Freezeout at the Aria

Last night, the actual measured temperature in the Aria poker room was lower than the outdoor sub-freezing Las Vegas Valley. 6 dealers and 23 players were treated for frostbite and hypothermia, while several elderly locals were medevaced onto a waiting helicopter ambulance. I was fortunate to survive the ordeal by huddling under table 18, and was found by an enterprising St. Bernard.

The engineering department is looking into the matter.

You're more used to the cold weather since you live in the tunnels. Hope you're okay.

It's amazing how difficult it appears to be to get the temps right in a casino. Last time I played at Aria, late nite in early December, the temp was fine. But often in the summer during the day, when it's 178 degrees outside, I'm freezing.

Yesterday it was sweltering at Binions, last time I was there, in late December, I nearly froze to death.
