I'm coming to Las Vegas next week to research a documentary for a TV channel in the UK. I'm looking for recommendations for someone who's well connected with casinos and gamblers who can give an overview of gambling in Las Vegas in 2019.

How is your expense budget?

Make sure to document to the world how idiotic every casino in this immoral mob ridden mafia city is and that there's someone in this city that can triple their profit in a heartbeat if that person ran the show here. Also make sure to document how gaming is in the casino's pocket and that there is absolutely no enforcement here at all other than illusion of enforcement to satisfy the public.
Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out. You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

Never can be sure this is on the up and up, but this forum is the baby of The Wizard of Vegas, aka Mike Shackleford. Send him a Private Message with the particulars and he may be able to help you out.

Are you looking for background or on-camera personalities? We have both, but you'd probably get a better response if you are willing to do some anonymous research, on both sides of the table.

Are you looking to do a documentary on Vegas, the history and all that it has to offer? Or on the gamblers in Vega..., high rollers, degenerates, 24/7 gambling, etc. There are casinos everywhere you look now in the states, so Vegas gambling is not nearly what it used to be... but the 'destination' is still appealing to many as it is a place for adults to go and indulge in their vices away from home. Perhaps part of your get away for the documentary!!

"Wizard" (Mike Shackleford) would be my first choice, but if he is not available, you may want to try to get in contact with Dr. David Schwartz at UNLV's Center for Gaming Research (https://www.unlv.edu/people/david-schwartz).
