They should play the thing at noon. Funny how they blare it upstairs in the dining room - but of course - in the table game section and slots parlor there is no anthem. Wouldn't want to distract the mindless zombies from their stupid ass machines.

How I've only manged a single meltdown during the national anthem over the course of about four years - is truly a testament to my laid back personality.
I'm pretty sure if you glare back at them, and confront them, they will leave you alone.

If that doesn't work, tell them you are visiting a friend, that you are from Guatemala, and you don't understand all the customs here. That where you are from, it's considered bad form to not pay attention to a race you have bet.

Better yet, during the anthem, chant Zenyatta over and over as loud as you can.
