Yes, but in Vegas everyone has their hand out (see the recent Vegas blog post in the LA Times) and it is tacitly condoned by management.

In other places you get fired for taking tips when it is company policy to upsell the customer to an upgrade (at SPG resorts they are pushing upgrades at $190/nt on the Hawaii properties)
