In 1986 the American Physical Society booked 4000 hotel rooms in the MGM Grand Hotel and cost the casinos so much money that the APS was asked to never come back by the entire city of Las Vegas.

Not the hookers, but maybe the strippers. That's because physicists love torquing, but they think masturbating is a stroke of genius.

Oh so, these 4000 super smart folks know that a casino has the upper hand and pretty much designed to take your money?
