Mac Daddy McCain rolling dice in Las Vegas

Who would have figured it...Mac Daddy McCain likes to throw the bones (from a May, 2005 profile of John McCain in The New Yorker by Connie Bruck):

McCain is an avid gambler. Wes Gullett, a close friend who worked for McCain for years, told me that they used to play craps in Las Vegas in fourteen-hour stints, standing at the tables from 10 a.m. to midnight. “Craps is addictive,” McCain remarked, and he headed for the fifteen-dollar-minimum-bet tables.

Fifteen dollars might not seem like a lot, but most serious players place odds bets and take advantage of other wagering opportunities, easily placing hundreds of dollars on the table per roll.

Here's a camera phone picture of John McCain (or someone who looks exactly like him) throwing dice in Las Vegas. Even though the site I found it on says it was taken at Mirage, I'm pretty sure McCain is actually at Bellagio in the dice pit closest to the main tower elevators. (I think that's the Fontana Lounge in the upper right hand corner of the picture, and it is apparently daytime.)

This one could be fun to play with metaphorically
