Caesar’s Palace just made my day with this story. Unfortunately it costs them a quarter of a million dollars in fines, so I’m not sure they think it’s worth it. But heck, it’s getting them in all the news and gambling blogs so maybe they can just think of it as a marketing expense.

The offending event took place back on October 10^th, so almost a year ago, at the high limit baccarat table. Now high limit baccarat is supposed to be one of those fancy games at the casino. You know the one that’s roped off and often has tougher dress standards. The place where you go to play if you want to wear a tux and feel like “Bond, James Bond.” Not the type of game where you’d find a player, who was perhaps a bit over the “happy” limit, dancing on the table.

But dance he did. Caesars Palace has admitted that a player climbed on to the high limit Baccarat table three times on October 10^th and celebrated with a few dance moves. He even placed a bet while standing on the table itself. He also stood on his chair and is reported to have occasionally sat down in the chair.

Well, Nevada gaming regulators aren’t known for their sense of humor and apparently aren’t convinced that “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” They’ve determined that the casino’s security staff should have kept Mr. Happy Feet off the tables and fined Caesars $250,000. The casino has paid up. There’s no news on what sort of winnings Mr. Happy Feet danced away with.
