Price gouging at WSOP?
I read in a blog that cocktail servers won't serve people that aren't playing in a game. If want a beer and aren't in a game it costs $6.50 at the bar. Water costs $4 a bottle. Can anybody at the WSOP give some other prices for food items?
That and the 9% juice with the smaller buyin events, and Harrah's is turning the WSOP into the Disneyworld of poker. (source was a poker dealer's blog that had adverts. You can google "Table Tango blog" to find it.) |

It is only price gouging if alternatives are not easily available.

1) Go to the slots, stand in front of one with a player's card hanging from one of those gay little leashes.
2) Order a beer from a cocktail waitress 3) TIP 4) Repeat until drunk 5) Tilt off all the money you saved to the chubby white guy with a redneck accent wearing Poker.com gear |

My wife and I will sit at the 1cent slots playing "Guess who's the hooker" and the cocktails waitresses will come serve you drinks (for the standard tip). |

My friends sat with me at the poker table at Bellagio and Caesar's, and as long as I tipped, the waitresses would bring drinks for everyone. |
