Re: [vpFREE] Re: Tipping Casino Hosts

Actually most casinos have rules about tipping and hosts. A few do not
allow their hosts to accept tips at all. Many have a monetary limit.
However, hosts all over the US mostly routinely "break the rules" in this
area. In all our almost-30 years of gambling we have never had a host refuse
a tip except one (from NYNY) who said she was limited to $75 when we gave
her $100. We solved that problem by Brad and I each giving her $50
separately.

Brad and I probably routinely "break the rules" because we don't ask what
the rules are. We just make friends with our hosts and give generous gifts
to them when they go out of their way to serve us. We are generous to
everyone that way - especially Brad is. When he is out of Vegas, he still
wants to tip everyone who does anything for him.

Tips never "cost" us - we always get back much more than we give. Cast thy
bread upon the waters...and you reap smiles, friendships...and yes even
monetary benefits. We just can't help that!!!! It is really hard to give
more than you receive!

I thought we are not supposed to tip hosts.
