Re: Borgata Poker Room - Red Bull?
[ QUOTE ]
In regards to the OP and others who whine about higher limit players getting Red Bull, Fiji, etc. - get over it. As has already been said a million times, casinos make very little profit from poker rooms. It's unreasonable to expect them to bend over backwards for everyone.

Can you please tell me where in my OP I was whining? I asked a simple question.
I actually understand the logic behind it. Unlike a soda or mixed drink that may cost the casino $.25, Red Bull costs about $1.75 retail, so Borgata is probably paying $1 a piece. Sure, the player may tip $1/$2 dollars, but the waitress keeps that. If the waitress had to pay the house the cost of the Red Bull, none of them would serve it, as they would make no tips.
I have never played poker at Borgata, and in fact, never stepped foot in Borgata until my last AC trip. All my play is at Trump Taj, where Red Bull is served to anyone playing. Now during my next trip, I plan to upgrade to Black Label using my Trump Card and maybe play some lower limit poker. My post was to inquire about something that I had heard but could not confirm, since it was a different situation then what I was used to experiencing.
If I need a Red Bull that bad while I am playing, I'll stop at the Sunoco on the AC Expressway and pick up a four-pack.
