Bellmen, Valet Parkers, Maids, taxi drivers, shuttle bus drivers, limo drivers, tour guides, hair dressers, manicurists, massage therapists, dealers, restaurant hostesses and showroom hosts should all be tipped.</font>
Bellmen - yes, for sure. This is expected, $1-2 per bag for the entire trip from car to room. Don't fall for hustlers who try to get you to double tip.
Valet parkers - $2 if they help with the luggage, open the doors, etc., otherwise nothing.
Beauty and spa services - yes, 15% is expected in Vegas. I think it's ridiculous.
Dealers - you're throwing your money away.
Restaurant and showroom hosts - never heard of anyone tipping them unless it's a bribe for a better seat or to cut the line.
Shuttle bus and tour bus drivers - no, especially if they have a big tip bucket or a sign saying "gratuity not included"
