This is the part i don't understand.

who would notice? I mean at Mandalay Bay itself,, they have upwards of 6000 guests at any one time, more on weekends. The place is almost the size of the Stampede grounds. (exaggerated, but not a lot) Im just not sure who would ever notice the same guy carrying suitcases up to a room...nevermind he was going from the parking garage on an elevator straight up to his floor.

As far as gambling habits, he did what almost every other person does, and sat at a machine hitting buttons. He was a video poker player. The whales of that game simply play up to 100 hands per game, but with higher stakes per.
Nothing he does while gambling stands out, its only through the player cards that you insert in the machines that got him, and others like him, their comps and perks. They know how much money he is putting the machines. Its a very anonymous existence if he wants it to be. Now, the big rollers at tables and such...yeah they are well known to security etc, but sitting at machines? Not so much.

I will see if i can find that article.

Here it is...i honestly had no idea people could play 700 hands of poker a minute.
