I completely agree with derangedmutant's cogent reasons why the Palms should keep their 10 FPDW machines, particularly #3. I know from experience that there's nothing like a royal in the casino to get a group of three up to Alize for an $800+ dinner; a group that can't get comped because it plays the wrong machines; a group that takes two rooms when there are so many vacancies in Las Vegas; a group that spends $200+ a night at Little Buddha when there are no royals; a group that plays at negative EV after dinner and drinks; and a group that feels terrible about deciding to take their business elsewhere in the future.
