Smelly guy kicked out of the Borgata
Even for high rollers, it looks like casinos have their limits. A gambler at the Borgata was asked to leave on Tuesday because of his body odor. He is now filing a complaint with the hotel. There are a lot of things that struck me as unusual about this story. First, the guy was 440 pounds. Second, he had been playing poker for 17 hours when they kicked him out. Also, though the guy was a frequent gambler at the Borgata, the manager would not give him a free room so he could “freshen up”. However, he did offer him a free buffet meal. So did they really want the guy to leave or not? I wasn’t there to smell the guy, but I am still surprised that the casino would show the door to one of their best customers. I guess they were thinking of the customers they would lose if this smelly guy continued to hang around.
There is nothing worse than trying to suffer the odor of a smelly person. They probably had numerous complaints…if I was him though I’d be ticked it took someone 17 hours to kick me out. So what is the real story, was he having a run of luck?
