Re: Request for Babysitting Info
Greg:
For the piece of mind, I'd pay the $30/hr to a hotel employee who was probably vetted by the hotel and has a track record of responsibility rather than a complete stranger from a BB reference. Look at it like a high insurance premium for your most prized possession. BTW, I hope you have a good financial advisor helping you invest you winnings!!!

Re: DUDE! Are you serious?
If I were Greg, I'd do the exact same thing.

Basically they will babysit in your hotel room, $40 for first 4 hours (their minimum anyhow), $8 each additional hour.... 702-456-1175 Call ahead and should be all set. I'd wish you luck but... the horseshoe you sat on is gonna need surgery for removal, sorry... 8) -Bri

Re: Request for Babysitting Info
Greg,
You are a smart man. I can't believe those of you that are saying: "He has 5 mil! Don't be cheap!" Being "cheap" like this is how people get and stay wealthy. Dumbass celebs that blow their wad on million dollar jewelery probably won't be rich forever. To those of you that think Greg is cheap you should read: The Millionaire Next Door by Paul Stanley. -Craig

To those of you who can't fathom the fact that for certain income/wealth levels 3 digit dollar amounts are insignificant, I suggest that you take a math class. Oddly enough, I agree with Greg's decision to decide to ask on the forum about someone for his kid to hang out with during the tournament. If I had a kid, I'd sooner trust someone that I at least vaguely know than some random people at a babysitting place. Perhaps I've been lucky, though, in the set of 2+2ers whom I have met. ~D

Re: Request for Babysitting Info
it's not like he's going out for dinner, guys. he's travelling out of town to play in a 10k buyin tournament. i would understand not paying anywhere near 30/hr around home with known people, but in a completely foreign area i would literally never look up a random babysitter to save a few bucks.
