Laughlin Nevada Gambling Trips - livebonuscasino.com

Davey called it. He knew the plane vouchers were too far and would result in criminal charges. Tony dismissed the concern and then gets himself arrested when he hands off a voucher to Livia and she gets picked up at the airport for trying to fly with a "stolen" voucher.
Mink even says that if all they have on Tony is the vouchers in his car then they have nothing. But they didn't necessarily have nothing. They had Davey. Davey was criminally liable for those tickets and all of the fraud associated with the liquidation of his store by Tony and Richie. This guy lost everything and he likely blamed Tony for it. What motivation does Davey have to keep his mouth shut for Tony knowing the paper trail leads right back to him and he could end up in prison as well?
Davey's trip to Nevada makes very little sense. Not from a writing standpoint but from a "wait, you're going where for what?" standpoint. One possibility I had considered is that Davey was never going to "work on a ranch" at all. He was going to Nevada specifically to admit himself to a gambling addiction program. It could be based on a ranch. Go and pet the horses instead of gambling. That sort of thing. I would have to believe that there are some decent gambling recovery programs in and around Nevada for obvious reasons. Ranches do not hire 40 something year old guys, site unseen, to come and work for them when their last experience was running a sporting goods store even if they lived in Colorado as children. You know what you can do from afar? You can enroll in a treatment program.
But even that would do you no good if the feds are going to come knocking a week later to lock you up for wire fraud. Davey's family is under the impression that Davey is in a "psychiatric hospital" though this could be a recovery program as noted. Tony is left to believe that Davey is about to go land flat on his face in Vegas. No one has any reason to doubt Davey. He clearly makes poor choices in the interest of his addiction. We can only imagine that his wife and son are not exactly on regular speaking terms with him. Yet they know he is in some form of treatment and there is no mention of him, or his ex wife, being in trouble for the plane tickets. The airline flagged those vouchers as stolen. The feds are clearly watching. Yet we never hear of a raid on the Scatino house. We never hear from Meadow her shrill and indignant cry because Eric's room got tossed by Agent Grosso. The line from the stolen vouchers to Davey and his family is much clearer and has a solid and unbroken paper trail. The line from the vouchers to Tony is very slim. Let's also consider, how did the feds get probable cause to search Tony's vehicle? Sure, Livia uses a stolen voucher. However, that does not give the feds probable cause to search Tony. Livia and her house? Sure. Her adult son? Not at all. They had to have something else in order to get that warrant. Livia using the voucher plus Davey's testimony would be more than enough. Then they find the voucher's in Tony's car and we have the makings of a pretty strong RICO case.
Davey is the perfect candidate for a fresh start. He tells everyone he is heading to Nevada. They all believe him because he's a gambling addict. He loads up his car and proceeds directly to the Newark Field Office of the FBI and they turn him over to the US Marshal Service to go into hiding under a new name until it comes time to testify against Tony.
Davey isn't on a ranch. Davey is living in Oklahoma or Montana under a new name and trying to get a clean start.

It’s a Saturday night in lockdown London and I have nothing better to do other than research some tea on our Bravo housewives and rewatch classic reruns of the Real Housewives of Atlanta (season 3 is HISTORY).
Kim Zolciak became the subject of my research (well, more like digging) and I noticed she was consistently linked to rumours of having a gambling addiction. Unfortunately, the Daily Mail seemed to be the only other source which obtained a detailed amount of information, primarily from Don’t Be Tardy S08E03 ‘Nirvana, Nevada’ (I can’t believe this show has 8 seasons?). I was curious, so I streamed the episode.
When the Biermann family first arrived on an RV road trip to Las Vegas, their suite was luxurious and spacious. Kim quickly went on to mention she’d barely be in the room because she knew she wouldn’t sleep and instead, spend all night long in the casino. Well, she was right.
Long story short, Kim shows all signs of having a severe gambling addiction. She sacrificed 11 hours of sleep (and it didn’t seem like a sufficient amount of time for her) choosing to stay up all night (from an RV road trip with her family to Las Vegas) switching from the gaming machines, poker, cards — anything that was gambling. Brielle didn’t get any sleep either and kept Kim company all night. In the show, Kim was seen throwing $100 in the machines repeatedly.
Kroy had a strict curfew of their RV to departure LV at 08:00 to visit the Grand Canyon. It was 07:58 and Kim’s eyes were hypnotised by the slot machines and she was snappy to anyone (Kroy) that reminded her that they’d have to leave soon. Understandably, he was getting frustrated. She referred to gambling as her ‘therapy’ and a ‘slice of heaven’. Kroy said he doesn’t know any therapist that would recommend 11 hours spent on an activity. Sources are saying she has spent about $250,000 on gambling and is therefore likely to be crippling in debt. Kim reportedly then went onto purchase thousand dollar scratch cards.
The producers asked Kim’s younger children (sorry, I don’t know their names but they seemed maybe age 5 and 8?) if they knew what Kim was doing. Her child responded ‘yes, it’s where she goes to get money.’
At the end of the episode, the producers also asked if Kim managed to win big — or leave empty handed. She hesitated and then said neither, she’s more or less the same in terms of her financial status. Kroy snorted and then Kim looked away from the camera and drank from a red cup.
Side note: Brielle questioned if a rock formation within the canyon was a volcano, to which her mother responded, “Just be pretty, honey.”
TL:DR: Kim a history of a gambling addiction and this is evident on S08E03 Don’t Be Tardy. I watched, so you don’t have to. She’s fixated on gambling and spent 11 hours with Brielle doing it, it’s her main focus of the trip to Las Vegas. Her husband is finding difficulty controlling her habits and she cannot balance her family time and her gambling time. It seems as if she lost more than she won and reportedly has a debt of $250,000.
EDIT: thank you so much for the award! 🤗❤️

On September 11 of 2001, 19 men hijacked four planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and into an open field in Shanksville PA. These men were al-Qaeda terrorists doing the deeds in the name of a holy war against the West and not much about the attack remains a mystery unless you subscribe to the inside job theory, which isn't my case. What authorities haven't been able to explain is the hijackers' several trips to Las Vegas despite what has been dubbed to be the broadest investigation in city. All these trips happened within a few months before the attacks, but the men behind them left very little evidence of their activities in the area.
TIMELINE
May 24 - Marwan Al-Shehhi, the pilot who crashed the United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Towers of the WTC, arrived to Las Vegas from San Francisco and rented a room at Travelodge as a walk in customer. Once there, he called eight other motels.
May 25 - Al-Shehhi walked in the St. Luis Manor, a hotel that wasn't on the call list. At 12:52 pm, he rented a different car, but didn't return the first car until 3:58pm. The unaccounted mileage in both vehicles summed up to 29 miles. FBI believes that these unusual patterns were a conscious attempt to avoid detection.
May 27 - Al-Shehhi made it to New York.
June 7 - Ziad Jarrah, pilot of the United Airlines 93 that crashed in Shanskville while on its way to the Capitol Building, arrived to Las Vegas and rented a car at 3:13 pm. He was accompanied by an unidentified man described as "middle eastern looking". When Jarrah asked for directions to Circus Circus Hotel and Casino, the a rent-a-car employee tried to give him an answer but was interrupted by the unidentified man who suggested another route. The man's knowledge of the address suggests that he was familiar with the area or that he had been in Las Vegas before.
June 10 - Jarrah took a flight to the Baltimore Washington International Airport leaving his rented car with a mileage exceeding 200 miles and no trace of his Las Vegas whereabouts .
June 28 - Mohamed Atta, pilot of American Airlines Flight 11 that crashed into the North Tower of WTC and leader of the hijackers, arrived to Las Vegas at 2:41 pm and rented a car at 4:25 pm. At 6:40 pm Atta established an account at Cyberzone internet café and used the computer for one hour and thirty five minutes.
June 29 - Atta checked into Econo Lodge Motel at 1:01 pm. He logged in at Cyberzone again at 2:21 and 6:21 pm. Once done, the FBI believes he went back to his hotel.
June 30 - Atta accessed his Cyberzone accounts at 1:56 pm, 6:30 pm and 9:33 pm. The mileage analysis indicated that he returned to his hotel afterwards. This day as well as the day before, Atta had placed several call to Al-Shehhi as well as to two different number in Houston, TX. One number was unassigned and the other one belonged to a mobile salesman.
July 1 - Atta returned his rented vehicle at the airport at 5:12 am and took a flight to New York that connected in Denver. The vehicle had 73 unaccounted miles of usage which the FBI believes would cover a round trip to the Hoover Dam.
July 31 - Waleed al-Shehri, hijacker of the Flight 11, took a flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas where he stayed for 45 minutes while waiting for another flight to Miami. It is unclear to me whether this was a tactical flight - the hijackers were believed to take flights to study their trajectory as well as entrance to the cockpit-, or just a connection.
August 13 - Hani Hanjour and Nawaf al-Hazmi, pilot and hijackers of the American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon arrived to Las Vegas at 11:18 am. At 11:58 am, Atta arrived to Las Vegas to and rented a vehicle at 1:46 pm. The FBI assumed that the three men met, but no activity from Hanjour and al-Hazim was recorded from that trip. Atta accessed a room at the Econo Lodge at 2:55 pm and connected at the Cyberzone at 11:26 pm, getting back to his room at 12:46 am.
August 14 - Atta returned his rented car at 11:09 am leaving no unaccounted mileage and took a flight outside Las Vegas. Hanjour and al-Hazmi boarded a flight at 11:29 am.
THEORIES
A) Al-Qaeda was looking to target Las Vegas area
As noted in Atta's first trip, the unaccounted mileage added up to a round trip to the dam from his hotel. However, Atta's vehicle was not among the recorded license plates in the parking garage of the dam. If the hijackers had connections in Las Vegas area, which seems to be the case with Jarrah, Atta might have traveled to Boulder City or any other town close to the lake and gotten to the dam with someone else in a different vehicle. It should also be noted that both Atta and al-Shehhi stayed in hotels close to the Stratosphere, a hotel and casino located in the highest building of the city. Being known as the Sin City, Las Vegas could have been a attractive target for jihadists looking to rebel against what they perceived to be the westernization of their home countries and culture.
B) Hijackers were exchanging information with other Al-Qaeda members
The FBI emphasized the short duration on hijacker's trip to Las Vegas saying that it was just long enough to exchange information. Authorities believe that Atta was not only looking at flight on the East coast but he also kept in communication with Ramzi bin al-Shibh, a potential 20th hijacker who had been denied entry to the United States and acted as an intermediary between Al-Qaeda and the other hijackers. Jarrah's mystery companion and the complete lack of evidence of his whereabouts point to possible terrorist acquaintances residing or staying in Las Vegas that are yet to be identified. The FBI summary mentions two persons of interest: Lotfi Raissi and Zakaria Hassan Ibrahim.
Raissi started attending the Sawyer School of Aviation in 1998 one month after Hanjour quit. Two days after Jarrah left Las Vegas, Raissi arrived to the city with his wife and stayed there until June 18. His stay didn't overlap with that of the hijackers and he claims he went to Las Vegas to celebrate his honeymoon. On September 21, Raissi was arrested near Colnbrook, UK, where he had been living at the time of the attacks. Prosecutor Arvinder Sambei claimed that the FBI had footage of him celebrating an event with Hanjour and that his flight logs from March 2000 to June 2001 were missing. It has also been claimed that Raissi was training five of the hijackers. No such proof was presented to the courts and the man in the footage turned out to be his cousin and not Hanjour, as it had been previously claimed.
Hassan Ibrahim had previously been convicted for trafficking in fraudulent passports and visas. He was the person to provide Mir Aimal Kansi, CIA headquarters shooter , and Mohammed A. Salameh, perpetrator of the 1993 WTC bombing, with fake documents. He was reported to have spent most of July in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, not much information about this individual is accessible so I could not verify if any connection between him and the hijackers was formally established.
C) Hijackers went to Las Vegas as a final pleasure stop before committing suicide
This theory was briefly mentioned by Evan Thomas, journalist, and quoted by criminologist Adam Lankford in his psychological autopsy of Mohamed Atta. According to the author, Atta and the other hijackers - Hanjour and al-Hazmi - might have visited Las Vegas because maybe " they wished to be fortified for their mission by visiting a shrine to American decadence".
While not much is known about Hanjour and al-Hazmi, Atta has been alluded to by the people who knew him as a sexually repressed man who experienced extreme discomfort around women and the mildest hint of sexuality. When years of repression build up an uncontrollable sexual urge, the individual might end up participating is risky sexual activities. Nevertheless, the circumstances of the trip make sex and gambling very unlikely motives. Their stays were short, happened across different months and there was no evidence of them visiting casinos or any similar venues. Strippers supposedly identified al-Shehhi as one of their patrons, but evidence was not conclusive. Furthermore, there is no reason to believe that a quick visit to the strip club was anything more than a fun opportunity while pursuing a bigger goal.
I personally believe that the hijackers visited Las Vegas to coordinate the attacks with other members from Al-Qaeda who flew under the radar (no pun intended).

Indonesia might have seized its independence from its Dutch colonizers in 1949, but that didn’t put an end to external involvement on the islands. The West proved a less menacing ally than Mao’s China in those early years, so President Sukarno was willing to turn a blind eye now and then when a European or American firm wished to develop mining or timber operations on its islands. As long as a native -or a Javanese, more like- seemed to be running things, the fiercely protectionist economic policy of the new government would seem totally intact.
I came to the island of Borneo in late January of 1967 alongside a group of four prospective silver miners from Nevada, who wished to expand upon the rudimentary operations of the locals. We were kept hushed up about our purpose on the island, and it was an added selling point for our employers that not one of us spoke Indonesian- or any of the myriad other local languages, for that matter. Our overseer, a sturdy Jakarta man with the air of governmental importance, didn’t even give us his name. As I understand it, he introduced the handful of us to locals as advisors, and ensured the few villages we passed while boating into the interior didn’t get a chance to mingle with us.
The ride inland was defined by buzzing, gnawing insects and a heat so dense with moisture it seemed to catch in your throat like snot. It was a heat that somehow made the arid scorch of the desert back home seem tame, and left me feeling nauseous for the first few days of the expedition. The murky swamps along the coast gave way to rough water as we followed the river into the mountains, and we seemed to spend as much time portaging the boats around rapids as motoring steadily upstream. The muddy banks were uncomfortably thin, close to both the tepid brown water and the impenetrably thick mire of leaves, vines, and gnarled roots that carpeted the jungle. The others didn’t seem as worried as I was, but I couldn’t help but notice the Javanese porters amongst us hurried us on whenever we carried the boats along the shore, always conscious of the time spent mired in the muck and trapped in the open. The miners chattered about the job ahead to distract from the monotony of the sweat-stained trip into the jungle, but I wasn’t here for the silver, and their talk of drills and transport was a foreign language to me.
I’d been hired on as insurance against the tigers which roamed the island, and I kept my rifle close at hand throughout the trip- leaving it cradled beneath my arm when we moored in shallow riverside pools to sleep in the boats at night. No crocodiles troubled us in the lower swamps, but they tended to steer clear of motorboats, and the higher stretches of the river were guarded by rapids that kept them out. It was the cats in the trees that concerned me. Each flash of some flowered plant or tropical bird in the foliage had me gripping my gun until my eyes could process what had broken the tangle of tenebrous greens that pressed greedily in all ‘round us. These bursts of color never spat forth a tiger, but if anything, the lack of a focus for my nerves only heightened them.
The crocodiles, at least, had sunned on banks or lazily watched on from the shallows, their glinting eyes belaying a hunger they weren’t bold enough to fulfil. If there were similar glinting eyes on the landward side, slinking through the trees, not one of us spotted them. Their lurking owners might simply not be there, for the Borneo tigers were a dwindling breed even then. But, with each droning mile down the lonely, mosquito-haunted river, my own imagination left me certain there were more than jabbering monkeys behind the green shroud throttling the banks.
Our isolation didn’t help, for the bustling stilt-villages that had lined the shore closer to sea had all but disappeared, and our Javanese overseer knew little about the region through which we traveled save its name. Indeed, he and his fellows from Indonesia’s most vital island seemed almost disgusted by the locals, fretting about thieves, savages and brigands in the slums in which we occasionally docked for food. Still, for all their worry, I slept easier within earshot of the indecipherable Bornean villagers chattering and gambling their nights away than I’d ever sleep bobbing on the riverside scanning the jungle for massive slitted pupils.
A week brought us at last to the beginnings of the river, where many tiny mountain streams pooled to feed its long descent to the Java Sea. We continued on foot, tracing meandering paths uphill through the mountains. If I’d thought the press of the jungle upon the riverbank was suffocating, the little pathway through its bowels was another thing altogether- leaving us to putz single-file with me at our rear, my eyes scanning the trail behind me as often as the mountainous climes in front. Once again, my paranoia proved vain, and we reached the mouth of the silver mine just before dusk- my heart leaping at the prospect of sleeping within the sturdy little cabins the locals had cobbled together for us.
The crag in the jungle-choked mountains was small, and my companions immediately set about making plans on just how they’d get components for largescale machinery upriver for assembly near the rudimentary little silver mine. Now that they had their eyes on the place, the Javanese workmen showed them around at the behest of our overseer, leaving me to settle in and enjoy a modest meal of rice and smoked fish. The evening played out well, and after a few hours swapping stories over a low fire between the cabins, I enjoyed the first real sleep I’d had in days. The rigid wood floor beneath me did nothing to dull how rejuvenated I felt by the time the sun rose and the camp began to bustle- refreshed enough to begin feeling more at home within my alien environment, if only just a little.
When the overseer dispatched a couple of the Javanese men back to the river to fetch what was needed for the mining equipment from the towns downstream, I went along with them to the boats with rifle in hand, ensuring no tigers slunk out form the trees. My lonely walk back was tense, but I was beginning to feel at ease with the din of the jungle, and the proximity of the trees weighed less heavily on me. At home in boreal forests or New World deserts, I’d initially been drowned in the sensations of the raucous tropics, but now I began to find methods in their madness. The birds and cackling apes had rhythms and schedules to their calls, and the buzzing of insects faded to white noise once one got used to their constant drone. The jostling of branches by small animals in the underbrush ceased to make me jump, and the calls of strange frogs and crickets ceased to be strange. By the time dusk came on our second day at the mining camp, I’d begun to actually enjoy the claustrophobic beauty of the drooping leaves and interwoven vines, and I drifted off satisfied that the months ahead wouldn’t be agonizing for me after all.
This isn’t to say I let my guard down. I kept an ear out for lulls in the clamor of the forest, and kept my eyes trained on breaks in the leaves where a threat might dwell. During the second week, as more parts brought upriver for expanding the mine made it ashore, I picked out a yellow viper half-masked amongst the tree limbs overhanging the path toward our camp. The path to the riverbank became second nature to me, as did the perimeter of the clearing on the mountainside where our mine broke the moss-eaten stone. When the first month came to a close, and my companions had gotten a sizable drilling machine built to carve their way deeper into the hills, I was feeling right at home.
That comfortable security was not to last.
We’d enjoyed a comfortable relationship thus far with a small village to the west of our encampment, who sent a few armed porters each week to deliver fruit, bushmeat, and eggs. They were generally in and out, very business oriented- but always punctual. When they missed their delivery at the beginning of the fifth week, we assumed they’d been held up by a storm which had shaken the jungle the night prior. We waited, but two more days passed without word from the village, and our sparse reserves of meat began to run dry. It was only when a group returned from fetching gasoline and rice downriver that we learned the village had radioed local forestry personnel to complain of several missing residents walking the path toward our camp- presumably, the distress call had speculated, victims of a tiger.
We mulled it over, and finally our overseer let me send a message back downriver to transmit to the village. I asked for more information, and upon the boatman’s return, he told me the villagers had possessed only two serviceable rifles, and both had been lost with the missing trio of porters. The villagers had probed the trail with bows and spears, but found that a mudslide had shorn away the precarious mountainside trail during the almost omnipresent seasonal rains- forcing any who wished to walk the route between our encampment and the village to do so in the green tangle of the valley floor below.
Any area of inner Borneo which was not a sheer rockface or a pre-cleared pathway seemed an emerald prison of constricting growth to my eyes. It was no wonder a search party with bows had turned back rather than risk encountering a dangerous animal in the trees, where it might lurk within arm’s reach without betraying a single clue as to its hungering presence. Whether it were a python or a big cat, the prospect of suddenly being face to face with a predator in the leafy prison all ‘round us was no small thing, and it made my stomach lurch to hear they’d requested we walk up the trail to meet them and help in the search for the missing men. I could hardly decline, however- the forestry service on Borneo might as well have been a cartel in those days, and it wasn’t likely aid would come from anywhere else for a long while.
Four days after our missed shipment, I set out up the winding trail along the mountainside that snaked away from camp. With me came two Javanese workmen armed with their own old rifles- holdovers from the revolution, they’d eagerly told me. While they weren’t locals, they were better acclimated to the jungle than I, and knowing they’d put their weapons to good use before put me at ease. We could communicate very little, for my own handful of Indonesian words was matched by their equally sparse English vocabulary. Still, we read expressions and gestures well enough, and spent the first few hours on the steep pathway around the mountains drinking in the scenery.
The landscape was beautiful from the heights, for there were stretches of the switchback trail that climbed along stony slopes separated from the trees below, allowing me to look out across the waves of rolling, green-girdled hills and valleys. Save for occasional outcrops of sturdy ferns and woven scrub on the mountainside, there was very sparse cover for the imagination to project lurking predators into, leaving our eyes free to wander. The humidity lessened out here in the open, and the sky was clear and void of coming rain. The ascent seemed to have left the gnawing insects behind and, for the first time, I could enjoy Borneo without the observant leer of ominous trees glaring down upon me from all sides. It was a while after noon when we came across the massive mudslide- barring our path and dispelling the joyous freedom we’d felt trapsing the cliff face above the tree line.
The wooded heights of the mountain up above us had been swept down the slopes in the storm, and a half-dry morass of muck pincushioned with dead trees and jagged rocks ran the full two or three hundred yards downhill into the waiting canopy of the valley beneath us. It was as if the mud had laid siege to the stony cliff only to be devoured by the waiting jungle, which lay calm and placid below- its bustle of sounds lost on us where we stood far above the canopy.
We resolved to wait a while, to see if the group from the village which had aimed to meet us would show up soon. They’d had a shorter hike out, but we reasoned they might’ve been distracted or delayed and been unable to radio a warning given how disconnected our camp was.
The leavings of the mudslide were perhaps two hundred feet across. While it looked like it would be dangerous to attempt to scale across it without sliding down into the jungle below through the jagged graveyard of roots and upturned trunks, we could see where the path continued beyond the sprawl. We kept watch for them, but with the afternoon slipping onward into evening, the three of us grew more and more certain something was wrong.
My two companions talked among themselves, most of their words lost on me through the language barrier. They seemed agitated, arguing over something- frequently pointing across the treacherous mudbank to the farther pathway or gesturing down into the jungle below. Then, one prompted me to weigh in with broken English, asking me whether I thought the villagers had already descended the mudbank to try and find a way back up on the other side. I found it hard to believe a group of searchers so wary of the predator-prone trees in the valley would risk the slippery mire of refuse without having seen us- after all, the whole point of us meeting them out here was to hearten them for the search.
It was only when we sat exhausted an hour and a half before sunset, still at a loss for explanations and debating the best course of action, that one was decided upon for us. Up from the jungle, muffled behind the intervening carpet of greenery, a long, low wail sounded- hopeless as the cry of a hurt child, run through with gasps and stutters as if the screamer were sobbing. The three of us were at once keyed in on the forest at the foot of the mudbank, its verdant shadows already lengthening in the evening’s dying light. I had almost asked a question about descending the slope aloud when slurred words rang out, punctuating the end of the wailing, broken by the same desperate gasping that had scored the awful scream.
The two Javanese men spoke little of the myriad local languages of Borneo, but they recognized enough to tell me the garbled words had been a plea for help- help from God, as they heard it. At once we were clambering down the treacherous mudbank, half-sliding and half-crawling, catching gnarled roots and torn sticks as handbrakes all the while. We had little idea of how we might escape the valley, for the muddy slope was so steep and so slick that climbing up it again seemed impossible, but the horrible agony in the cry swept away any thoughts of hesitation we might’ve held. By the time we tumbled past the canopy into the depths of the forest with rifles held ready, the trees had fallen silent again.
Indeed, the area we entered was remarkably quiet- a hush that went far deeper than the end of the pained screams which had drawn us down from the mountain path. The birds seemed gone from this part of the jungle, and the clatter of monkeys or snakes in the trees had fallen away. The only remnant of the familiar jungle panoply which had served as a backdrop to our camp was the not-so-fond buzzing of mosquitoes and flies, more resonant now than ever before. It took us some time to realize this, for the canopy made the noise of our clumsy descent to the valley floor into a cacophony. Once one of my companions mentioned it, though, none of us could shake how strange the place felt.
The jungle around us was more swamp than solid ground. The trees here were broad but relatively sparse, and their trunks were surrounded by a murky soup of tepid water only occasionally broken by muddy islands and twisted root pathways between the bloated trunks. This part of the valley seemed a sort of drainage dump for the surrounding mountains, and it carried the sickly, paradoxically sugary scent of rotten plant matter and fungal growth. My fear of tigers fast abated, for they wouldn’t thrive in a place like this. Still, the repulsiveness of our new surroundings seemed to wash away my memory of those awful screams. The place made me wish I’d stayed put on the mountain.
It took the group of us a moment to begin picking our way through the gloom. Partly this was due to our repulsion, but even once we’d gotten underway, the stygian mire made progress slow. My companions called out in Indonesian, their words echoing out over the swamp as we skirted along stagnant pools and tested caked mud with fallen limbs to ensure it was safe to tread on. We kept an eye out for snakes, though the roots and mud in the shadowy water made certainty difficult. We were far more worried about poisonous vipers than the pythons we knew must lurk in the depths- the latter could be hacked to death with machetes before their work was done, whereas a single bite from the former would spell death for any one of us. The water seemed as vacant as the land, though, and as the minutes ticked by, our apprehension grew, with each failed call into the bent and mangled trees still going unanswered.
It took nearly ten minutes for the call to come again. The scream rang out just as we were beginning to consider retreat, reverberating out over the water from deeper in the swamp. It was deafening, amplified by the leafy roof above, and from here it sounded even more ragged. It was punctuated by those same halting, juddering rasps, which we’d taken to be sobs before. From the ground, I wasn’t so sure- they sounded more like air escaping burst tires than shuddering breaths taken amidst the scream. The vocalization culminated in another call for help, and it struck me the words sounded strange- their droning cadence seeming almost mechanical, void of the moisture of living lungs.
We stayed frozen in place until they’d ceased, their last echoes playing out into the distance through the trees and sending a distant cloud of bats skyward through the leaves. They were hard sounds to listen to, made all the more awful by the growing shadows all around us, deepened by the coming of dusk. It was easy to dream up all manner of things which could slink and sneak through those shadows as we summoned up the courage to advance and call out for the injured screamer, but we didn’t have to imagine for long.
Scaling a steep mud bank, we came through a hedge of thickly woven vines to see yet another stagnant pool, this one far deeper and wider than most of the others in the swamp. Its surface was split here and there by long, spindly things, we saw- dead trees or roots which plunged up from the muck to tower ten or twelve feet overhead. One of my companions called out once more, and his words seemed to stir up movement near the center of the pool. Ripples slunk their way across the brown liquid from the bases of the spindly plants nearest the center, drawing our eyes to them- and the things which hung atop them.
It took us only a moment to pick out the corpses through the gloom. The swarming flies and heightened stink helped us determine what it was we saw, but they were mangled beyond belief. Three men had been run through upon the spindly ‘trees,’ spiny tips protruding from their mouths- impaled like the Turks during their marches into Wallachia. Their bodies were bloated, their flesh sloughed off like hot wax, and their sodden limbs hung loose at their sides.
They shuddered again, but we saw it was not the corpses themselves who moved- rather, it was the tree-like spines on which they’d been skewered. The botanical-looking forest of branches all retracted at once back down towards the water, sinking a few feet into the murk. When they did so, the screaming began again, washing over us with a renewed vigor, its volume so intense it set my head throbbing as if I’d been physically stricken.
I’ve had far too many years to ruminate on what was happening. Those protrusions from the mud raked the interior of each corpse’s throat as they withdrew, I think. Though I can’t be certain, I imagine their rough surfaces displaced air and lacerated long-dead vocal chords in such a way that the dead were played like string instruments. They sounded a long, dismal note before surging back up to their full height once more. Not one of us could deny that we’d seen them all move, whether they bore one of the corpses or not. The whole forest of them shivered and twitched, writhed in the air with movements so slight they might have been jostled branches- like the hairy, many-jointed legs of an insect, I’d later decide.
Though it took our minds several moments to process what we’d seen, we scattered when one of the stiff limbs nearest the shore lazily bent toward us. We scrambled back over the lip of the slope the way we’d come, and I swear to this day I saw a great shape stir beneath the water as we went, darkening the opaque stew in which it brooded beneath its prey.
Reaching camp by following the base of the mountains was reasonably easy, even in the dark. It was made all the easier by the fact that tigers and snakes seemed a trifling worry to the three of us after what we’d seen in the swamp. What followed our return was confusing, for us foreigners were let in on little of what was said. The village was radioed after a hasty trip downriver, and it was agreed that the mountain pathway would be cleared- and no more searchers would be sent down into the swamp after their missing clansmen.
I talked little with the men who’d shared my experience with me. They abandoned the expedition the following week, and I was too shaken to think to consult them until after they’d gone. I didn’t last another month, for the overseer seemed to have grown wary of me- perhaps doubting my mind was holding up under the strain of the environment, or perhaps wanting to keep me from talking about what we’d seen in the swamp. A new hired gun was brought up from southern Borneo, and I was dispatched downriver to return home.
I didn’t exactly mind. The farther I was from the jungle, the better. The discharge doomed me to wonder, though- to replay in my mind again and again the events of that balmy evening in Borneo, without a way to ask locals what light they might shed on the subject. I’ve never been able to dig up anything similar to what we saw in anthropological records of folklore or local legendry, either, despite my snooping around.
I’ve reasoned it couldn’t have been something the Bornean people knew about. They wouldn’t have assumed a tiger was responsible if such travesties as what we saw regularly dwelt in the lowland swamp. That leaves me to think it was a massive sort of crustacean or insect from beneath the soil, something dredged up from the mountain’s innards during the mudslide that just happened to come to rest in the swamp, where we had the misfortune to see it.
Was it knowingly baiting us in? If so, why did it seem so languid and slow? If it was ‘full’ and simply uninterested in taking us, why make the screams at all? What was it?
I’m caught between desiring answers, and wishing I could forget the questions entirely. Whatever it was, I only hope its new home proved inhospitable. I pray it withered and died outside of the earth where it brooded in the swamp- a horrible fish removed from the water for which it had evolved.
That does little to calm my nerves about what might yet lurk beneath the mountains on Borneo. I’m old enough now that I don’t have long left to wonder, which is a small mercy. If fate is kind, I’ll never know if there’s more of them.

I read so many of these stories and can relate to almost all of them. I don’t know how many can relate to me because I literally lost thousands upon thousands of dollars all within weeks. A few weeks ago I won probably $20,000 and within two weeks ive lost it all plus several more thousands. Currently, my bank account is $4000 overdrawn! I have an entire Ziploc bag full of 1099 ‘s! For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s basically every time you win anything over $1200 you have to pay taxes on it. I live in Henderson Nevada which is right next to Las Vegas. I can literally walk to the casino from my house. Unfortunately, I’ve been gambling since I was 17 years old and I’m currently almost 55 years old! I started out gambling and my parents took me to Las Vegas when I was 17 years old. They told me is the greatest place and so much fun and they would give me money to gamble. I never got carded or anything I just got to play on my parents money. Typically, I would be the only one coming home with money at the end of each trip. My parents will often ask me for gas money to get home. It’s different when you’re not playing with your own money. Several years later after having children and getting divorced, I started playing bingo. I was living in California at the time where there wasn’t casinos nearby. I started getting hooked on bingo and then started frequenting an Indian casino within about an hours drive away. First it was bingo which I won $1200 the first time I was there. Overtime I started playing slot machines and then really got into video poker. Long story short, in 2008 I ended up moving to Las Vegas with my new husband. All of a sudden The opportunity to gamble was literally at my fingertips. I would have to spend my lunch hour from work at the casino across the street. In the evenings, my mom lives with me and is also a gambler and I would go to the casino. My husband, although when I met him didn’t really gamble much, really got into it too. Between all three of us we spend several nights a week at the casino. I am by far the heaviest better of all of us and I’ve gone from playing nickels to quarters to now dollars! At the beginning of the year I won $10,000 and one video poker hand. One night I won probably almost 20 grand just playing video poker. I’ve had stacks up on stacks of money to where I can’t even close my wallet! This was just a few weeks ago and now I don’t even have enough to cover All of the advances I’ve gotten from the casinos over the past week. I finally come to a place where I know this has to stop or I’m going to lose everything including my marriage and my gorgeous home! I have made a decision to finally get help! I really want to go to GA but right now there are no actual face-to-face meetings and I’m thinking that the virtual stuff probably wouldn’t work for me. My husband is fully aware of my struggles as well as my mother and they are both willing to help me even though they are both gamblers but not to the extent that I am. I’ve been listening to a podcast that directed me to Reddit And I’m hoping this is A form that will help me stay accountable by reading other peoples stories of gambling addiction as well as success and overcoming it. I welcome any advice anyone has to give and support because God knows I need it!

Thousands of revelers were on the casino-lined Las Vegas Strip Thursday despite a plea from Nevada's governor that people reconsider their plans to go out and celebrate New Year's Eve amid the pandemic.
While shopping, gambling, drinking yard-long frozen cocktails and gawking at the sights and lights, most everyone who went out in Sin City was wearing a face mask, though some wore them only half-covering their face.
Amer Zah and Rayif Bah, both 22-year-old college students from Louisiana State University, were strolling the sidewalks outside the resorts and taking pictures. The two men had been on a cross-country road trip and after visiting Seattle, decided to head south to Las Vegas to ring in 2021.
“We wanted somewhere to spend New Year’s and Vegas seems like the perfect place,” Zah said.

A Google union? The Alphabet Workers Union has launched
Employees at Google and its parent Alphabet (GOOG) announced the formation of a new union, the Alphabet Workers Union. The new union said it will be open to all workers and contractors irrespective of role or classification. It said it will collect dues, have paid staff and elect a board of directors. The effort is being backed by the Communication Workers of America (CWA) union. The move comes as part of the CWA’s effort to unionize tech workers in a program it calls CODE-CWA. Googlers who opt to join the new union will also be part of the local CWA Local 1400. “We will hire skilled organizers to ensure all workers at Google know they can work with us if they actually want their company to reflect their values,” said Dylan Baker, a software engineer at Google. Silicon Valley has largely avoided unionizing efforts and a success at Google could portend a shift. The new union did not say if it will seek majority support among workers, did not say if it would seek to be recognized by Google and did not lay out a platform of issues it would focus on, yet.
Can I get that content? Roku in talks to acquire Quibi’s content catalog
Quibi launched in April with $1.75 billion in funding and a plan to produce high-end content for mobile phones. Its short life can be summed up in two words-crash and burn. The service shut down in October, unable to gain traction with viewers. Roku (ROKU) sells the most popular streaming player in the US and recently has been expanding into content. Roku launched the Roku Channel, an ad-supported app that features content from other producers. Roku is in talks with Quibi to buy its catalog of premium content. Such a deal would give Roku exclusive programming for the first time. Content like Quibi’s would be an important step in Roku’s desire to build its own content base. The news was reported by WSJ, but no financial terms were reported. Roku is in talks to license Quibi’s content for seven years.
A bet on online gambling-MGM Resorts trying to acquire Britain’s Entain
Wanna bet online gaming will keep growing strong? MGM Resorts International (MGM) does. MGM is seeking to acquire Entain (ENT), owner of the British gambling brand Ladbrokes. MGM presented an £8.09 billion takeover proposal, equivalent to $11.06 billion. Entain chuckled at MGM’s offer, balking at its undervaluing of Entain. Entain has previously been offered $10 billion. MGM has the financial backing of its largest shareholder IAC/InterActiveCorp (IAC) in making the bid. MGM presently gets a small percentage of its revenue from online gaming. A deal for Entain would create one of a few companies in the world with significant online and bricks and mortar gaming business. Entain is demanding a higher valuation before considering any offer and wants further information on the strategic rationale for a combination of the two companies. MGM and Entain are already working together. Since 2018, they have become exclusive partners on BetMGM, a small but growing online-gaming company both parties recently additionally funded. BetMGM, which uses Entain’s technology and MGM’s licenses and brands, is operating in more than 10 states, including Nevada, New Jersey and Indiana.
Applied Materials ups bid for Kokusai Electric to $3.5 billion

The deadline to close the deal was extended an additional three months to mid-March. Applied Materials is the largest manufacturer of the machines that produce semiconductors. Applied’s original offer was $2.2 billion. The increase in the bid reflects the growing demand for chipmaking gear and the strong earnings prospects the combined companies will have. In a statement Applied Materials said the company “believes that the acquisition will provide substantial value for Applied’s shareholders. Over the past 18 months, Applied has observed a more favorable long-term outlook for the overall semiconductor equipment market, including positive trends in the memory market.” Applied said it is working on getting approval from Chinese regulators for the acquisition.
Brookfield announced bid to take Brookfield Property Partners private
Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (BAM) announced an offer to take Brookfield Property Partners private in a $5.9 billion deal. Brookfield Asset owns about 60% of Brookfield Property Partners and is offering a 15% premium for the stake it does not own. Brookfield Property Partners has a market value of about $13.8 billion. The offer is being made due to the fact that Brookfield Property Partners consistently traded at a discount to its assets. Brookfield Asset’s CFO said, “We believe that is has been consistently for more than just the past year. We believed it would be a premium offering to the market given it has a unique global portfolio and some of the highest quality real estate in the world. But is has consistently struggled to trade at its net asset value.”

With the closure of almost half of Atlantic City's casinos, Newark set to vote on gambling and casinos or racinos in almost every state, it seems as if the reasons for the very existence of Atlantic City are in serious jeopardy.
Israel Joffe
Atlantic City, once a major vacation spot during the roaring 20s and 1930s, as seen on HBOs Boardwalk Empire, collapsed when cheap air fare became the norm and people had no reason to head to the many beach town resorts on the East Coast. Within a few decades, the city, known for being an ‘oasis of sin’ during the prohibition era, fell into serious decline and dilapidation.
New Jersey officials felt the only way to bring Atlantic City back from the brink of disaster would be to legalize gambling. Atlantic City’s first casino, Resorts, first opened its doors in 1978. People stood shoulder to shoulder, packed into the hotel as gambling officially made its way to the East Coast. Folks in the East Coast didn't have to make a special trip all the way to Vegas in order to enjoy some craps, slots, roulette and more.
As time wore on, Atlantic City became the premier gambling spots in the country.
While detractors felt that the area still remained poor and dilapidated, officials were quick to point out that the casinos didn't bring the mass gentrification to Atlantic City as much as they hoped but the billions of dollars in revenue and thousands of jobs for the surrounding communities was well worth it.
Atlantic City developed a reputation as more of a short-stay ‘day-cation’ type of place, yet managed to stand firm against the 'adult playground' and 'entertainment capital of the world' Las Vegas.
Through-out the 1980s, Atlantic City would become an integral part of American pop culture as a place for east coast residents to gamble, watch boxing, wrestling, concerts and other sporting events.
However in the late 1980s, a landmark ruling considered Native-American reservations to be sovereign entities not bound by state law. It was the first potential threat to the iron grip Atlantic City and Vegas had on the gambling and entertainment industry.
Huge 'mega casinos' were built on reservations that rivaled Atlantic City and Vegas. In turn, Vegas built even more impressive casinos.
Atlantic City, in an attempt to make the city more appealing to the ‘big whale’ millionaire and billionaire gamblers, and in effort to move away from its ‘seedy’ reputation, built the luxurious Borgata casino in 2003. Harrah’s created a billion dollar extension and other casinos in the area went through serious renovations and re-branded themselves.
It seemed as if the bite that the Native American casinos took out of AC and Vegas’ profits was negligible and that the dominance of those two cities in the world of gambling would remain unchallenged.
Then Macau, formally a colony of Portugal, was handed back to the Chinese in 1999. The gambling industry there had been operated under a government-issued monopoly license by Stanley Ho's Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau. The monopoly was ended in 2002 and several casino owners from Las Vegas attempted to enter the market.
Under the one country, two systems policy, the territory remained virtually unchanged aside from mega casinos popping up everywhere. All the rich ‘whales’ from the far east had no reason anymore to go to the United States to spend their money.
Then came the biggest threat.
As revenue from dog and horse racing tracks around the United States dried up, government officials needed a way to bring back jobs and revitalize the surrounding communities. Slot machines in race tracks started in Iowa in 1994 but took off in 2004 when Pennsylvania introduced ‘Racinos’ in an effort to reduce property taxes for the state and to help depressed areas bounce back.
As of 2013, racinos were legal in ten states: Delaware, Louisiana, Maine, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia with more expected in 2015.
Tracks like Delaware Park and West Virginia's Mountaineer Park, once considered places where local degenerates bet on broken-down nags in claiming races, are now among the wealthiest tracks around, with the best races.
The famous Aqueduct race track in Queens, NY, once facing an uncertain future, now possesses the most profitable casino in the United States.
From June 2012 to June 2013, Aqueduct matched a quarter of Atlantic City's total gaming revenue from its dozen casinos: $729.2 million compared with A.C.'s $2.9 billion. It has taken an estimated 15 percent hit on New Jersey casino revenue and climbing.
And it isn't just Aqueduct that's taking business away from them. Atlantic City's closest major city, Philadelphia, only 35-40 minutes away, and one of the largest cities in America, now has a casino that has contributed heavily to the decline in gamers visiting the area.
New Jersey is the third state in the U.S. to have authorized internet gambling. However, these online casinos are owned and controlled by Atlantic City casinos in an effort to boost profits in the face of fierce competition.
California, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Texas are hoping to join Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey and the U.S. Virgin Islands in offering online gambling to their residents.
With this in mind, it seems the very niche that Atlantic City once offered as a gambling and entertainment hub for east coast residents is heading toward the dustbin of history.
Time will tell if this city will end up like Detroit. However, the fact that they are losing their biggest industry to major competition, much like Detroit did, with depressed housing, casinos bankrupting/closing and businesses fleeing , it all makes Atlantic City’s fate seem eerily similar.

On September 11 of 2001, 19 men hijacked four planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and into an open field in Shanksville PA. These men were al-Qaeda terrorists doing the deeds in the name of a holy war against the West and not much about the attack remains a mystery unless you subscribe to the inside job theory, which isn't my case. What authorities haven't been able to explain is the hijackers' several trips to Las Vegas despite what has been dubbed to be the broadest investigation in city. All these trips happened within a few months before the attacks, but the men behind them left very little evidence their activities in the area.
TIMELINE
May 24 - Marwan Al-Shehhi, the pilot who crashed the United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Towers of the WTC, arrived to Las Vegas from San Francisco and rented a room at Travelodge as a walk in customer. Once there, he called eight other motels.
May 25 - Al-Shehhi walked in the St. Luis Manor, a hotel that wasn't on the call list. At 12:52 pm, he rented a different car, but didn't return the first car until 3:58pm. The unaccounted mileage in both vehicles summed up to 29 miles. FBI believes that these unusual patterns were a conscious attempt to avoid detection.
May 27 - Al-Shehhi made it to New York.
June 7 - Ziad Jarrah, pilot of the United Airlines 93 that crashed in Shanskville while on its way to the Capitol Building, arrived to Las Vegas and rented a car at 3:13 pm. He was accompanied by an unidentified man described as "middle eastern looking". When Jarrah asked for directions to Circus Circus Hotel and Casino, the a rent-a-car employee tried to give him an answer but was interrupted by the unidentified man who suggested another route. The man's knowledge of the address suggests that he was familiar with the area or that he had been in Las Vegas before.
June 10 - Jarrah took a flight to the Baltimore Washington International Airport leaving his rented car with a mileage exceeding 200 miles and no trace of his Las Vegas whereabouts .
June 28 - Mohamed Atta, pilot of American Airlines Flight 11 that crashed into the North Tower of WTC and leader or the hijackers, arrived to Las Vegas at 2:41 pm and rented a car at 4:25 pm. At 6:40 pm Atta established an account at Cyberzone internet café and used the computer for one hour and thirty five minutes.
June 29 - Atta checked into Econo Lodge Motel at 1:01 pm. He logged in at Cyberzone again at 2:21 and 6:21 pm. Once done, the FBI believes he went back to his hotel.
June 30 - Atta accessed his Cyberzone accounts at 1:56 pm, 6:30 pm and 9:33 pm. The mileage analysis indicated that he returned to his hotel afterwards. This day as well as the day before, Atta had placed several call to Al-Shehhi as well as to two different number in Houston, TX. One number was unassigned and the other one belonged to a mobile salesman.
July 1 - Atta returned his rented vehicle at the airport at 5:12 am and took a flight to New York that connected in Denver. The vehicle had 73 unaccounted miles of usage which the FBI believes would cover a round trip to the Hoover Dam.
July 31 - Waleed al-Shehri, hijacker of the Flight 11, took a flight from San Francisco to Las Vegas where he stayed for 45 minutes while waiting for another flight to Miami. It is unclear to me whether this was a tactical flight - the hijackers were believed to take flights to study their trajectory as well as entrance to the cockpit-, or just a connection.
August 13 - Hani Hanjour and Nawaf al-Hazmi, pilot and hijackers of the American Airlines Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon arrived to Las Vegas at 11:18 am. At 11:58 am, Atta arrived to Las Vegas to and rented a vehicle at 1:46 pm. The FBI assumed that the three men met, but no activity from Hanjour and al-Hazim was recorded from that trip. Atta accessed a room at the Econo Lodge at 2:55 pm and connected at the Cyberzone at 11:26 pm, getting back to his room at 12:46 am.
August 14 - Atta returned his rented car at 11:09 am leaving no unaccounted mileage and took a flight outside Las Vegas. Hanjour and al-Hazmi boarded a flight at 11:29 am.
THEORIES
A) Al-Qaeda was looking to target Las Vegas area
As noted in Atta's first trip, the unaccounted mileage added up to a round trip to the dam from his hotel. However, Atta's vehicle was not among the recorded license plates in the parking garage of the dam. If the hijackers had connections in Las Vegas area, which seems to be the case with Jarrah, Atta might have traveled to Boulder City or any other town close to the lake and gotten the dam with someone else in a different vehicle. It should also be noted that both Atta and al-Shehhi stayed in hotels close to the Stratosphere, a hotel and casino located in the highest building of the city. Being known as the Sin City, Las Vegas could have been a attractive target for jihadists looking to rebel against what they perceived to be the westernization of their home countries and culture.
B) Hijackers were exchanging information with other Al-Qaeda members
The FBI emphasized the short duration on hijacker's trip to Las Vegas saying that it was just long enough to exchange information. Authorities believe that Atta was not only looking at flight on the East coast but he also kept in communication with Ramzi bin al-Shibh, a potential 20th hijacker who had been denied entry to the United States and acted as an intermediary between Al-Qaeda and the other hijackers. Jarrah's mystery companion and the complete lack of evidence of his whereabouts point to possible terrorist acquaintances residing or staying in Las Vegas that are yet to be identified. The FBI summary mentions two persons of interest: Lotfi Raissi and Zakaria Hassan Ibrahim.
Raissi started attending the Sawyer School of Aviation in 1998 one month after Hanjour quit. Two days after Jarrah left Las Vegas, Raissi arrived to the city with his wife and stayed there until June 18. His stay didn't overlap with that of the hijackers and he claims he went to Las Vegas to celebrate his honeymoon. On September 21, Raissi was arrested near Colnbrook, UK, where he had been living at the time of the attacks. Prosecutor Arvinder Sambei claimed that the FBI had footage of him celebrating an event with Hanjour and that his flight logs from March 2000 to June 2001 were missing. It has also been claimed that Raissi was training five of the hijackers. No such proof was presented to the courts and the man in the footage turned out to be his cousin and not Hanjour, as it had been previously claimed.
Hassan Ibrahim had previously been convicted for trafficking in fraudulent passports and visas. He was the person to provide Mir Aimal Kansi, CIA headquarters shooter , and Mohammed A. Salameh, perpetrator of the 1993 WTC bombing, with fake documents. He was reported to have spent most of July in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, not much information about this individual is accessible so I could not verify if any connection between him and the hijackers was formally established.
C) Hijackers went to Las Vegas as a final pleasure stop before committing suicide
This theory was briefly mentioned by Evan Thomas, journalist, and quoted by criminologist Adam Lankford in his psychological autopsy of Mohamed Atta. According to the author, Atta and the other hijackers - Hanjour and al-Hazmi - might have visited Las Vegas because maybe " they wished to be fortified for their mission by visiting a shrine to American decadence".
While not much is known about Hanjour and al-Hazmi, Atta has been alluded to by the people who knew him as a sexually repressed man who experienced extreme discomfort around women and the mildest hint of sexuality. When years of repression build up an uncontrollable sexual urge, the individual might end up participating is risky sexual activities. Nevertheless, the circumstances of the trip make sex and gambling very unlikely motives. Their stays were short, happened across different months and there was no evidence of them visiting casinos or any similar venues. Strippers supposedly identified al-Shehhi as one of their patrons, but evidence was not conclusive. Furthermore, there is no reason to believe that a quick visit to the strip club was anything more than a fun opportunity while pursuing a bigger goal.
I personally believe that the hijackers visited Las Vegas to coordinate the attacks with other members from Al-Qaeda who flew under the radar (no pun intended).
