LVRJ: Nevada casinos, Tax Commission reach deal on comped meals
I think some casinos have recently begun paying tax on comped meals and on meals provided for free to casino employees.
I stayed at Bellagio a few weeks ago. Meals were comped but the tax on the meals stayed on our account. Used express comps to pay the tax.

Casinos have already paid 350 million in taxes on comped meals. The State was afraid of a court ruling that the tax is unconstitutional and the 350 million would have to be paid back. They were looking for a way to settle with the casinos by no longer taxing comped meals but not having to pay back the 350 million, which would put them in a budget bind.

Ellis Island was charging tax on meals when I used their
coupon as payment. In fact their policy was (and still may be)
the strangest I have ever encountered.
Their prime rib meal is described as including an EI beer or
root beer. My bill would show that they added the price of
the beer (not the root beer, tho) to the listed price, computed
the tax on that total, then subtracted the price of the beer to
arrive at the total due.
G'luck all,
