Once upon a time there was a Big Beautiful Bankroll that lived in the deposit safe of Mr Greco, Room 2739, Wynn Hotel, Las Vegas.

The first week that it arrived at its temporary home it got so hungry for more that it kept growing until its belly was full. But then along came the Big Bad Vegas Monster to swallow it all up. And so, six weeks later, the Big Beautiful Bankroll was no more. The moral of this story is, don’t stay too long in Vegas!

Even though this has only been my third visit, I now know that if you outstay your welcome in this amazing city they call Sin, it will almost definitely drive you insane.
