My wife and I were playing some slots and we tipped $1/drink per trip. So $2 per trip. My best friend and his wife were on the other side of that bank of slots and they just tipped $1 per two drinks. In one hour my wife and I got four drinks each. My buddy and his wife got one. The better you tip, the better your service will be. Its only $1 per drink. If you went to the bar the drink would be exponentially more than $1.

That's the way I look at it , your not getting free drinks your paying a buck a drink. Keeps them happ and coming back on a regular basis.

i guess maybe i wasnt offended with her saying we must tip but when she started saying things like if your gonna tip only 50 cents , then dont expect me to come back .... things like that really get to me ...

another thing is when i lived in Branson , i would get offended when they wold put a tipping table at the bottom of the reciepts... i usually tip 20% or more if the service is good but it offended when they did a break down to tell 10%,15%,20% etc... i would get so incensed that i would leave the lowest amount they had on the table...... Now i feel bad that i realize it was there because most people who visit Branson are old and needed the help

Thanks for all the help everyone, heading to Vegas tomorrow. Should be a good time. Is there still that outside bar on the strip, near O'Shea's, Casino Royale, and the piano bar where the two blonde twins play? Is it any good?
