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.

"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."

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!
BurtReynolds, 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!
