I am not sure where I read it, maybe in the book posted above? Anyway, there is the story of the man who took his social security disability check, $500? to Treasure Island and turned it into over a million playing blackjack. He wasn't even playing correctly according to dealers...plus he apparently was a jerk. One dealer wanted him to lose badly. If I remember correctly, they put him up in the hotel and he ended up giving most of it back. When he got down to $50,000 or so, Steve Wynn cut him off. (this is how I remember the story and it may not be all accurate.)
P.S. The t.v. show Las Vegas ran an episode last year that basically had the same plot line.
