How much money do you already have in IRAs?

You want to spend it in AC? Hmmm...well...there's not much there. Hookers? Blow? ummm...outlet mall? You could buy a Kia, I suppose.

Nice! If Revel's depreciation was from 2.5B to 100MM, 20K is probably about right for Showboat. Barring that, is the Plaza for sale yet?

Deposit half in a bank account, eat a good dinner, relax ... and play some more.

Go through the casino... Play low limits. Find someone whom is clearly educated about a game but clearly also doesn't have the funds to play with much money. Make sure you feel this person is a good and moral person, well deserving of good "karma." Take this person on the ride of their lives for the night. This would be up to you, but good thoughts would be a fancy dinner, extravagant night life/club/etc, high limit action (play like $10K of it and agree to split winnings with them), etc.

Either that or do what I've always wanted to do (if I had tons of cash to burn)... Go outside and dress as a bum asking for food. Try to have conversations with people and find things out about their lives. Find a nice person who's willing to give you a sandwich and has a debt of some kind, etc, etc, and then surprise them with a gift for doing the 'right thing.'

There's plenty of ways to use the cash to further the world and the people around you.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.
