No place offers a more striking conviction of the vanity of human hope than a casino.

A well-known Las Vegas gangster who was driven out of a casino opened up a lingerie shop in a casino mall. He's now known as the King of the Underwear.

Losing is like the measles. All casino-goers have to go through it.

I saw a slot in a Laughlin casino that had so many lights and colors, it was in a clash by itself.

Gambling keeps a dear school. But fools learn in no other.

Over the hospitality desk of one of the downtown Las Vegas casino is a sign that says, "ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, JAPANESE SPOKEN HERE. TEARS UNDERSTOOD."

Quit when losing. Get out of the hole before it gets deeper.

It's great to visit a gaming destination like Atlantic City, Reno, etc. It you don't like losing money in one casino, you can go to a different casino and not like losing money there.
