Re: What the smartest Vegas poker boss will do.
Obviously the OP lacks a little business common sense here. Most poker bosses don't need to provide ANYTHING to the players. Why!? People will still play! This is why Bellagio is cheap with handouts and what not, people will still pack that place because it is Bellagio.
Let's take a look at the Venetian. They opened this massive room in 2006 and nobody showed up to play. So what'd they do!? Well they got smart and started freebies! A badbeat jackpot fully funded by the casino itself! Then they started comping 3.50 an hour to 1-2 and 4.50 an hour for 2-5 and higher. Such a sick deal. Obviously word spread that the room was nice and the comps were great and once the room got packed they took away the generous freebies.
Remember all those free drinks get charged back to the poker room as well. The poker room for the most part is simply there to get you into the casino in hopes that you blow your profit in the pits or stores.
