I'm talking about the market out west. Maybe east coast CET properties are different, but if they are, I haven't run into it.

Most CET restaurants are fairly overpriced, and could easily still make a profit if they gave a discount to higher tier card members.

Why don't they do this?

I have to imagine that paying for overpriced food must be frustrating to players, unless they play enough to fully get it all comped off.

The fact that Seven Stars are paying the same price for food as Gold (or non-TR members) at most properties is mind-boggling.
