The Las Vegas gambler who is currently breaking records on the game show "Jeopardy" is also gaining attention for donations to local community and some interesting offers.
James Holzhauer tweeted what appears to be an email from the gentleman's club Crazy Horse 3 on Tuesday.
I may not be the first Jeopardy contestant to win a million bucks, but I bet I’m the first to get this offer. pic.twitter.com/lgwFhFty9V

The professional gambler said in the tweet "I may not be the first Jeopardy contestant to win a million bucks, but I bet I'm the first to get this offer."
He then followed it up with a tweet that said "Note that I'm expected to have a going rate for these appearances like I'm @FloydMayweather."
The entire Las Vegas valley appears to be fascinated with the latest big winner.
He cranked the siren for the Vegas Golden Knights before their game on April 21.
