The after Thanksgiving of last year I was at Harrah's Casino in
Laughlin,NV. My mom had just died & I was there with my dad attempting
to "escape" the holiday. My dad mentioned this huge guy that "couldn't
take his eyes off of me." My dad pointed him out, I said "dad, that's
one of the Giambi brothers. I think that's Jason." My dads very young
looking & handsome. My dad commented that "I don't think he thinks I'm
your dad." I quickly asked my dad to get lost! I never got the courage
to approach him. One week before Christmas, I was fired from a
position I had been at for four years & given no explaination. My life
is at an all time low & I have been very depressed. It would mean alot
to me just to know if that was him. Do you know of a way I could find
out? Thanks for your help. Laura

That would be the day after Thanksgiving when I thought I saw him.

Thank you for this interesting question. There really isn't any way to
say for sure that you saw Jason Giambi, but I'd say it's a "safe bet"
it was him. I found the following news item on The Las Vegas-Review
Journal's web site, written by Mark Anderson.

"Taking part in the event over the weekend is easy for Giambi, who
owns a home with his brother in Las Vegas. This is their primary
off-season residence.

"We have fun," Giambi said. "The city's great. We know a lot of people
in it. And it doesn't hurt to have no (state income) taxes."

While he enjoys spending the fall and winter in Las Vegas, the most
recent days have not been such fun."
Here's the link to the entire story:

Since Vegas is so close to Laughlin, it very well could have been
Jason that you saw last Thanksgiving. Hope this helps you with your
quest, and that things get better for you real soon! Good luck in your
job search, and please let me know if I can help you with anything
else!
