Dealers sued on this, they lost. Did you read Steve's new book, "In Pursuit of the Golden Fleece Job"? No thanks. If a little is good, more's got to be better! |

A few days ago here I've already said that when I just found out Wynn/Encore does not comp drinks at their bars even if you're playing the $10 machines, I cut up my slot cards and will not go there again unless they change that stupid policy. |

That said, like other people, I have a problem with some of their policies. I still make it a point to play blackjack or WPT all-in Hold 'Em for a hour or so every time I'm in Las Vegas, just to get a few drinks and enjoy the atmosphere. Other than that, I don't give them a substantial amount of my business.

| JohnnyQ Member since: Nov 3, 2009 Threads: 36 Posts: 439 | Just stayed 3 nights at Encore based on getting a great offer in the mail. I guess they mistook me for a bigger bettor. Loved the room, it was the nicest we have ever stayed in. But it definitely seemed riduculous to pay $ 4.50 for a diet coke my wife ordered when she was playing at the bar. Doesn't Wynn see how foolish that is for "regular people". My only conclusion is that they want to make it clear that they don't want normal people as clientele, just foolish rich people. How else to explain their lousy paytables ? The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand |

But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

| NicksGamingStuff Member since: Feb 2, 2010 Threads: 37 Posts: 529 | I believe it! $14 cosmo @ the encore bar and I was playing, but they do make it clear before by asking if it is cash or room charge. Living in Las Vegas is not quite as exciting as I had hoped, but I like being able to support myself. |

Just sit down at a penny slot or BJ table, tip the waitress a buck or two, and get your drink. What is the appeal of sitting at the "bar?"
