21: Bringing Down the House (Post4)

"We're having a meeting later tonight. Don't know what is going to happen for sure, but i hear that the last time something like this went down, they changed the five-hundred-dollar chips and up, so the thieves couldn't exchange them for cash. Of course, that won't affect our prized guests such as yourself-- I can vouch for whatever chips you've got lying around the room."
Overall the team had over two hundred thousand dollars in MGM chips.

Kevin had tickets to the Holyfield and Tyson fight, however he did not feel well so he decided to go take a nap. During the fight Holyfield bit off Tyson's ear. Someone shot off a handgun in the casino and the crowd went nuts. People knocked over a few tables and the chips went flying. People were picking up the chips and stealing them, therefore the casino was probably going to change the chips out. The team had had over $200,000 in the MGM's chips.

Kevin didn't know what to do with all the chips, he goes to meet Martinez and Fisher at a club called Paradise. They were already aware of what was happening and had thought up a plan. Martinez was a friend with one of the strippers at the club and he asked if she would gather five more of her friends to go exchange out the chips for pay. This would work because high rollers would always tip large amounts of chips to the strippers. It would be risky and they might lose a few thousand but they wouldn't lose all $200,000.

The book is still really good. They really make a lot of money, I don't know what I would do with all of it. I can't wait to finish the book and see what happens with the team.
