[The Life Aquatic]

Last fall during the WPT event, I'm playing cash games and am staying at the Hilltop. I run into a player from a game I play at who needs a bed for the night, so I let him crash on the second bed (I had a room with 2 beds). I leave the casino early-ish, around 1am, to get some sleep, he comes in around 2. I've got earplugs in since I'm a light sleeper. I've got $20k in cash in my jeans on the floor because the safe doesn't work (they've never worked in any room in that hotel that I've seen). I'm fast asleep for a couple of hours, but am suddenly jolted awake. Clock say 4am, and the room door is open with someone in the doorway, walking into the room. My buddy also bolts awake and starts yelling (although I can't hear well because I haven't yanked the earplugs yet). Man in doorway splits, and door closes. I ask my buddy if he locked the door, and he swears that he did. I call down to the front desk to tell them about an attempted robbery, and after some confusion, I get the story that they'd accidently assigned my room to the mystery man, and given him a passcard (the door locks are electronic). Not sure if I buy it, but I won't stay there again. How the heck is that possible on an electronic registration system?
