This subject comes up occasionally in other threads; I think it deserves a thread of its own.

I haven't been to Las Vegas for several years, and base my opinion on what I saw then; if things have changed I am unaware of it.

In the past one thing that always pissed me off about Las Vegas casinos was the lack of self-serve beverage stations; hell it's the middle of the desert, people get damned thirsty.

Not even a convenient water fountain.

Which leaves the CW's.

Why should anyone tip a CW to bring them a glass of water, when the water should be readily available and not require the employment of a CW?

As for maids I never leave them a tip: why should I?

I may tip a craps crew if I am doing well, but that is sort of like throwing bread in the water: I've had several times where after tipping them the crew "forgets" to take my bet down and leaves it up when it should come down (e.g. on a crowded table).

So far as tipping for a slot handpay: don't bother; do they tip you when you lose?

I understand AP's have a rep for being tight due to their reluctance to tip: again, why should they tip?

They're at work, and money given away means less food on the table.

I can't end this without posting my favorite movie clip on the subject:
