Women at Casinos
 

So my good friend, Roy, has a very conservative wife and he's never played live poker. I was wondering how the women are dressed at casinos, specifically one like Foxwoods (non-Vegas). What I see on TV has Vegas casinos with strippers and dancers and I was wondering if Foxwoods is like that, or if it's more like the mall or any other public place.

I realize this seems goofy, but it's serious because his wife really doesn't want him to play live poker because of how women around him would be dressed.

Thanks for all comments,
M

will your friend's wife loosen his leash enough for him to make it to the casino in the first place?

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Well, he makes the decisions and all, but she just worries about how women are dressed. She doesn't care about the casino itself.

I think the hitch might be the cocktail waitresses...

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Put this in the psychology forum, and switch it too asking what specific mental disease this guys wife has.

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Yeah, I think the cocktail waitresses are going to remain a problem.

i play often..i tend to dress better on the weekends and little to alot dressed down on the weekdays..but i play at the borgata and i don't know what they do at foxwoods...the gur;s are there to play cards too...so his wife needs to relax and stop worrying about what the girls are wearing....

Re: Women at Casinos
 

i dress slutty..gotta take attention away from the cocktail girls..but thats normal dress for me [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Women at Casinos
 

It certainly depends on the casino, and the day of the week and the time of day.

Even in Las Vegas there are casinos which she would find hard to object to. I stayed at Sam's Town a few months ago and it was definitely PG-13.

Possibly suggest that your friend and his wife and you and your wife go check out the casino(s) he's interested in. Have dinner, show them the card room, etc. If she finds it objectionable after a half hour or hour, then do something else.

Re: Women at Casinos
 

On a weekend night the girls might dress as if they are going out on a weekend night (surprise).


During the week in the day-time most of the females in the casino are over the age of 60 and are camped out at the slot-machines.


Some women dress a bit more sluttily perhaps...while other don't.
Just like real life....which this guy's wife seems determined to want to avoid.


most gamblers in a casino are not dancers/strippers in some nude Vegas show.


Tell her that almost half the population of the U.S. has been to Vegas at least once in their lives (I heard this on a Vegas TV show today....so I guess it must be true).
So most of the people in the casinos (even in Vegas....much less Foxwoods I imagine) are about the same as in typical, everyday life. Seriously...this is kind of a weird question.

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Her fears are well founded. There's no telling how many young, nubile, scantily-clad, surgically modified skanks are likely to throw themselves at me in the poker room on any given night. We were just starting to rock with the tourists the other day at my favorite 20-40 when two of the women jumped on the table and put on a lesbo show. The game was ruined, but I made a ton of cash on the video.

Seriously, your buddy's wife should be strapped to a rubber wall and fed a steady diet of thorazine until the hallucinations subside.

Re: Women at Casinos
 

It's not THAT bad of a concern by his wife. It sounds like most of you either aren't married, or are married to someone with no morals whatsoever. She's not allowed to have a concern. That's what wives are for...

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Thanks guys for all your responses. I think they might give it a go. This couple as well as myself are born-again Christians, believing in the God of the Bible. Thus, modesty is a concern for a wife who doesn't expect for her husband to cheat on her-ever. I accept the comments made in jest, but in all seriousness, it's a respectable concern for someone who wants to obey the Bible and not lust after other women [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Born Again Christians can gamble?

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Plenty of born again Christians gamble(myself not included- er... the born again part). Depending on your views it's not a sin per se. As with many other things it's a sin if done to excess.

If your friend is going to Foxwoods then the modesty of the Poker room females shouldn't be a problem. The cocktail waitresses wear these psudo-indian-princess short dresses which aren't any worse than you would see in a Denny's. You would see alot worse (from the patrons) by going to the dance clubs like BB Kings but nothing like the "Vegas topless showgirl" look.

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Born-again Christians supposedly believe in the Bible and in following it stringently. The Bible says nothing on the subject of gambling. Indirectly it condemns not being responsible with any stewardship, money being one of them, and it says not to love money or to seek to be rich quickly. To love a game like poker or to pursue it is not condemned. In fact, the book of Matthew indirectly supports monetary investing, presenting it as wise to make more money out of existing money. I don't see any better investment of a small sum of money than to play poker.

To be fair, throughout church history, gambling has been considered a sin worthy of church discipline. But the church has not always adhered to the Bible. In fact, any believer who actually studies the Bible will realize that the Catholic church is so far from the teachings of scripture that it cannot be followed, i.e., the Bible saying that Jesus is the one mediator between God and man, and the Catholic church has the pope in that place.

I'm going to post without permission something that Daniel Neg. (can't spell) sent a friend of mine. Daniel is a professing born-again Christian, and told me in an email that he believes in God and the Bible. Here is what he wrote my friend on this subject:

I've been asked this question so many times in private e-mails that I think
it's about time I address it here at the forum. I often have people ask me
how I justify what I do and maintain my beliefs.

Well,as another poster pointed out there is nothing in the Bible says that
anything about gambling being a sin. Personally I think anything you do that
becomes an obession can be sinful- eating too much, drinking too much,
becoming obsessed with money, etc.

As long as poker doesn't interfere with your relationship with God I don't
see a problem with it. If you put gambling before God that would be a
problem. If gambling is destroying your family, I see that as a problem

I often get the argument that what I do isn't Godly, i.e. taking other
peoples money. What endeavor or business would this not be true? You open a
restaurant, that's a gamble. You get married, that's a gamble. You invest in
the stock market, well we all know that's a gamble!

I make my living by being better than my opponents at a game. Shaquille
O'Neal does the same thing. He makes millions of dollars because he is
better than hs opponents. Does he take money from people directly? Not
exactly, but indirectly he does. He's the best player on his team and makes
more money than they do. If other teammates improve their play they'll make
more money.

There are a million similar anologies you could use. Get a promotion at a
company because you work harder than other employees. .. etc.

It's not sinful to be rich. In fact in the Bible it states that some will
have more than others. It's sinful to obssess about money and make it your
God... I don't think I do that.


Having said all that I do feel a moral obligation to use the gift I was
given in a positive way. Whether it be to make a difference in someone's
life or to aid those less fortunate.

are you KIDDING me? his wife is CLEARLY very insecure about herself, her marriage, or both. with summer approaching, i worry for this man. if she's this concerned about how women dress at casinos, does she keep him sequestered at home during the summer when women walk down the sidewalk in revealing clothing? my guess is that his testicles would be in peril if he even suggested going to the beach ...

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Perhaps you would've had even more responses with a better subject like, "Born-agains visiting the casino".

I really don't think the women are as big of a problem as people screaming "Jesus F-ing Christ" every time someone puts a beat on them. At least, that's what my Southern Baptist cousin tells me.

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Come on... don't lie to the guy... All poker rooms have "strippers and dancers" wandering around to seduce the married men.

If wifey lets this guy go to a casino to gamble but is afraid that he will see scantily-clad women... she is not conservative -- she is insecure and hubby is likely pussy whipped.

A "good friend" would help him with his wife. Then go look at all the pretty waitresses [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Women at Casinos
 

sounds like they have issues that need attention LONG before they worry about this

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Most women at Foxwoods wear normal everyday clothing. However, there will be a few who are wearing sexy outfits, showing cleavage and lots of skin.

I guess I don't understand religous people. Why would it matter what the women are wearing? If a woman is attractive guys are going to lust after her no matter what she is wearing.

You're right, of course. Unless, that is, you force her to dress in a way that removes all traces of femininity... i.e. a burka.

hmm....

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Like one poster said. He should take his wife with him. Most rooms will be VERY understanding about letting a spouse/gf sit near/behind the BRAND NEW person who wants to play.

As a matter of fact my wife once sat behind me in the Monte Carlo's poker room for a couple of hours every night for 10 days. They would see me walk in, and immediately ask if she needed a drink, a chair, or a meal comp.

Tell Roy to order her a frothy hot chocolate (compliments of the house) and let her watch. Maybe she would be interested in playing at some point.

He should do the same when they frequent the strip club. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Is Roy's wife hot?

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Did they not read the 10th commandment?

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's chips.

(Well, it doesn't really say chips, but it does say: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet they neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.")

Re: Women at Casinos
 

What is wrong with guarding a marriage? I too am a born-again Christian who is married and I don't plan on having an affair, divorcing, etc. So a topic like this is VERY relevant to me. It's not that I would run off w/ said cocktail waitress; it's that I would rather keep the possibility for temptation at the lowest plausibility as possible. I'm not trying to claim invincibility, but it's just not likely. What I would be most concerned with is flirtation from waitress' which would be disrespectful to my wife (whatever that may entail).

I think this post has offered some valuable information. I appreciate those who have answered the question in a serious manor.

"Help him with his wife." He has the most ideal wife of all time. I would marry her sister just because of how she is. You're really shooting blanks here.

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Yes, any wife who desires her husband to be faithful in mind and body has issues (?). Then again, they only live in a manner that keeps people together for life. In our culture of expecting divorce, yeah, they should definitely loosen up.

Re: Women at Casinos
 

Good points, Max, and that's something I think about as well. If a man's going to lust, he's going to lust. However, the Bible does talk about not putting things before our eyes so as to make it easier for us not to lust. I mean, you put a "good man" on the beach, it's going to be tough no matter how disciplined he is IMO.
