I've read that if you win a slot jackpot tipping the slot attendent (and "of course" the security guard who checks that he is paying you your fair share) is also suggested--why? (If the attendent said "this machine is 'hot'" and I won, no question, he deserves a tip.)
[I was on line where a man ahead of me bought $9 of magazines and newspapers, he gave the clerk a $10 bill and the $1 change he returned as a tip.]
Tipping has gotten out of hand.
Any comments?
If you have to take a cab or two throughout the day and between tipping at restaurants and bellhops, I could see a days tips exceeding $50. Not often, but on occasion. Vegas is a tipping city. It is VERY service oriented. Also, factoring in, tipping for those free drinks you are receiving while gambling, yes, $50 would be easy to hit on some days.
