so like four floor guys we fired over the past 2 weeks. at least three of them worked the pivotal swing shift and one of them (boba) was the best floor guy i had ever seen.

logic dictates it had to do with some floors having the holier than though attitude towards lower limit players, but i am wondering if anybody had heard anything concrete about this.

I think your FYP is wrong, its commonly what you hear from the local nitty types who won't play at the Bellagio because of xxxxxxxxxxx (insert convenient gripe here). There are lots of legitimate reasons to avoid the Bellagio, thats not one of them.

This type of shake up should also happen in a few other strip rooms. I can think of at least two to three floor staff in each of the big three rooms that need to be shown the door.

Also, keep tuned to the "B", a few other changes are on the way and may SURPRISE the heck out of 99% of you.

Lets see... almost everyone at the Mirage (laziest crew I have ever seen at a busy room), but I can only think of one person at the Wynn and even then I don't think its that big of a deal - retraining would work. You already know my opinions of Venetian staff, its managerial issues not personnel that needs to be fixed first (although I assume a few heads should roll there as well, its just not the priority).

I haven't a clue what you are referring to with Mohegan Sun, unless Dave is moving over there to open the new room and Suzie is replacing him - thats just an educated guess. Speaking of which, didn't Suzie move to Ireland with Howard? OMG this would make a great NVG thread!

The only other Mohegan Sun reference I can think of is that they closed their poker room a few years ago (they are preparing to reopen now). It would surprise the hell out of me if Bellagio was thinking about closing the poker room.

Mohegan Sun didn't close the poker room...Mohegan Sun poker room was forced to shut down...was that the hint?

They're going to shut down the poker room and replace it with .10 slot machines?

If its being a nit to complain that when you walk in and ask to play $4-$8 or $8-$16 they talk to you like you are a complete bother to them. I understand you play a bit higher and they may treat you better, but the fact of the matter is there are too many places I can play poker for me to go to the B and be treated like I am an inconvenience to them.

I guess this is nice to hear. I play low limit and always had the feeling that they really didn't care about my business. Not a gripe, really, I just found different places to stay and play (most recently MGM/Signature).

I suppose I'll give the room a try again.
