![]() ![]() ![]() This Louis Theroux documentary touches on that point and many others as it explores Las Vegas. The odds are against you with the house edge even if certain people don't want to admit it. Mildly interesting.Įveryone knows that casino gambling is a long term losing bet. Still, you get to see what the life of a high-roller is in Vegas-the sorts of comps they get, the money they spend and the attitudes that come along with them. In other words, it doesn't seem to have a lot to say or isn't especially profound. Overall, this episode of Theroux's series is a bit light-weight compared to most. And, to try to see what it's like, Louis gambles a bit of his own money. Some of them were very troubling-particularly the lady who claims to have lost $4,000,000 playing the slots (a game with the worst odds of all and which involves no skill). ![]() The documentary consists of Louis tagging along with several so- called 'high rollers'-people who consistently go to Vegas and spend a lot gambling. I just walk THROUGH the casinos in order to get to other places-and at just about all the Vegas hotels you are forced to walk through the casinos to get anywhere! Now I am not being sanctimonious about not gambling.I just don't have an interest. So, I did enjoy watching this show because it introduced me to a side of Las Vegas I've never really experienced. I've been to Vegas and am going back very soon-and never, ever gamble. I am NOT the sort of tourist that Vegas loves. ![]()
