How about hiring a few more serving beverages on the floor.The reason i quit playing there was this problem. Sat there for a hour and never saw anyone to get a drink. So go up to the bar and explain it?, they told me it would have to be bought at the bar or put a 10.00 dollar bill in the machine....and no problem. Is that customer service at its best? I don't think so Tim... Havent been back since.

For all those Metro-Bashers out there, that coluums I have read in the past, try going to work each & every day,knowing that you may encounter one or more of these situations every day. These people put there lives on the line every day.Ranging from drug abusers to scumbags who have no regard to human life.Not to mention all the intoxicated drivers who place innocent people at risk of being hurt.So before you post a negative comment again, just stop and think about the jobs these people have chosen.When they ask you to step out of a car,place your hands over your head,have a seat on the ground, please follow their orders. Their methods are only to protect themselves and you. If you have broken the law,deal with it. You made those decisions all by yourselves.And these officers are here to make society safe,whether you like them or not.I personally commend them for such a
dangerous job,and feel safe that these people will place their lives at stake to protect me.
I just hope you think about this before you post jokes or terrible comments of these officers that are being placed in situations like this.

I sat here reading these comments so far, & i wonder just how funny would it have been if it was a brother,son or a related family member, who had fallen from this scumbag.
My sincere sympathy to his family.And i thank the Law enforcement team for grabbing this low-life before he harmed anyone else.

Possible another identity, might have tarvie marks on undies, when he could have slipped and fell, after fleeing.
Wonders if another charge of indescent exposure should be sought.Pull Your Pants Up !

I refuse to play server-based machines....period.
And if the time comes when all casino's turn to this method, I will retire from *Gambling*. The key word gambling to me is than I'll play on a chance,not with anyone who can chance the outcome at anytime. These machines are already too tight to attract travelers. And Especially the residents of Nevada, who freguent the resorts weekly.These rocket scientists have destroyed the image of Las Vegas. When are these shareholders ever going to listen the the people who freguent casino's? They only thing I can see that attracts people to Vegas is alcohol.So why don't you scientists raise the prices on that too? You've made the rooms so expensive, that people won't enjoy anything else.And they are not in the rooms for maybe 8 hours....lol. And shame on the regulators for letting this happen!Not only they can't see down the road on this,They don't even care about what is fair Gambling.I have another great idea for you casino's,take the lites off the top of those machines & save them for your marquee's,because you surely don't use them anymore !! If ya don't believe it? Take a stroll thru your own place, and see how many are lit. I sure did. And boy, do I feel sorry for the locals who have seen it day in and day out! God, I miss the old days where you felt you could have fun,and know that somebody is making these games fair.

I agree with you on that one environ...these punks just might think twice before terrorizing people.At least we would have a fair chance to defend ourselves,from the trash that has no respect for anything.

Wow! Am i hearing this right? they can tighten up machines? And here i thought it was just my terrible luck.Stupid me , to think that the casino's would try to take as much of your money, everytime you sit and gamble.Now that incredible that they can change the percentages at any time and hope the average gamble won't notice. All this time, they stated they just couldn't do that. And under the watchful eye of the Gaming board. As far as I'm concerned, both parties are at fault for the steady decline of gamblers coming to Las Vegas.It boils down to one word....GREED.For me, I am glad to see Las Vegas gaming being brought to their knees,Because maybe.....just maybe they will try to figure out why they lost their customer base. I've lived here for 4 yrs now, and have 1 tax slip to prove how loose these casinos are. And it was barely over the allowed limit (1285.00).And that slip was hit the 1st yr out here.Since then, I've given that back 10 times over. So with that in mind,would ya think i would lure my family and friends out here, when they can hit better at their local state casino's? These rocket scientists or CEO's need to understand that the gamblers are getting smarter to the ways of percentages. All they have to do is sit down with a few hundred at a machine, and watch it dissappear in a hour.
In my opinion, the casinos need to make a constant profit.....not record setting profits, as they have done this past few yrs before the economy hit the ground.And these bonuses for these execs should not be paid out as cash. They should be getting their bonuses in company stock. Thats what is happening to us now. They cut employees and their benefits, lay more off, to show a better quick profit,enabling them to cash out and run with it.
And as far as the locals, the ones who constantly spend there money at their local favorites, are seeing the light too. But you multiply the local patrons by 10 (includes all family and friends out of State)and you can see why locals aren't telling folks to come out and enjoy a fair percentage of gaming. I can tell you 1st hand that my family and friends are doing much better playing at their local casino's, than they would coming out here.Most of mine have,and been purely dissappointed on the prices of food,lodging, and the tight machines. And if you think about it a minute,most people who do hit alittle,give it right back in form of food,lodging, and intertainment,or more gaming. At least they don't feel like they are being robbed.Thats the way it looks today folks! And i doubt it will turn around, because of this greed.

Violence is a re-accurance with our young children. Parents need to reach out to these kids, whether they like it or not, and let them understand that having fun is one thing,bringing weapons and other violence to get-togethers are not a good thing.Their lives could be spent up in jail/prisons. And they will eventually regret their actions. Its a teaching lession that has to continue throughout their lives. Parents? Wake up and get ahold of your children. Whether they a 12 or 30 yrs old, ya just gotta have these talks to them. My boy is 32, and I still refresh his mind about whats right and wrong.Has it ever come across any minds that gang activity is probably due to the fact that parents are either too busy, or don't care about what is going on with their kids.....until its too late, like this young girl. My heart goes out to her family. And if I had 1 wish to be granted, it would be our children being more responsible and caring than have them hurting or not having values of lives. My only reason why this wish can't be granted,is because parents are not aware what they're children are doing, and how to get the help they need.

Bikers like myself are not neccessarily punks. 2 thoughts about this trajic event,Bikers must anticipate stupid drivers,who don't have a clue about driving safe. And auto drivers have to realize,that the time of the season for more bikers are here.Get out of town bikers, if ya wanna crank em up alittle. And Auto drivers, please be aware of responsible bikers.

Dear Postcommander & BorisR,
I understand about how much money has to go in before it comes out of any machine. My name reflects that i play alot of keno machines.I play 20 card,4 card, bonus keno's, as well as regular keno.And thats all i play, because i enjoy it. But my personal experience of approx 15 yrs of playing, i have noticed that the return on slots are terrible.This didn't happen over night, its been a slow decline of paybacks, thus reflecting why people will not play as much as they did. Its not the players fault. Its these execs that crunch #'s to get profits, and those profits base their salaries.So in 1 point, I can understand that they have to make money to survive. But I think it has drawn to the extreme, that the middle class that flooded Las vegas,Like myself,over the years, have decided its just not as fun anymore to visit and play any slots with out hearing or seeing anyone getting excited about winning alittle money now & then.And thats a fact that I experience here in Vegas. Not being Negative, as ghostcommander assumes.I would love to see Vegas flourish with people, as it does creat jobs. But this wonderful country of mine,gives me the right to speak freely. And my true feeling is that until the Casino's understand what the people are here for, and how much profit do they have to get without losing the travelers that love to gamble. If ya look at the postings,theres quite a few, that explain the rooms are expensive,the comps have dwindled, airfare has risen,and food is expensive. But as a resident of this great state, that doesn't need a room,doesn't need a flight, and eats at home.I'm hear to say that the paybacks are terrible. Is it bad to tell folks my experiences?....Maybe. But in my opinion, the bonuses and salaries of
the companies should be paid by stock in their companies. Then maybe they'll think about long term success, instead of how they can cut in the lives of workers that actually make Las Vegas enjoyable.Most middle class have seen the changing of the guards.The rich are getting richer, and they are pushing middle class out of the picture.Your seeing it many times over how greed has taken over our wonderful country.And Las Vegas gambling is no different. But until the casino's understand what brings people out here, and they do, or you wouldn't see slots everywhere ya go.Your gonna see folks playing in their own states.God Bless the United States ! And my freedom to express. Thats my opinion....and I'm sticking to it !
