The
Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is outrageous. It embodies everything
synonymous with Las Vegas. It’s loud, it’s fiery and
it’s brash. When my friend Angela Ang of Rising Dragon Feng
Shui asked me to help her by being the “johnny on the spot”
so to speak, doing a little remote Feng Shui on her behalf, I
was flattered and very willing to join the caper. Not that Ashley
Revell thinks of it as a caper; he’s deadly serious about
it, and going for the gusto!!
Ashley, a professional gambler, was recently interviewed on a
SKYONE chat show by England’s favorite astrologer, Russell
Grant. He is selling his house and his car, in fact everything
he has and is going to bring all the money here to Las Vegas and
wager it on one spin of the roulette wheel, red or black to win!!
It’s going down at 2pm next Sunday, April 11th.
The Hard Rock is a huge place that dominates
the North West corner of Paradise and Harmon, just off the Las
Vegas Strip. Jutting out from the front entrance is a giant rock
guitar, and everything else about the place from that point on
is just as surreal. It was difficult to get a good compass reading
on the main doors as there is so much metal and electricity about
the place, I thought I was going to get sucked into a black hole!!
But alas, although I would have enjoyed the adventure, I kept
my feet on the ground, and found it to face 130 degrees South
East. (That’s the facing direction looking out through the
doors like eyes looking out through a face!)
Once inside, it takes a few minutes for the vision to adjust,
one is blasted by raging heavy metal rock music, there’s
a shiny motorcycle right at the top of the steps leading down
to the casino, and everything has a kind of glowing red aura about
it. It’s pretty intense, and pretty fabulous.
I was guided over to the roulette tables by
a very helpful and charming Casino boss, and Security was advised
not to arrest me, while I took my pictures. They don’t normally
allow this, but they made an exception in my case. They had all
heard of Ashley Revell and the caper, and they seemed to be wishing
him well – interesting since technically if he wins, the
Casino loses!
There are only five roulette tables. They are mounted on Grand
Pianos. Fascinating. My Casino friend didn’t know which
table Ashley was going to be using, but since they all align the
same way, unless they are bringing in a different one, there aren’t
too many choices – at least not from a Feng Shui perspective.
But I should add here that Feng Shui is not the only factor. There
are many levels of energy, many layers of Spirit. I tell my own
clients it’s like the table supporting the plate, which
holds the food, which is enhanced by a sauce which is chased by
a good wine! Many different levels of energy. What we are trying
to do is maximize the good chi so that he gets the best possible
chance for good fortune – but we can’t make him win.
He is the author of his own fate!
Having said that, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with
trying to tip the balance for success. After all, anyone who lives
in Vegas will tell you about things that the Casinos reportedly
do to gain an edge. Cell phones don’t work in the Casinos.
Hmmmm, no distractions! I’ve always found that suspicious.
Surely with our modern technological genius we could make a little
cell phone work. And apparently, they pump pure oxygen into the
ventilation system, which keeps you alert (and up all night at
the tables). Also they put wonderful smells through the air, cocoanut
and vanilla, tropical breezes. There are no clocks in the Casino
either, and just you try to find a bathroom! (that’s American
for Loo!) The Casino floor is designed so you always have to walk
through the tables and machines to find anything, be it the Restroom
or the Restaurant. The way out is not easy to stumble upon either!!!
Signs are few and far between. Sometimes I have felt like I would
die right there and they’d find my body centuries from now
inches from Valet!
So I think we could even the score a bit and give Ashely Revell
a little edge of his own – some good Feng Shui.
Ashley is a life Kua number 2, according to the information I
received. So what we want to do is have him facing his most fortunate
direction, his “generating breath” or “Sheng
Chi”. This would be North East. The way the five Roulette
tables are orientated Ashley would have to place himself at the
end of table number 301 or 309 (the two on the left side as you
enter) to be able to sit so as to receive this generating energy.
If he positions himself facing the door or the stairs he would
be facing either South or North, neither of which are good for
him (although there is a small slice of South, around 167 degrees,
that emits a good vibe). Because the Roulette tables are shaped
like pianos, the edges are a bit angled, which makes it difficult
to get an exact reading. But my call would be to put him at the
end of #301, or 309 and take a quick reading of his chair before
the fateful spin of the wheel so his body is pointing towards
about 40 degrees (actually between 37.6 and 52.6 degrees).
Now, as I mentioned, Compass school Feng Shui is decidedly not
the whole picture, or the whole meal as I described in my analogy.
There is also the Flying stars of the building which we are not
able to take into consideration, not to mention the monthly stars,
the good or bad directions of the enemy! Did I say enemy? Well,
the dealer anyway. There are also a great many things having to
do with Ashley himself that I could have no way of knowing.
So what I’d like to say is Good luck to Ashley Revell,
May the Chi be with him!!!
