Scott, I think you should put together a section on your site that we could call...

I can help you get it started. According to those who have dealt to celebrities here at Caesars Palace, these were the dealers' favorites and not so favorite. 

(living and otherwise)


THE BEST 

The Man

Kerry Packer

The King Tony Curtis James Woods Vanna White Dean Martin
Andrew Dice Clay Richard Pryor John Wayne Joey Bishop James Brown
Sugar Ray Leonard Annette Funicello Clint Eastwood Magic Johnson Tommy Hearns
Jack Klugman Joe Pesci Don Rickles Drew Carey Vic Tayback
Tim Conway Dennis Miller

Ben Affleck

Tom Cruise Don Johnson

George Peppard Jerry Van Dyke Julio Iglesias Dustin Hoffman Sammy Davis Jr

"Julio kissed my hand when he left the table," one blackjack dealer remembered warmly. (She was a female dealer, by the way.) 


Speaking of George celebrities, I was working at Caesars Palace one day when a familiar- looking man sat down at a Pai Gow poker table. He had jet-black hair and so many face lifts that every time he blinked his kneecaps went up and down. 

I walked over to him and said, "Excuse me, but aren't you Eddie Fisher?" 

He smiled forlornly and said, "I used to be."


   THE WORST

 

Jerry Lewis

Frank Sinatra

Redd Foxx

O. J. Simpson

Don Adams

Jimmy Connors

Kenny Rogers

Robert 

De Niro

Rodney Dangerfield

Larry Flynt

Luke Perry Brett Butler

Bill Cosby

Milton Berle

Paul Anka


And every dealer's top choice as worst celebrity 

” Diana Ross! "

(Dealers sing the blues)

Not only does she never tip," one dealer lamented, "but she also tells the other players not to tip." Another dealer said, "I love the lady's music, especially when she sang with the Supremes, but once she beat me out of $40,000 and never toked me a nickel. Whenever one of her songs come on the radio, I switch immediately to another station." 


Dealers respond to

  • Jennifer Lopez is clamping down on fiancé Ben Affleck's legendary tipping habits. During their Thanksgiving holiday visit, Hollywood's hottest couple was at a baccarat table at The Mirage, and my spies tell me Affleck was on a roll. When he tossed a $5,000 white chip to the dealers, J.Lo told him "no," retrieved the chip, and put it in her pocket book. Then she reached over and took three of Affleck's $100 black chips and pushed them across the table.

  • Oscar de la Hoya.  He beat our crew for $200k and stiffed us.  Real Prick.


  • Tiger Woods.  As many trips as he has made to the MGM you think he would have learned to toke by now.


  • Michael Jordan.  Chicago boat dealers agree: Mike is king on the court and unfortunately king of all stiffs.

  • George Carlin We dealt to him after he finished his gig at Grand Casino in Biloxi...he went slumming at my local grind joint...he was greasy, grumpy and totally a waste of human flesh, but since nobody in the place knew who he was (T-giving weekend-we had some college convention in town) he was comfy enough to hang out for several hours and torture us.

  • Keith Sweat!!! Total stiff!!!  I didn't know he was famous (good thing he can sing 'cause he sure is ugly) except that he had to have an entire craps table roped off so no one else could play with him. Didn't have a clue about dice 
    either! I'm talking about $500 flat with $10 odds, $500 field AND on the Big 6... 

  • Andrew Dice Clay is a major-league- card-carrying- pine-box- sleepin-in-gold-plated-STIFF!

  • Burt Reynolds, At Players casino , Louisiana, I helped him play for a while and make some money and he didn't even say thank you let alone toke!.

  • The same way with Mr. Chuck "Stiffykick " Norris, what an arrogant character.


  • Dennis Rodman. A dealer gave him a one dollar check in his change, and he threw it away (over his shoulder.) He hit some old lady in the head with it. When she saw who it was (you cant miss that hair) she started making a  fuss about being hurt. (a weak shot at best) Rodman shut her up by throwing her a  $100. check.  She scooped up her prize left. That's about as tip as that stiff gets.  Nothing like working for free.

  • Steven Segal. Rude, obnoxious, stiff, short, and incredibly ugly in person. They must do a great job in makeup.


  • Michael Isner (Disney stiff CEO) Plays roulette. Wont let a dealer with a  mustache deal to him.

  • Roger King (King World Enterprises) Big stiff. Once tried to get a host fired for not providing him with a decent hooker. (Sorry,we don't have any decent hookers here in Atlantic City, just scanky ones) The host threatened a lawsuit, and was rehired, After King went back to the rock he crawled out from under.

  • Jerry Stackhouse hit back to back 12's on the craps table for $100 each. That is $6,000 and not even a thank you! Ball dribbling stiff!!!!

  • Here's a Pete Rose saga for you. True story: After making a big scene here at MGM over not getting a credit extension, the shift manager granted Mr. Rose $5000 marker just to keep him quite I suppose. Anyway, besides being obnoxious to us dealers and telling the security guard to "keep those %$#@@?! people away from me" (Fans) he threw what chips remained ($7) across the table at the lady after she threw the 7-out! .......Unbelievable!

  • You can add Scotty Pippin to the stiff list. I work at a riverboat casino in Joliet IL. We call him NO TIPPIN PIPPIN !!!!!! 


  • Joe Theisman, I serviced him several times and nothing!!! I guess he's still paying for leg treatment or something? Stiff!


  • Joe Frazier and his 20 year old wife "stiff" and they slowed the double deck game down tremendously, he had some serious trouble adding the cards by himself.


  • I am surprised that the Caesars dealers did not have Celine Dions husband Rene Angelil on their list. He was stiff before they were rich and famous and hasn't changed since.

  • I work at Bellagio. It saddens me to report that Bruce Willis is a stiff. Didn't talk with the dealers, didn't say nothing.

Anybody want to add to this STIFF list?.............Send it in!
