Furthermore it annoys me even more when the Hosts come back with 'oh you won, we didn't comp you for the entire trip, but you still made out' after you kick the dealers the profit they think you won and you walk out with less money than you started with.
I feel your pain (but, quite frankly, I only tip "on-top" for dealers; and if I hit a nice run, so do they....)

But, there are many ways around the problem you mention above; and none of the ones that come to mind have the sheer complexity of messing with the IRS.
