    These things are awesome. I lived off one of these my freshman year of college because we couldn't have microwaves or toaster ovens in our dorm rooms due to tripping breakers. They're cheap and they will boil water in about 45 seconds.

    So likely profits a bare minimum of 5k/day for 2-3 months @ wsop after all the expenses. Not a bad gig.
    Bare minimum?

    Even if the guy works 10 hours a day he still has to do 100 orders/hour with your ridiculously optimistic figures.

    And btw, who pays $25 for a meal? Sounds like you're paying through the nose over there at the casinos. In the UK a casino meal would cost in the range of £4-10.

    10 employees? He's not by himself.

    Maybe it was a bit optimistic. Maybe he only does 200-500 a day.

    Sounds like you've never been there before. How can you have an informed opinion?

    Dave works more than 10 hours per day. He's not an employee of the casino, he's just a guy with a food truck. $25/meal is not typical at the Rio. There are more affordable options in the casino, but well-to-do poker players buy his food for health and convenience. It's delivered to the poker tables and the ingredients are all organic/grass-fed/free-range/etc. I'm not saying it's worth it, but he is filling a demand that was not being met.

    It's hard to estimate what he's paying his employees, how much he's marking up, and how badly the Rio is extorting him, but even conservative estimates suggest he's making bank if your figure is correct.

    You're right in assuming that I haven't been, my conjecture was to simply point out that 5k profit per day sounds a tad high. I also wouldn't have thought a guy working a food stall at the casino would have 10 employees, if he did have that many then yeah I'm sure he could do 1000 orders per day if there was that amount of demand (doubt it, considering most people who aren't baller rich would go for a cheaper option). 1:5 ratio markup in food catering is standard, and I don't doubt there is money to be made selling gourmet food to flush punters, if I could make $30+/hour doing that then I'd also put in 10+ hour days.

    I think the 1000 orders a day is grossly over estimated.

    Maybe 500 tops on a good day.

    I can be as cheap as the next guy but if you are honestly using vomit inducing hotel equipment to prepare your meals you should consider skipping this year's series.

    Seriously if there is ever a time I need to lose weight I will imagine eating putrid mac and cheese out of a fucking hotel coffee maker.

    You literally should be hiding from FEMA eating rations with your cell phone off to be hungry enough to live that way.

    When I worked in Beverly Hills staying at Century Plaza For 2 mos purchased a hot plate, pan, microwave, and a toaster. Used mostly for a good breakfast then had dinner out or used Grub Hub. 2 meals a day is enough. Maid kept under wraps since she got appliances after I left plus weekly greasing of the hands.

    Don't iron any raw meats


    My mate tried to drunkenly iron a breast of uncooked chicken back in his student days and it almost killed him.

    This I have never seen as a tag on Pornhub before.

    Can you go into more detail?
