LAS VEGAS -- MGM Resorts International was under investigation after the underage son of basketball great Michael Jordan bragged on Twitter about partying at a Las Vegas Strip nightclub, Nevada gambling regulators said Monday. Officials were examining whether the casino operator violated laws prohibiting drinking or gambling by minors, Nevada Gaming Control Board enforcement chief Jerry Markling said. People under 21 often try to gamble or drink in Las Vegas, but punishment for casino operators depend on the circumstances, Markling said. Jordan's 19-year-old son Marcus Jordan tweeted Aug. 20 about spending $35,000 at Haze at Aria Resort & Casino. "Last night was stupid... 35K at Haze," the University of Central Florida sophomore guard said. "Totals 50K something the whole day."Maybe I'm a product of the 90's but Michael Jordan can do no wrong in my eyes. People jumped all over him for having a self-centered Hall of Fame speech but I looked at it as his last way to stick it to every person who pissed him off a final. That's what fueled his game. That competitive fire. So cue everybody saying how bad of a father Michael Jordan is for passing his insane gambling addiction on to his son and letting him take thousands of dollars to the holy land. This is what I felt when I read how much he spent. "Uhhh homie threw up 35K! Roll on, playa! Roll on!" Seriously. I might transfer for UCF strictly for the sole purpose of hitting up Vegas with Marcus Jordan. You're telling me that "My dad is MJ" doesn't get you laid? Puuhh-leasee.
