This is one I've been chasing since I saw it:
since I frequently (1-3x's a year)play craps at the Luxor, I'm quite familiar with their chips and the general "feel" of a table there. Well, on one trip I approached a table and everybody was leaving - it was as if a puff of smoke had just gone "poof". Why was everybody leaving? Because the big-winners were coloring-up their chips...

Now, what caught my attention, was the enormous pile of chips the dealer was coloring-up for them, and the fact there were lots of colors of chips I've never played before! The two young guys and gal-in-tow responded in kind of a shocked haze to my questions:
How much did they win? We're not sure, but it's over $65 thousand...
What did they start with? $2 thousand...
How long did they play? 2 hours...

I wonder if they paid taxes on it! Or, lost it all back before their trip ended...
