Let me explain something here. Splain it to ya. The execs in charge of poker in las vegas are almost entirely total idiots. Therefore whatever the stupidest and worst for poker possible decision is, that's the one they usually make.

Now let me ask you a question. How much is a coke at disneyland? Soft drinks are surprisingly expensive there. And if disneyland had the choice of charging $4 or $5 for said coke, which option do you think they will take?

Big difference, Disney has a monopoly on drinks sold inside their park, very few people will leave to get food/drinks once they are inside unless they are leaving for the day. People can decide to play/stay elsewhere for poker.

I agree totally, with a clarifier. One player I know who meets people at redrock every week has already decided to go elsewhere. Some of this player's friends have 200,000 points, one in excess of a million. These dollars will go elsewhere, but no one will be able to show this happening with their little accounting spreadsheets, so it will be ignored.

The problem is that the ripple effect (i.e. Collusion, illegal but we all know it's commonplace anyway) will go thru vegas till all the rooms are like this. Thus the casinos will pat themselves on the back (even tho they screwed themselves) and the poker players will just be screwed.
