The days and nights of wine and rows of bloody marys, in other words,
unlimited free drinks for some Las Vegas gamblers are over. A color-coded
light system has been installed on the back of video poker machines at
casino and sports book bars in all Total Rewards casinos. No longer will
it be up to a bartender's discretion when to comp a cocktail for someone
sitting at the bar playing VP – though, supposedly, that discretion still
exists for some Diamond and Seven Stars cardholders. The system actually
was introduced at the sports book at *Caesars Palace* earlier this year,
but few noticed. The website VitalVegas.com <http://vitalvegas.com/>
claims to have "personally verified the comped drink system is in place at
*Bally's* (Sully's Bar and Casino Bar), *The Cromwell* (Lobby Bar),* The
Linq* (Tag Sports Bar, Catalyst and 3535 Bar), *Flamingo* (X Bar and
Bugsy's) and *Harrah's*." Regular visitors to the site claim the system
also is in place at *Rio*, *Paris* and *Planet Hollywood*. According to
one bartender – who agreed to speak anonymously for fear of reprisal from
his bosses – to activate the system, players must insert a minimum of $20
into a machine and a blue light will turn on. To get a green light – which
tells the bartenders they can serve you a free drink – you need to play a
few hands at the machine's maximum bet. To keep your juices – or gin and
tonics – flowing you have to continue playing at a steady pace or you get a
red light (and no more free drinks until you get another green light).
