The advertisement I brought with me promised me a free gift bag upon check in. My "gift bag" consisted of one $450 hat.

fyp.

to the person who doesn't understand why there is a fee for the CEO poker tour, uh, that's their cut, that's pretty understandable that CEO poker tour should get *some* money out of the tournament, and not just the venetian.

not that this whole thing isn't shady as hell anyway.

Yeah, but it should be called a $2250 + $200 + $50 or whatever. Indicating that $2250 goes to the prize pool, $200 to the casino/organizers, and $50 to the staff. That's pretty standard.
