FWIW, just to tie things together ...
The Asian woman is Korean. She and I had a pleasant chat on and off during my initial 6 hours session on the adjacent Jacks this morning. (She goes by "D" -- actual first name starts with the letters "HY".)
Just stopped by after a dinner at Besh. Meter is a hair shy of $6K. I gather she has near to that, or more, in markers out today alone.
Given a meter advance of about .1%, from anecdotal observation, it's my guess that Harrah's easily sees a 2% hold on her play. 3%+ is much more likely the case. ($100+/hr is a no-brainer)
