Tax charged when using comp dollars at Harrah's properties in th...

The same thing happens at the Outback located inside the Casino Royale. The
casino gives out comps for whatever amount you desire for the Outback but
then at the resturant they don't deduct the tax. I have asked them at the
Outback about this on both occassions I ate there but never got a straight
answer. It leaves me wondering if they do deduct the tax and then pocket that as
extra tip money. I figured they don't deduct it since they aren't owned by
the casino.

A related situation happens at the Palms. I haven't read all the posts
in this thread so perhaps this has already been mentioned by someone
else.

Last night Shirley and I went to Little Buddha's to redeem a $50 food
comp from my monthly mailer. The bill came to $52 before tax and $56
(rounded) after. I expected my card to be charged for $2 but instead it
was charged for $6.

Upon inquiry, I was told that Little Buddha's was not owned by the Palms
and so tax was charged. Had we received the same bill at Garduno's,
24/7, or the Bistro Buffet, the tax would have "disappeared"24/7, or the
restaurants not owned by the Palms, the tax IS charged, even for comps.
