The fact that there has not yet been any feedback is probably feedback in itself. If you get my drift. lol

A great deal is happy hour(4 to 6pm I think)-free tower access if you tell the elevator operator you are going to the restaurant and the drinks(expensive $16) but are 2 for 1 call martinis. Appetizers are really not worth the money.

I've always assumed that at some point, casinos will begin tracking VP play
by comparing individual hands to best play. And anyone who exhibits better
than say 99.8% of the possible EV will be flagged as a "skilled" player.
It would be child's play to add such tracking. Just a matter of doing it.

It doesn't. That logic is so convoluted, I would be embarrassed to admit to such a thing, even if I were posting anonymously.(lol, which I am)
Even if he never plans to go there again, ever, and thus will never see that cocktail waitress again, just the fact that he used that type of logic in the first place means that he's going to burn himself somewhere else, someday, I guarantee it. Which should be surprising considering what he has chosen for his nickname.
I have a friend who sometimes plays video poker with his wife, and when they're together at a bar, he will tip the bartender a buck for both drinks, his and hers, and thereby "saving" 50 cents. UNBELIEVABLE! That is so friggin stupid. Like the old saying, "stepping over dollars to pick up pennies", or whatever that saying is. My friend who saves the 50 cents might not be remembered by the bartender if he were to tip two separate dollars, but he will definitely be remembered for the 50 cent save. And in a bad way. And my friend is an otherwise very intelligent man. Go figure. It's just crazy how some people think.

.... we only went in to do the $100 loss rebate real quick on a $1 vP and we ordered a water bottle, and since we were only going to be there a minute, we didn't tip the CW, and as she was walking away she said (loudly I might add) "What cheapasses!"

Granted, ....it is a free service and you don't HAVE to tip, but ....she does have a point.

why does "only being there a minute" mean you don't tip?
she brought you a drink.

We just got back from Vegas...stopped in at The Plaza and did the "$100 on us" and "Tier Match" (Boyd Sapphire got us "King")
To us, even with the renovations at Plaza, it still looked like a dump...
Also, absolutely no good vP at Plaza
And on a side note, a lot of the employees are quite rude.

Well it sounds like you did not have to be that good to make any $ back then just not horrible. The bonuses carried you over. Now there is more legwork, better bankrolls and you have to play well.

Thanks. Will not use southpoint in future. Should be "south point"
Just spent a good 3 hours going down the VPFREE archive well searching from present to 2006. Found all kinds of nuggets and what a trip down memory lane. Discussions started to include goodies like $5 10/7 DB with .5% cashback at a joint in Laughlin. Figured it was time to quit.
T'is a powerful archive showing how times have changed.
