I do not believe the original post was about "one" individual or I would have disagreed with him, I believe the statement was a bit more general.
I simply stated that I dont believe that there are that many 20 something's with large money that I see being burned thru in Las Vegas when we have 6+% un employment rate!
Lets face it.....the money either comes from a credit cards, daddy's money, illicit dealings (drugs), or in some cases...a good ol fashion pay check (ya right!)........being a betting man and being in the position of evaluating and hiring & firing todays work force I am betting on "it's daddy's money!

You are very ignorant.


Yup, maybe.

I think a lot of what folks are writing and thinking here is due to perception. We as people generally believe that normal is what we are used to seeing everyday. Then when we go someplace different we are somewhat, perhaps subconsciously, shocked that so many people can be different.
There are a lot of very rich young people out there in the world. Some of them even earned their wealth themselves. Before my partial retirement I had hundreds (well, more than 100) executive level people working for me, most of them quite young, and they are very well paid. Then there is the outside support. Financial planners, stock brokers, insurance brokers, bankers, lawyers, doctors. And that's just one small corporation. My wife's firm hires 50 to 100 people fresh out of law school every year. This years first year associate class starts at $160,000 plus bonus, for a 25 year old kid. Take this and multiply it by the many thousands of big and medium companies out there. Even subtracting those that don't fit the stereotype we are talking about, but concentrate them in a party magnet such as Vegas and it is not hard to understand.
You wouldn't think it would be hard to understand.
