I recently visited a casino and put a $50 bill on the crap table, asking for chips. It was very busy, with players on either side of me playing with a lot more money. When I received my chips, I noticed I had been given $150 by mistake. I chose not to say anything, played a few rounds, and cashed out as quickly as I could without looking suspicious. Every time the phone rang or a supervisor walked by I got a bit nervous. Would the casino have been able to ask for the chips back if the "eye in the sky" noticed the error? Could I have gotten in trouble for not saying anything?

My 5-year self-imposed ban is scheduled to be finished 05/10/10 in Arizona, and I was curious to see if you knew if one can confirm they will remove my name from the list here in Arizona. My main concern is: Harrah's carried this self-ban outside of my state, even though it was only meant for Arizona, and I want the opportunity to finally play (even for free – sponsored) in the WSOP following my end date this year. Ironically, I work in the financial industry and I don’t trust, well any financial establishment, or that Harrah's will lift my ban in early May so that I may enter the events. Do you know of any other incidents or proof one can obtain they will comply with the contract I signed here in Arizona? If not, would you please send me in the right direction? (I've tried myself, but could not find answers.) Thank you very much for your assistance.

While "surfing" around for designs for a firepit for my backyard, I came across this picture. It looks like an awesome building! The caption states that the picture was taken from the roof of the Southwest Gas Building, and you can easily pick out Bellagio, Venetian, and presumably Mirage in the background. Poking around on Google Earth, I can't seem to find a building that would fit this location. Is this a real picture, or has it been "enhanced," and where can I find the actual location?
