In reality very few people are going to have regular diamond status and not have 1000 Rc's so it makes sense to offer the regular Diamonds at least a drink or 2 and keep them happy.
As far as the $20 per drink goes lets not forget a Heineken costs ~ $12 at a bar at Caesars so it's not like people are getting Johnny Walker Blue neat comped.
Just out of curiosity, do the tables you play at dictate the drinks you can be served? Playing craps at Caesars you could expect to order and receive Makers but not sure if that's also the case at a video poker machine.
