Funny story.
True story:
My poker buddies go to Vegas every February (wrong month for me) and this year two of them - brothers - were asked to be put on a later flight because of overbooking. They were compensated 800US$ each. They of course agreed.
The "package" to go to Vegas was 500CDN$ including the flights back and forth and 5 nights at the hotel.
They basically financed their trip for next year so they said that now, since they got paid to go gambling - they are professional gamblers.
We all died.
