That is interesting
this waitress says she gives the bartender 20%. I think she works at NYNY.
Last year I was playing Pai Gow Poker with a buddy, and we made a side bet of $5 each for the Dealer and cute Waitress at the Wynn who had been very nice to us. Karma must have been on our side since my buddy hit a Royal, so $750 each for the dealer and waitress. Unfortunately the dealers tip went into the pool.
