I called in the middle of the night and said can I have 4 bottles of water, the operator said she could only send two. I said okay two is fine.
What type of personal service are you looking for?

At $800 avg bet for 3 hours your theo for BJ would be something like:
  • $800 avg bet x 70 decisions/hr x 3 hrs x .006 house adv = $1008
Assuming that they return 40% of theo as comps, which I think is higher than what you would get, you are looking at ~$400 in comps from that session.

The treatment at the pizza shop is in poor form, but what can valet do if the lot is full during a high occupancy weekend?

This shouldn't affect you as a higher stakes player. I haven't seen 6:5 surface in the high limit rooms, yet. This is a trend all over LV and is not specific to CET. For example, all 3:2 tables that I've seen at Venetian/Palazzo require a $50 minimum per hand.

It might be helpful to describe what you are looking to get from your gambling experience. Then you can choose a player's club that more closely aligns with your needs.
