UNCLE JR., Sorry to hear about your loss on the roulette table but I hope you used your Player's Club Card and made sure that the Pit Boss ran it on the house computer for you.
My nephew once used my card and bought in for $1,000 and the following month I received an invite for a complimentary room for three nights for the next three months plus a lot of other free stuff. (This was at the ORLEANS ... one of the local's favorite joints).
You should have gotten some free meals or compt rooms for your $1,000 play ... or possibly more.
I don't play roulette but I understand the game and the odds involved (that's why I don't play it), but one of our saner fellow-GetBiggers sent me a Roulette System that appears to be close to a wINNER.
Most systems are full of shit but this one appears to be genuine.
But this system does take time and patience and you have to be satisfied with small wins over long periods of time.
I have to apologize for forgetting the individual's name, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I sent you a copy via email and test it out yourself on your next LV visit.
And I'll check around town to see if the french Wheel is still in play. A French Wheel has one "0" instead of two "0's".
The advantage is that the house edge for a double '0' wheel is 5.26% but drops to 2.7% for a single '0' wheel.

PS ... Go here to see which casinos offer single '0' roulette ... but notice the minimums and the hours of availability
