Times are definitely hard and unfortunately those who make their living through tips are the first to feel it. I am planning on coming to Vegas next month only because I received free tickets to see Elton John, a free room at Harrahs and was able to use some of my frequent flyer miles. If that wasn't available to me, I would not come at all this year. Last year I visited Vegas 4 times. I noticed Harrahs has downgraded their player comps and, as a result, I will only come to Vegas once this year. I am certainly not going to be giving $5 tips unless the service is exceptional. Sorry but if the sad economy is affecting my pocketbook it will also affect those who receive tips from me. Don't get me wrong, if I am provided a service I will tip but not as much as I used to.

One more comment. Maybe the upscale, wealthy players that Vegas seems to be catering to can keep Vegas profits from tumbling.
