High Rolling
I’m in a five star hotel and casino in Macao tonight, staying in a luxury guest room, watching high-rollers gamble millions at a time in the VIP room, getting a massage and meal and enjoying some relaxation in the entertainment center, and generally living it up … all courtesy of a wealthy and generous Changsha businessman. Oh, and tomorrow we’re going to have lunch with the casino’s owner.
Yeah, not exactly what I expected. But this is China!

true to Webel form, I would bet you haven’t gambled a penny!

You know it. Macao is the gambling capital of the world (it raked in more than Las Vegas last year), and they’re not getting one of my cents!
