Hello Mopar Man,
I used to tip the cocktail waitresses one 50 cent piece per drink and
if they were very nice I would occasionally tip two 50 cent pieces
per drink.
My thought process was that psychologically, they would think one or
two 50 cent pieces were better then small change or a dollar, because
they were larger and heavier.
Would I be considered a tight fisted Midwesterner?
Thanks,
The Muff

See Randy's answer on tip compliance. I can add that the rate
agreed upon between the casino and the IRS changes based on the shift
and the area of the floor that the waitress works.
As far as the recommended amount, I would say it's $5 or more since
my wife is a cocktail waitress! ;>)
Alot of people think that when the casino is very busy the
waitresses are making more money. The fact is that people seem to get
cranky and cheap when the place is busy. Particularly if its one of
those days when everyone is there to get a cheesy mug or plastic
sunglasses because of a slot club giveaway - I think those people are
generally cheaper tippers anyway.

their drinks?
Wild Joker and Mopar Man,
Thanks for the information.
Just curious...
How much does the IRS recommend that each Las Vegas casino add
as "income" per drink on each cocktail waitresses' W2 (when they
are
working the floor)?
I usually tip her $1 for a drink (water, beer, soda, juice or
coffee).
Is that considered the recommended amount today?
I.E. Are they making out well financially if everyone tips $1 per
drink?
Thanks,
The Muff

The
IRS thought they were reporting tips less than they really got,
so it
goes this way. They don't have to pay real money, but the IRS
assumes
they make a certain amount for each drink and that's added to
their "income."

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.
