Nicknames for annoying people in the casino

Billy- any person providing a service who doesn’t have a clue how to do their job. And I really don’t want to speak ill of the staff at Vegas properties. They’re largely all great and this is for special cases. Named after a guy who worked the players club at a Boyd property and for the life of him couldn’t properly set up a bonus on my card from a promotion. It was so frustrating and took about two hours but I wanted my $25 in freeplay I had earned haha

usage among friends: “we’ve got a complete Billy over here!”

Martin- A gambler who thinks they know a lot but clearly don’t. The name is taken from the Martingale Scheme where you double your bet after a loss and keep doing so until win. People giving me unsolicited advice in a casino that is incorrect is my biggest casino pet peeve. It’s why I never give others advice even if I know they aren’t making the most advantageous play.

Them: “You really shouldn’t ever hit a soft 17, 17 is a great hand.”

Me: “Thanks, Martin.”

 

Steamroller - The people that just bulldoze their way thru a crowd or just cut in front of everybody else because "they are more important"....

 

A group slow walking 4 abreast is a plow train.

 

Itchy Scratchy - The people who have to rub the screen constantly in hope that they can effect the out come.

 

They're not annoying per se, but my wife and I call the convention folks 'pouch people' due to the name badge pouch thing they wear around their necks.

 

High-Fivers: Group of guys in their early 20's who cant stop high fiving, celebrating obnoxiously, and calling each other "bro" after every time they win their $5 bet

 

Hoes - Girls in their club gear.

 

the folks who save up several TITO’s, all under $1, and feed them one by one into the cashout machine are coupon clippers.

 

@denta I'm totally swiping Griswold @breanna61 obliviots is also going on rotation.

We see a lot of "baby giraffes" those packs of lovely, early 20's girls who are too drunk, too tired or too sore to walk properly in the foot high Vegas hooker shoes they bought especially for the trip.

I need to list these names for a Vegas bingo card to amuse myself when people watching.

 

"Buster" - any blackjack dealer who is not wearing his (or her) name-tag.
"Moose & Squirrel" - Russian/Ukrainian female dealer who speaks like Natasha.
"Riff-Raff" - blackjack players who don't really know what they're doing.
"Fat Joe" - unknown guy who apparently works for Derek Stevens & is a 'cooler' used at the UTH tables at Golden Gate & the D.
"Hit 'n Run" - one of those players who comes in for one hand & leaves...only to return in a few minutes to do it again.
"Methuselah" - the very-old male dealers who are as slow as molasses - with everything that they do.

 

Chumps- just about everyone in the casino.

I like the idea of calling an ignorant know-it-all by the name of Martin. Perfect. Might do that sometime. Don't want to get punched, though.

 

I'll admit the Martin part is often more under my breath or to my friends who get the joke.

 

I love this!
...and stealing it!

 

"Badglings"....for the conferencees who really don't like Vegas that much, and who look down their nose on all the low-brow people who "like" such a seedy place.

They also tend to mill about in the bars until 11:00 pm or so, still talking shop, and still wearing their conference badges...thus, "Badglings".

(Does not apply to nice attendees, only the haughty ones who make it clear that they are "above" Vegas.)

 

Or when you are getting morning coffee and "Becky is on the walk of shame"

 

I know this guy who also moves with purpose. He does a pretty good "mooing cow" impersonation and has been known to use it - loudly , when stuck in the human herd - much to the chagrin of the Mrs.

Ain't gonna mention any names, 'cause that'd be wrong...

 

‘Road blocks’. People who inexplicably stop moving when they are clearly in a pedestrian pathway, especially the ones that stop one step after exiting an escalator/people mover. As I move around them I often comment “That’s where I’d stand!”

 

Richie (Rich). The guy who buys in for big money $300 and up then makes $5 min bets.

 

But if you notice they all have that “stuff” in their hair. HHa. which makes them hot~~~~

 

Asshole Lowlife C*cksu*kers.

The bastards who shove rap cd’s in your face on the pedestrian bridges.
