Caesars restaurant in Tahoe market didn't know if it took RCs at 2:1 or 1:1, manager created loud confrontation when I wanted answer

[Alan Mendelson]

I had dinner at Searsucker once and charged it to my room. I had no idea it wasn't 1:1 for RCs. I had no idea.

James, I can't comment on the discussion between Dan and the employee because I wasn't there. I would expect that all employees could answer the question about exchange rates.

I had no idea that Searsucker (or any Vegas restaurants) charged more than 1:1 RCs.

I've never eaten at Searsucker, but I probably won't now that I know this.

It must be privately owned AND not want to take whatever compensation CET gives them when RCs are redeemed.

If you recall, Central (the Caesars 24-hour cafe) took RCs despite being independently owned, and they took them at 1:1. However, they did not take any kind of food comp.

I expect employees to be competent also, but that's not always the case. RC's are tricky as you can see by the list, some do, some don't, some are 1/2 and some are 1/1, and it can change. So what was right yesterday, may not be right today. Dan said nobody charges 1/2 RC's in Vegas and he was wrong and he's supposed to be the resident expert on all things Vegas. Does that make him incompetent? Retarded?

If I saw a 6'2 guy standing there putting an employee into tears over a few bucks in comps, I'd suspect he was an asshole. If I saw the guy come back "seething" ready to "put her in her place", I would have confirmation. Yes, I wasn't there, but from past history Dan seems to get his panties in a bunch over a lot of small things. Me? I try to keep things calm, get the right answer at the right time and not create scenes.
