LVA Question of the Day - 9 MAY 2008

#1

Generally correct. In my case, tips to my hosts are via gift cards. I think
it's okay to still call it a "tip," even though it's not cash. But if you
prefer, call it a "gift."

I can't imagine why anyone would tip a casino host, who is reviewed and
often compensated for your playing and staying in his casino, other than as
a bribe to get more benefits than they are entitled to. Or if you're dating
them or something.

I guess you never heard of the word "thank you". It's a nice gesture
for a host that has treated you very well during the year. Bribery has
nothing to do with it.

If bribery has nothing to do with it, just say "thank you." You could even
smile.

I was under the impression that tipping a casino host was a no-no but small value gifts (not money) up to about $25 are considered OK.
