That's all good and nice, but how did your $5000 wager go in the casino if you don't mind me asking? Also, how many of those cocktails did you drink?

PS. The tip is not mandatory for drinks (unless it was for this particular promo). Even though it adds it automatically, you can can tell your server a different amount while you're ordering. Not that I have done this.
