Request for Babysitting Info

[Greg (FossilMan)]

So, in a couple of hours I'm leaving for the airport with my family for Las Vegas. I'm coming to play in the $10K main event at the Bellagio Festa Al Lago tournament that starts tomorrow at noon. My wife wants to come watch me play in the event (some of it, at least), and so we need a babysitter for my 7yo daughter Sophie.

I called the Bellagio concierge, and they have a service they refer you to. It costs $30/hour with a 4-hour minimum. Sorry, but $5M or not, I'm too cheap to spend a $120 minimum for a babysitter, and more importantly, so is my wife. She has said she'll just skip it rather than pay that much. Any of you locals have a teenage kid who wants to make some decent money babysitting my daughter? Or, can you refer me to a more reasonable local service?

In addition to posting here, can you email me at raymers@att.net?

Thanks, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

Hey, I hate to be a party-pooper creep, but hey -- You just won a $5 million dollar tournament.

You think someone, could maybe, just a small chance, want to grab your kid? There are evil people that will break your thumbs for a few hundred. What is a kid and a few million?

Pop for the $120 service.

wow. A bit paranoid? And what neighborhood do you live in where you have to sweat having your thumbs broken for a couple hundred bucks?

[astroglide]

you are one cheap bastard

Sometimes Paranoid is the proper state of mind.

Even if you check out a babysitter and they are completely okay, all it takes is for a friend of a friend to tell some azzhole creep that they heard so-and-so is babysitting Joe Millionaire's kid, and you could have a bad situation.

Doesn't matter what side of town you live on, there are people out there like that. When you win the multi-million dollar lottery you have to start thinking and acting a little differently.

I agree. Make sure the kid is packing heat.

[slamdunkpro]

Cardcounter has a point.

I'd refer you to my girlfriend's soon-to-be 14 yr old daughter, but she's unfortunately out of town this weekend. If you need it in the future, PM me.
