Wynn screws the dealers

[/ QUOTE ]

I think this is at least debatable.

Even Steve is admitting now he screwed the dealers. Shouldn't that kinda end any debate?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really. He's just posturing now.

QFT. Steve probably has big plans, and the dealers wont like it.

I don't get this. The article states there are 633 full time dealers. Taking $10,000. from each would be $6,330,000.

I don't know anything about running a big Las Vegas casino, but it seems only negative fallout can come from the casino trying to claim this money. Unless they're now going to try to replace a large portion of dealers with machines, then taking ~$6.5 million a year from the dealers and handing the majority of that to the supervisors vs. having to deal with another union makes just ponying up more money for the surpervisors a better deal for the casino.

If Wynn had just paid the supervisors more, or had many more dual rate dealers/floor personnel then it seems to this outsider that he would have been much better off than he is going to be now.
