It Don't Make Sense Mr. Vile

How do you spend $1000 in a single evening? Here he only mentions half that figure, but at other places in the book, he does mention a k.

I RETURNED TO MY FAMILY IN CHICAGO. I HAD ACCUMULATED SOME money, but I got rid of it even faster than I got hold of it. When I spent an evening at one of the gay spots, it was not unusual for me to spend $500. This was in the days when the average worker considered $500 fairly good pay for six months' work.
