Alan do you know for sure "it's a state law"? Because twice a month I get invited to VIP events at Pala and they give out free alcoholic beverages. Once a month they give you a wrist band and you go up to a portable bar set up in the high gaming area for your free alcoholic beverages. Then on a different night you go up to the bar in the Italian restaurant's bar to get your free alcoholic beverages. They also have drawings for free money. Also when they used to have the Pro Bull Riders, they would have a VIP tent and give out free alcoholic beverages. So I think they just use "it's a state law" as an excuse not to give out free alcoholic beverages.
