Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White announced in Los Angeles recently that he carries large garbage bags whenever he visits a Las Vegas casino so that he can use them to carry his winnings back home in case he gets lucky at the blackjack tables.
Explaining the situation further, White said that he had won several millions of dollars at Palazzo Casino, which is located on the Las Vegas Strip, and had to hold it in his hands. He remembers thinking, “I’m like, are you serious? We’re going to get killed.”
Stating that casinos hardly provide suitcases to players who win large amounts of cash, he said that “they just stack it all up there and go ‘thanks have a great night.’” He said that he then developed the habit of carrying trash bags to the casino.
