Have been in Las Vegas now for 18 years where i have worked as a craps dealer and supervisor on the strip for most of that time.

From one fellow blue and casino employee to another: welcome.

Probably not. I've worked in the St. Louis area since 2002. Started in Security as an EMT, then transferred to Surveillance in 2005. Helped open the Surveillance rooms of the two newest properties in the area, and been with the current one since Nov of 2009, but stayed with the same parent company. I'm about to start my 10th year with them.

Gaylon Kent I know him from another board, I met him the last time I was in Las Vegas.

I know Gaylon Kent. He evaluated me a month and a half ago during pre-season. He scored me a 2.18 (1.0 being the best, 5.0 the worst). Smart guy, great umpire and a class act.

Very cool. I too was a security officer at a casino property "Fitzgeralds" here in vegas for a year. Got sick of dealing dice and wanted to have some fun...security was fun, but the money sucked, so i went back to dealing, lol. Been with the casino i'm at now for over four years. Been in the business eighteen years. it's too hard to ge out, especially since it's easy work and i get a 20 min break every hour.

And a tough grader.

Not surprising, to be honest.

Sorry to get back to you so late. I didn't see the message, my apologies. Actually, i'm not aware of an official named Arik.
