Chapter 147

The casino is pretty much the same story all over. Dated and worn but has so much potential for a buyer with enough cash to inject into the place. It’s busy the entire hour we are here, with never-ending pings and tinkling noises from the slot machines, and the croupiers on the casino floor have people at every table. It’s a sign that it’s a moneymaker with a ready-made customer base who won’t go anywhere anytime soon. The attachement is severe in Vegas, and many a soul’s shattered dreams and empty pockets are to be had.

The manager tells us that the owner is no longer interested in his casino and injected his cash into his new nineteen-year-old bride and their mansion in the Bahamas. He’s not looking to pay out money to update the décor and wants a fast sale to the highest bidder to retire in peace and live out his days with his child bride. So, a perfect opportunity for a master of making cash like Alexi. He has the funds to pour into it and the drive to make it work.
