(Dana White is an awesome craps player)
Here's an interesting piece of high school gossip. Apparently Dana White owes the Bellagio a million clams.
The "report" first appeared on TheDirty.com and has since gone missing though Sports-Odds.com brings us the relative quotes:
Not only did TheDirty.com break the news about Rich Franklin replacing Tito Ortiz, the site received confirmation from their Vegas Casino VIP host about the rumor circulating around town that Dana White is stiffing the Bellagio for a $1 Million gambling debt.
The Vegas Casino Host said: "The Bellagio establishment hopes a man of Dana White's pedigree and stature in Las Vegas decides to make good on his debt. We have been unsuccessful in retrieving what is owed to us thus far, but are very confident he will come through on his marker."
Wait, Dana White may or may not be the modern age equivalent of Joe Pesci from Casino? Awesome!
Ariel Helwani asked White about it and he categorically denied the rumor saying, "First of all, I don't owe any casino is Las Vegas one dime. And I have never gambled at the Bellagio, so, not true".
That would have been fun...

i'll bet that one is true.
remember when charles barkely owed the the mirage (i think that was the casino) 400,000 dollars. the casino’s just give the story to the local media and they shame these people into paying what they owe. it’s a new and effective tactic.
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. I was building a house, I don't deserve this, deserves have nothing to do with it. Bang. "Unforgiven" I drink your milkshake. I drink it up! "There Will BE Blood"
