Travelers to Vegas have money riding on the British man who sold all his possessions and on Sunday will bet everything on a single spin of the roulette wheel in Las Vegas.
If Ashley Revell's spin is a winner, leading travel retailer Vacation Outlet (www.vacationoutlet.com) will give consumers 10% off trips to Las Vegas booked through Vacation Outlet from 5pm EST on Sunday, April 11, through 11pm EST on Monday, April 12.
If Revell loses, Vacation Outlet will provide his return flight to London and a new set of clothes.
Revell, a 32-year-old Londoner, estimated he was worth about $138,000 after he sold his possessions, including his clothes, in March. He'll make the spin on Sunday in a rented tuxedo.
Revell will double his money with a winning spin. If he loses, he will be left with nothing. He had not decided yet whether to place his money on red or black on Sunday afternoon.
Britain's Sky One television has created a short reality series, "Double or Nothing," based on Revell. A crew has tracked his preparation and will cover the spin live on Sunday at the Hard Rock casino in Las Vegas. It also plans to follow him for a month afterward, win or lose.
