I just returned to Tampa from Las Vegas, Laughlin, Central City and Black Hawk.

Has a wonderful time but just a word of warning.

While playing the $1 slots I printed out a TITO for several hundred dollars. While waiting for the TITO to print, I bent down and took a sip of my drink. When I stood back up the TITO was not there. The main security booth was only 100 feet from my machine.

Within a minute the machinge was opened. the TITO number was transmitted to all cashiers and security throughout the Casino had been alerted.

Within 5 minutes, I was told that the TITO had been cashed at "Do It Yourself" kisko #3 2 minutes prior.

Security also advised me that the 2 people who cashed the TITO were filmed taking the ticket, cashing the ticket and leaving the building. All of this in less than 10 minutes from printing the ticket.

At the request of casino security I filled out an incident report. When the report was completed, I returned to the security booth and to my suprise. I was given the cash for the TITO.

To make a long story short.

-I was amazed at how fast casino security reacts.
-I was suprised that they didn't want me to be upset with the establishment.
-Don't bend over to take a sip of your drink until you have your TITO in hand.

Las Vegas is a wonderful place and there are bad people every where. I am just sharing this so you stay on your toes at all times no matter where you are.
