Do cocktail waitresses have to pay for their drinks?

Do cocktail waitresses have to pay for their drinks in Las Vegas, or do
the casinos give them away to promote gambling in their establishment?

I read somewhere that cocktail waitresses have to pay $0.75 per drink,
and hence they are only making a profit when the tip is $1 or more,
however, I don't think this is true.

Can anyone confirm this myth?

Thanks,

When they are working the floor they do not pay for the drinks although the casino tracks how many beverages/how much in beverages is served by each waitress. When they are working in a lounge, the customer is buying the drinks and in many casinos the waitress has to provide the seed money in her "bank" herself.
