10. Dealers and other players start asking you where you work.
9. You actually come close to using some of those comp show tickets.
8. The teller at your bank\u2019s local branch no longer asks for your ID.
7. Although your standards for \u201cdirty\u201d continue to slide, you have a laundry near a casino you think of as \u201cyours.\u201d
6. You\u2019ve awakened from at least one dream where you were held hostage by a gun-wielding Debby Reynolds, Wayne Newton, or Steve Wynn.
5. You need an extra suitcase for your stash of hotel toiletries.
4. Daily fluffing and buffing seems like too much trouble. As you abandon shaving, make-up, and jewelry, your reflection looks amazingly like the stereotypical counter.
3. You take to carrying a hotel shower cap for surreptitiously wrapping buffet brownies to take to your room.
2. You\u2019ve been to a mall\u2014even if it was just to buy clean underwear. (drum roll, please)
1. You\u2019ve stopped ordering an appetizer and dessert with every entr\u00e9e when on a coffee shop comp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
