The life of a high roller can be one of extravagance and extremes. Most high rollers have a source of income that allows them to blow six figures on a long weekend in Vegas. Depending on the size of the whale, comps and perks can be the best of the best. The low end of the splurging scale would be someone who has no problem with dumping $10,000 in a four-day visit to town. The biggest players can easily be willing to gamble a half million or better in that timeframe.

High rollers can expect the best rooms and the best meals comped the entire time they’re in town. Hotels compete for these high-end players, and the high roller can expect to get whatever they want. That includes shows, spa treatments, boats and cars. Even ‘discreet company’ will be arranged, if the whale is big enough.
