I've read about the plight of this Henderson couple a time or two now, and I feel the need to request that the rest of their night's story be brought into the daylight. I'm afraid Pure was the cheapest part of the evening!
On the way to Caesars, they passed by a homeless man at the intersection of Flamingo and I-15 and were "forced" to give him $100 in order to continue on. And, darn the luck, another money-hungry coin peddler was there at Las Vegas Bld and Flamingo with their hand out for another $80. They turned left and immediately got stuck at a stoplight for a $150 windshield wash. Another $500 to valet, $40 to the tourist from Georgia for opening the hotel door, $75 to the shoe shiner (he didn't shine any shoes, but looked lonely), and, right before they approached PURE's dangerous ropes...they gave someone a grand to gamble with just for the hell of it.
Kidding aside, it sounds like the couple wanted to make sure they were tipping right and outright asked everyone, past the doorman who pressured them, if they needed to be taken care of. I’m not dodging the seriousness of the IRS investigation (huge deal), but these other folks should stay in Henderson.
If you keep tipping the same bathroom attendant to skip the line, you're either drunk, stupid, or trying to show off. Once or twice and you should be good for the night (how often are the peeing anyway? 6x? see a medical professional!). You don't have to tip security, even if they suggest it. And if you did, they should walk you past the bathroom line anyway. And I'm a little confused on the 900 people who helped walk them in the club. Did they make a big circle or something? Simple process. Door --> host stand --> host walks you to table --> cocktail waitress. Who are the rest of these people? Are they sure they weren't just other people in line screwing with them? Haha.
