I’ve never had the chance to meet a famous person in a casino during my visit in Vegas, but I’m sure celebrities with lots of money like athletes, singers, or actors go there quite often since they can easily afford it. I think they usually visit casinos more to unwind and have fun rather than to actually win money.

Have you ever met a famous person in a casino? 😄

I’ve never met anyone interesting in our casino. It’s not like we have celebrities walking around anyway, to be honest lol.

I was at a poker table once at the Borgata when a player said out loud: "Is that Michael Phelps"? I turned around and Mr. swimmer was sitting right behind me at the next table.
Not sure if that's considered "meeting", but that's as close as it was, at least in a casino.

That definitely counts! Even if it wasn’t face to face, being that close to an Olympic legend makes the casino experience more memorable.

You should have challenged him to a 100-meter butterfly race, with the winner keeping all the chips on the table like a real man, challenging his aquatic supremacy

never met a big list celebrity, but i bumped into a pro poker streamer at a card room once. ended up at his table for like an hour and he was actually super chill, just cracking jokes and throwing chips around.

Have never met a celebrity in the casino. Probably most play in private rooms & not in the floor to keep a low profile.

I've never met a celebrity in a casino, though did see Franck Queudrue in my local Asda. I also observed Michael Caine in my second most local Asda.

AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys was in the casino playing roulette right next to our blackjack table when we were on one of our Virgin cruises. They are small casinos, so he was very close. Everyone pretty much left him alone.

No I have never met a celebrity personally in a casino but multiple people have met me. So they would be able to answer this question.
