Today's Blind Items - The Ace Room

Around town it is known by several names, but most commonly it is referred to as The Ace Room after the character Ace in the movie Casino. The Ace Room is actually the guest house of this professional basketball player. He has a long history of this. Back in college, he was known to be the guy you went to if you wanted a bookie. He would take bets on just about anything and made a killing. No one has ever said he wouldn't take bets on his own games, so one does wonder.

Currently he doesn't take bets on sports. He says his bankroll isn't big enough to handle the bets his other pro basketball teammates would want to make. Our player is not by any means the leader on his team, but he is not a scrub either. He is in the rotation and gets in every game. If you want to get into this place, you either need to be a professional athlete he knows or a celebrity he knows. Oh, or a woman who wants to get to know the athletes and celebrities. No one else is getting in. There are no agents or managers. There is no one other than the women that get into that guest house that are not known to just about every other person who attends.

The Ace Room is a casino. There are slots and electronic games. There are no tables and no dealers. If a player wants to play poker or run a game themselves, they are more than welcome, but it is mostly pumping money into machines. A lot of money. Every night The Ace Room is open, our player makes about $50K in profit. The room is open every night there is a home game and usually the night before if he is in the city. Throughout the rest of the year it is open on weekends and this past weekend saw some of the biggest names ever to attend.

This married permanent A++ list athlete was there front and center with a woman who is not his wife.
This A+ list mostly movie actor was there. He is technically still married, but there is no reconciliation.
Apparently there was a little scuffle because this A list mostly television actor from a very long running hit network show was doing lines of coke with his girlfriend. No drugs are allowed at all. Yes, including pot. If you want to light it up, you have to do it outside. No coke or hard drugs though because a bust would possibly ruin the career of the players. So, the actor was told to leave or dump it out. He dumped it out.

This A/A- list mostly television actor who is an Emmy winner/nominee and stars on a very hit ABC show was there and spending big.

This A+/A list mostly movie actor who is an Academy Award winner/nominee and married was there and was with another woman as well as his former actor co-star of his from back in the day who is also an Academy Award winner/nominee. It kind of makes sense they were there together.
