Someone PMd me this message. Not sure why it wasn't posted on this thread.

The only thing you are leaving out is breaks and getting sent home early, and not working 8 hours. Most dealers work about 2 of 3 hours during the main event, and only for 5-6 days. Many dealers have travelled across the country, and the ME is their bread and butter pay day. So if you figure they only get to work about 25 hours during the ME and get 60 an hour it isn't really all that great.

That makes better sense to me. $60 per hour makes it sound a lot richer than moving to Vegas to work for a week for $1500. Of course they just didn't deal the main event, but if you think the average dealer made $6k for the month, that's not a ton of money considering travel/lodging, and dealing with getting a month off at your current job.
