Craps

Watch Out for the Elevators

Spread the love


I was in a nice, high end Las Vegas casino where they check your room key in order to go to the elevators. I showed my key and walked to the elevators. A man came over and waited as well. When I got on the elevator he didn’t press a button. Neither did I. He waited and I waited. Then I pressed the wrong floor and he didn’t press anything. So I left the elevator just as the doors closed.

I don’t know. Am I being paranoid?

Sounds like a good play to me. You never can be too careful.

Sounds like you did just the right thing to me. If he was by chance just a "normal" guy then nothing was hurt by what you did and if he was up to something then you were able to avoid the possibilities by smart action.

As a woman, I say always go with your gut in these situations. You can never be too careful and that is not being paranoid!

I once got in an elevator with someone who did not look right to me. I got off the elevator and went back to the casino, waited a few minutes and then took the elevator later.

Wise action (like that above) gives you the chance to be paranoid another day 🙂

Alligator Rose and I have talked about this several times. You are one smart cookie. I will make sure she sees this.

I realize that he did not punch a button but what if he had punched a button (before you punched yours) for a floor above the one you punched? You should do the same thing.

If you don’t feel right get the hell out.

Levona,
Great move. Further, read Frank and Dom’s book Cutting Edge Craps, Advanced Strategies, Chapter 15, The Casino Isn’t Your Only Problem. You followed point number 14. There are great ideas how to handle several issues like you faced. Glad you are safe. Today is a good day to throw dice. 😀 😀 😀

Sounds creepy. To err on the side of caution is most wise.Intuitive thinking and reaction are your strongest allies. My bet is that you’re also good at the craps table. Live to tell the tale!!! 😎 😎

I had the same thing happen to me and my wife in the elevator. I pulled my wife out just before the doors started closing. The strange looking guy followed us out and waited for the next elevator up. I called security and they were on it quick.

Levona,

Good thinking!! always be aware of others and their body language. If it don’t feel right, it probably ain’t.

Keep stayin safe,
