Tipping Casino Hosts

#1

I thought we are not supposed to tip hosts.

Wow – $10,000 to TWO employees. High expectations that I wouldn’t meet!!!

I forget what we gave our host when we won the 1/2 mil tournament but we
thought it was pretty generous. But she gave us dirty looks every time we
saw her after that. Fortunately we quit playing at Caesars soon after that
win - and when we went back recently we used another host.

Bartenders are known to expect far-too-big tips. Some hosts also.

Actually most casinos have rules about tipping and hosts. A few do not allow their hosts to accept tips at all. Many have a monetary limit. However, hosts all over the US mostly routinely "break the rules" in this area. In all our almost-30 years of gambling we have never had a host refuse a tip except one (from NYNY) who said she was limited to $75 when we gave her $100. We solved that problem by Brad and I each giving her $50 separately.

Brad and I probably routinely "break the rules" because we don't ask what the rules are. We just make friends with our hosts and give generous gifts to them when they go out of their way to serve us. We are generous to everyone that way - especially Brad is. When he is out of Vegas, he still wants to tip everyone who does anything for him.

Tips never "cost" us - we always get back much more than we give. Cast thy bread upon the waters...and you reap smiles, friendships...and yes even monetary benefits. We just can't help that!!!! It is really hard to give more than you receive!

Jean, I really love Brad. He's a sucker for every panhandler that comes down the street. So am I.

And this is one of the big reasons I love him. He – and you, Mickey – have tender hearts and a sweet spirit. Those elements make a very good person!!!
