Drunk casino employee fired for dodgy request
A casino worker has lost his case for unemployment benefits after being fired from his job by requesting the services of a hooker.
Neil Jorgensen, from Kalona in Iowa, received a gift voucher and a free night's stay at the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort where he worked as a way of the mecca's bosses saying thank you for him working for them for a year.
However, it seems that Mr Jorgensen took the casino's hospitality too far when he asked the hotel managers to help him hire a call girl.
The 62-year-old ate and drank at a casino restaurant and claims he was served a lot of alcohol for dinner.
After returning to his hotel room at about midnight, he called hotel managers to ask them to get him a prostitute.
However casino managers refused to help, so the sozzled man called the casino resort down the road to try his luck there.
"The advertisement is that it's just like Las Vegas, so I thought I was in Las Vegas," Mr Jorgensen said at his hearing.
Casino employees went to Mr Jorgensen's room to ask him to stop pestering them for prostitutes and he answered the door in the nude.
Mr Jorgensen was fired the next day and Judge Terence Nice refused to consider his claim for unemployment benefits.
The ex-casino worker said that his behaviour had been fuelled by the booze served by the resort's restaurant, admitting: "I was absolutely ploughed."
