Craziness. Of course, casinos were not built on winners and giving things away cheaply. That's why all those buildings are HUGE in Vegas, not little Podunk buildings and casinos.Crazy Climber wrote:Found this analysis of that receipt on the web:
-----
4 Veuve 15L Nebuchenezzars = List $2,000 / Tryst Price: $25,000 = Markup $22k each = $92k total profit.
16 Dom Perignon 2000 = List $160 / Tryst Price: $850 = Markup $690 each = $11,040 profit
1 Dom Perignon 1995 6L = List $8500 / Tryst Price: $25,000 = Markup $16,500 = $16,500 profit
8 Dom Perignon Luminous 6L (glow in the dark bottles) = List $490 / Tryst Price $950 = Markup $460 = $3,680 profit
Grey Goose 1L = List $37.95 / Tryst Price: $475 = Markup $437.05 = $437.05 Profit.
Now you know why every casino has four nightclubs.

Going through some pictures last night with some friends, ran across my wife and I on our honeymoon out in Napa, CA. and met Chef Morimoto (from Iron Chef America) at his place in downtown Napa one night waiting for dinner.

I've seen that a few times on custom build hot rods. Not sure how effective it would be on a daily driver being that far away from the spinning mass of the wheel but sure looks neat.
