1. Locals get in free to a number of these clubs, if the family was so concerned about price, they could have been just a bit more patient or planned better and gotten to the club a little earlier
2. No need to disparage the employees of these establishments
3. Price and Value don't always jive
4. Did the daughter and her friends have fun, what's the pricetag on giving your daughter an ubelievable 21st birthday party? Priceless is my bet
And after this editorial, warning the "Casinos" that they should be concerned about unhappy patrons, lets say Tao's (insert Pure Group) reportable revenues drops by 25%, uhhhh oh yeah they will still be the highest grossing restaurant / nightclub in the country. (see list below)
Give me a break, the real issue or warning to issue if any to the "casinos" should relate to licensing with the State Gaming Control Board.
But at the end of the day, do you really think any state agency would take the gaming license away from the top 3 or 4 tax paying entities in the State of Nevada.
Lastly, is paying doormen and other service providers egregious tips a concept unique to Vegas? I think not. Like many other things in Las Vegas, we did not invent this phenomenon but we do it bigger and arguably better than any place on earth.
Tax evasion is wrong. Paying a fee for special treatment is not.
This editorial just does not make any logical sense.

I guess Tao seems to be pretty upset by its unhappy patrons?
Who takes home receipts from the club?
Did you guys speak to the daughter?
Did she have a good time?
A living legend. Well done Coach LaRocque!
