Default Re: Tales From Work

Working as a casino security guard offered me some odd tales for sure, cause what happens in Vegas is supposed to stay here.

There was one guy that passed out at a slot machine and needed 5 smelling salts to wake up. Me and my partner had to drag him to his room and physically make sure he was in bed.

Another time at one of the restaurants someone slammed a pressurized door closed so hard, it broke off it's hinges. The sound was so loud that we got calls that a bomb went off. Strangely, no one working at the restaurant saw anything. They heard the door break, but never saw anyone go in or out. This is also when we found out that the staff at that restaurant never report anything in fear of losing their job, because the person in charge sleeps with the food and beverage manager.

There was also one time when I had to deliver nyquil to the casino owner's ex wife at 11PM, well after she has gone to bed since she goes to bed early when she's sick. You see, while the owner and her divorced just fine without incident, the co-owner (who actually gets shit done) loathes her and has us do this on days she's sick. We have to do this, mind you, because the last person to refuse got fired on the spot.

Finally, there was one time we got a call to a fire, outside by the north parking lot. Turns out some rubber insulation was set on fire, so that was pleasant to take out (I mostly freaked out sadly). While we thought it was due to some faulty equipment for a bit, someone who saw what happened told us that someone was smoking on their room's balcony and was putting the ashes out over the edge. Rather than contemplate how much cigarette ash is needed to set fire to rubber insulation, we try to find the room. Sure enough, not only was the room on a floor of "No Smoking" rooms but no one was there (lights and TV were on though). The next day, I found out that security caught them when they went to check out.

So those are just a few from working at a Casino.
