I've got several friends who work as nightclub security guards and also have private bodyguard businesses. Most charge an hourly rate if it's not a multi day gig. Private message me if you want me to hook you up with someone, I will vouch for their reliability. EvenBob: "Look America, I have a tiny wee-wee, can anybody
help me?" |

That was my first thought too. 30K isn't jack squat to a real player. You should never carry more money than you can afford to lose anyway. Hiring a bodyguard to protect 30K is impractical. 300K, yeah. I've carried 10K in Vegas many times and never had a thought about it.

It sounds a bit like the phony excuse that the Peter MacNicol character initially gave for hiring the Burt Reynolds character in the film Heat. |

This actually made me LOL. 30K may be nuthin' to YOU, but it's life-changing money to a streetbum, and it's worth the risk to HIM to make a play for it. Hence the OP's request for security guidance. "Poker sure is an easy game to beat if you have the roll to keep rebuying." |

The point is, in Vegas EVERYBODY is carrying life changing money to a streetbum, the chances of them singling you out because you have 30K are nil. I have a friend who carries a hell of a lot more than 30K with him when in Vegas and never thinks about it. It goes with the territory.

Thanks Jim, I may take you up on this. Still, knowing this individual, he would probably prefer an established company first. Maybe bums in Las Vegas think that $30,000 isn't a lot of money or worth the risk, but I would think that some desperate drunk loosing gambler might try to make back their losses. Perhaps this person doesn't need a bodyguard, but they would prefer to have one. |

Of COURSE they think its worth the risk, but with MOST people in Vegas carrying a lot of cash, why would they single him out? Thats the point, he's a small fish in a very BIG pond. If he was in Iowa, yes, hire security. In Vegas, he's not even a blip on anybodies screen..

| Ike Member since: Jan 13, 2011 Threads: 0 Posts: 41 | Why does it upset everyone so much he wants personal security? It's his money, it's his peace of mind. Who cares if he is carrying 5k, 100k, or 1mil, if he wants to hire security and has the money to do so, why not? |

well, not only that, if the thief is armed, it is never less than quite scary, and in fact crazy things happen - guns go off "Baccarat is a game whereby the croupier gathers in money with a flexible sculling oar, then rakes it home. If I could have borrowed his oar I would have stayed." Mark Twain |

In case I was misunderstood, I did not mean for my earlier post to be critical at all -- I was just reminded of the film. |
