Message: [QUOTE="c9h13no3, post: 4426593, member: 15450"] Vegas (casinos, waitresses, everywhere really) runs on tips. Most employees are grossly underpaid without them, and it's hospitable to you that they let you pay what you want. The dealers in the mixed games at the Bellagio/Wynn certainly are skilled. Keeping the the action moving along, dealing with drunks, and keeping track of the rake schedule isn't a piece of cake. So don't be an asshole, and help pay for the services you're being given. $1 per pot you win that goes to the flop/4th street/1st draw is standard at any stakes. At high stakes tables, players will keep a stack of $1 chips for that purpose. Yes, the rake is high in a live game. But you won't find better fish anywhere else. The poor play of your opponents, and some interesting company certainly make up for the bigger rake. The faceless casino is getting their money. Taking it out on the person in front of you is cruel.
