Re: Price gouging at WSOP?
What is the standard tip for a drink?
And if I'm on the subject, I'd love to hear a quick course in American tipping (and I won't even go into how dumb that is and how it all revolves on the pathetic conditions given to workers). What do you tip a dealer after you win a cash game hand? What do you tip a Taxi driver (why the [censored] do you tip taxi drivers?!)? Who else am I expected to tip in a regular vegas day?

[/ QUOTE ] Vegas is probably the tipping capital of the world. A server in a restaurant should be tipped 15% and up (more for extra service or extra good service). The valet parker should be tipped. There is a tip jar on the counter of every bar and coffeeshop (I ignore these but I am a cheap old woman). The chambermaid should be tipped. The bellman should be tipped. If you get a haircut or other personal grooming services, the provider should be tipped. There are plenty of threads on tipping strippers and negotiating with other sex workers. Luggage handlers at the airport should be tipped. The guy at the airport who does curbside checkin expects a tip, but the folks at the ticket counter who do the same thing don't get tipped (go figure!). Basically just about anyone who does anything for you in Vegas should be tipped. If you fail to tip someone who is expecting a gratuity or if your tip is deemed too small, you will be made to understand your lapse.

Re: Price gouging at WSOP?
Tipping in Vegas:
Poker tournaments: 0 (a tip was taken out already) Tip Jars: lame Valet: $1-$5, I dunno. I use the self park I think you should give taxi drivers a convenient amount, usually I go up to the next dollar + 1 (i.e. $12.50 - 14, unless they were surly then 13) Strippers will figure out a way to get your money anyway so don't worry aobut tipping them, anyone else you should only tip if you want them do something substantial for you right then.

The casinos would rather you drink while you play a table game whatever it maybe.
