I tip at our casinos in the bathroom. They hardly ever get anything more than a "Hello." We tip the bathroom workers $20., bellhop $20., room janitor and floor janitor $20. $20. for our valay, and a restaurant waitress $10. per person in our party. Floor waitresses $5. per their trip and handpay person... $20. Our casinos the staff doesn't share tips. We know this for a fact. We know people who we've personally befriended. Our Host, we give our host $200. on holidays. She always does us right.
that’s great you have staff who knows you and gives you great service !
Glad you mentioned custodial staff. They work hard for their money and often overlooked and under appreciated.
they are the unsung hero’s of the casino
So true. Last time I was at Aria I gave $5 to a lady cleaning the slots. She was SO surprised! Couldn't stop smiling and thanking me!
As a Brit, the whole 'tipping culture' in the States leaves me amazed at times. Cocktail waitresses - no brainer, as you say, it's a hard job and it also helps you get a better service. What leaves me absolutely dumbfounded is that if I buy something from a store, I have to go through a tip option before I can pay with my card - that's just ridiculous. Buffets are another one - I haven't even had any service yet, and at the check in, I'm invited to give a tip - for what??? Housekeeping - I never want anything extra, other than the room is cleaned and dirty linen is replaced, so I never feel obligated to tip. Queuing for a taxi, and I'm expected to give the guy who's controlling the taxi queue a tip for calling forward a cab - really?? If you think the Brits are bad about this, try the Aussies and the Kiwis who don't tip or expect tips, as they feel it's demeaning. My general rule of thumb is that if someone does something above and beyond the job which they're being paid for, then I'll tip. Good guide, though, thankyou.
Just tip. Tipping is good Karma
great view from across the pond with non tipping culture. it’s something that is not bad but has also gotten out of hand.
A woman alone should use a bellman even a light bag for Security. There have been p
Predators that are hiding behind exit doors and pillars that when you open the door they will appear and tackle a women into the room. A $5.00 insurance policy.
I'm glad we finally have a more indepth video on tipping. I'm glad you covered everyone and what you do. An average Joe's perspective.
avg dave's perspective anyway :)
Great video.
I always give the bath room attendants a couple of bucks. And the ladies that disinfect the machines.
Last night one of the ladies told me, ‘good luck’ and I ended up winning a hand pay. I looked for her at the end of my visit to tip her and thanked her for the well wishes.
that’s awesome you made sure to thank her
Hi Dave. I hv heard others try to explain the order of tipping and you hv gone above and beyond explaining the tipping way. You hv really explained it in detail and want to thank you.
I was once a waitress and hv always acknowledged people who do for me.
My ex husband was just the opposite. So you know why he is an ex.! Ha
Really enjoyed yr "tip" explanation.
Hv a great weekend!😊
Glad you enjoyed it Janet!
Love this. And very helpful. Next time I’ll make sure I plan for tip money and have the smaller bills on hand. I always tip drink servers and slot attendants but sometimes miss housekeeping staff. You are a man after my own heart with your nice rooms, extra towels, and jetted tub! ❤❤❤❤
When we go to Vegas we have a separate envelope for our “tip” money. We plan our days and activities and figure up the tips. We do this for shuttle at the airport, limo pickup, check-in, check-out, housekeeping bringing me extra blankets, housekeeping every day. I do a thank you card with a tip in it every day we are there for housekeeping. We figure up our meals and leave cash tips. Coffee tips, etc. We also take extra to thank attendants around the casinos, in the bathrooms, out on the strip cleaning. All those people help make our trip more enjoyable.
great idea on tip money envelope , then it’s not coming out of your budget
Used my GSGS poker chip as good luck at Poker today and won first place! Came back from behind against bunch male players....aaaah! Gave my friend a GSGS poker chip and he came in second- woowho. Great video,I love to hear what others are tipping. I am right around your amounts for tips Dave. Never had hand pay but will tip well when I get one- Working on it!
That is awesome!
You are so right about tipping the restroom staff. I actually never thought about that but now when I have extra I definitely will do that. Excellent tip there’s my tip for you.! lol
glad you liked it, more good stuff coming.
I love to tip. As someone who worked in a tips profession in the olden days, where a quarter was a good tip. Have never had someone not say thank you. Have been the benefit of being treated as a VIP at my favorite casino, as they remember me. And my monthly trips are now once or twice a year, and still are remembered fondly, and they still ask about my family. My opinon is, why not make someone feel impotant, or put it in a slot machine??? If you can't tip because you need it to put it in a machine, then you need to stay home. A tip to help someone is more important than putting in a machine. Plus, tipping is absolutly good Karma!!!!!! And if you are loosing your butt, evaluate your tipping policy. As always just my opinon and my experiences. Plus the word "Tips" started originaly before service. Tips means " to insure promp service"
what you put out there comes back to you!
I tip very much like you, with a few exceptions....
If I am wanting to drink heavy at the time, I will tip $5 per drink on the first round (and ask for doubles starting on the second round), then if the service remains fast, and the drinks are good, I will stick to $5 per trip they make (usually for 2 drinks).
I do not tip the 1st night of housekeeping. If they do a good job, I will tip $10-$20 per day (dependent on my room type - normal room is $10, suites are $20). - If they did not do a good job on the 1st day, I generally only leave $10 on the day of checkout.
Cab valets are $2-$3 (cab drivers, I round up to the nearest $5 increment)
I also like to slip $5 to the cashier at any food hall that has good service. (Sometimes, I will even ask to speak to the cook if it was good, and give them $10-$20. This really makes their day, and they are very appreciative)
For dealers, I will only make a wager for them, and only toss them something for their drop box when I am leaving the table.
For any jackpots, I will tip from $40 upwards to 2% of what the net (after taxes) of the jackpot is, depending on how quick they are, whether they followed my request for payment type/method, etc....(I have never won over $8500 on any single payout, and I capped the tip then at $100 - I did hit $4k on a first hand of Mississippi Stud once, and tipped the dealer $200 (5%) on that one, mainly because as he was counting it out, he encouraged me to take the money and go home, and not to keep playing any of it, which is rare, since dealers generally want to keep you playing, to increase their tip potential)
There is an Indian casino I go to, where the dealers get to keep all of their tips (excluding craps & roulette which are shared)
I always ask them what kind of tips they have gotten, and the worst I heard of was a dealer that dealt a $54k jackpot hand and was tipped just 1 green ($25). The best I heard of was a dealer that dealt a $120k jackpot and received a $10k tip.
They say it is rare to get a 10% tip, and that some are in the 5% area, but most are 1% or less.
Most of the dealers there work 3-4 days per week and make about $60k-$70k per year (and their days are only 6-hour shifts - Which I would gladly take that job! (before I retired, I used to work 60-70 hours per week and only made $100k, so $60k for 18 hours of work a week would be cake!)
Great perspective and thanks for sharing !
Love the new background @Dave and great info on tipping. Thanks😊
Thank you for this video. The topic of tipping a slot attendant has always been so controversial in a few of the casino FB groups I’m in.
it’s always going to boil people’s blood over tipping.
Hi Dave, as always awesome info. Thx for putting $ amounts on housekeeping, also I always wondered if the custodial staff got recognized, gonna tip them next time. 👍
they really appreciate it
Great video Dave. Agree with you, custodial staff and they deserve it 🙏💕 and it's meaningful to them
They are the most appreciative
Well done, thanks!😊👏👌
This is exactly what we do when we go to our local casino.The better service we get, the more we tip.My host was awesome. I met her several times. I had a good experience being hosted.My host would not take cash so I always got her something she liked. She had a candle collection, so I got her candles when I would visit. One time, I gave her a very nice pocket size wallet.I did put a few dollars in it. After she opened it. I told her there were a few dollar bills in it that I was taught to always put a few dollars in a new wallet if it was a gift.She thought that was nice. She may have donated the few dollars but I think since it was so small, they probably let her keep it.
never give an empty wallet , my grandfather firmly believed that.
I agree...good, friendly service gets a tip. And i always tip dinner bill in cash because i was a waitress once upon a time and to us cash was king. And housekeeping gets tipped. Great video 😊
thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!
No tipping allowed in New Zealand or Australian casinos. You can’t even play for the dealers. Also, sometimes it’s hard to tip on a cruise ship as they often don’t give you a handpay but give you a slip to take to the cashier. I try to get the crew’s/slot attendants’ names who did the paperwork at the machine and find them later when I have the cash.
Generally I tip $5 a drink. I also tip $5 a day for housekeepers. And always $5 a bag for valets/baggage service. I generally tip dealers when I am doing well-primarily at the end of session. I have never tipped a host as I assume they are at a significantly higher salaried level.
I recently learned that some folks tip the cashiers. It never occurred to me to do this though I’ve started doing it now when I get a big win. Do you?
Thank you so much for this! I have been trying to get a good answer on hand pays for a long time ( in case I get one this trip😀 )
IMO....Spot on!
It was my understanding that, years ago, a Host could not accept cash, gift cards ok, what are the rules now. I always tip restroom attendants and if it’s really clean, I thank them and tell them I appreciate it!
each property is a little different in the practices.
Also helps to have tip money ready for the cocktail waitress. I see them sometimes have to make change at the atm with a tray of drinks in one hand..
I always try and save dollars for this
Agreed 100%
Great Tips! Question on handpays…if more than one casino worker attends the handpay what do you do? I’ve been saying “and this is for you guys”. Super weird when 3 employees come to handpay you on $1200 (Ballys Lake Tahoe).
If there is more than one, the one that counts the money is the one that gets the tip.
When I tip a food waitress I do it in cash, handed directly to them and stipulate that it's a *gift* so they can just pocket it! I worked 2 white linen restaurants in the 70's/80's and always appreciated the generous tippers.
That’s a neat idea. Does it actually help them avoid taxes?
TIPS are taxable but why would they report it when I'm specifying it's a gift.😊😊
Just gotta say - over visits covering 24 years to Vegas and visiting nearly every dang bathroom around - I have NEVER once run into a matron stationed in a bathroom!! Weird.
I did not know common it is having rarely frequented women’s facilities 🤣
I've always wondered about how much to tip slot attendants after a handpay. I never wanted to feel "cheap" so I'd do $100.00 per $1,000.....but that seemed high in some ways as well. Glad to hear the perspective on this video. I'll likely still continue it since I do normally get the same attendants at my local. I like them and they are great at their job.
I will admit though about the money not coming back if having a down session makes me sometimes not want the handpay when on a very nice bonus. I was down $400ish onw night and was on Thunder Drums with a $78 drum/barrell. Got to $1,130 and didn't want another barrell and fistpumped when I didn't cause after the taxes and tip I woulda been down or barely even. I would have tipped anyway but I know it can be a tough for others in that spot.
not paying taxes alone is worth the $1130 win !
here is my view from the uk regards tipping,,,cocktail waitress $2 a drink, taxis 15%, food servers 15% , i dont use valets or bellhops,,,room cleaning i feel i have paid for this when booking a room,but i will leave $10 after a short stay plus loose change, slot attendants 40 bucks on a $1200 win.... tipping culture is getting ridiculous in the us.
great perspective from another region, thanks !
No one has a tip from me for “doing their job “! If I got extra money for doing my job I’d be very rich!
Nice Dave ........
Good subject 👍 late last year I hit my first real jackpot ten grand and as anyone else would be i was very excited i was trying to record some content and the slot attendant kept ruining my parade by keep asking me if I had I.D. and I didn't like her vibes so i didn't feel obligated to give her anything and I didn't feel bad about it either.i genuinely like to tip but only if im getting good service..
Newcomer and glad I found your site!
Do your tipping conventions change at let’s say a Winstar or Choctaw? Love your content.
What is typical for valet parking ? When to tip ? Arrival or departure or both ? Thanks
I never have rented a car that I valet parked, but for me personally if its my personal car $5 drop off and $5 pick up, provided parking is free. If its pay parking , i maybe just pay the drop off guy. Your numbers may vary.
Tipping is getting out of hand. When business owners put suggested tips at 20-25-30% on their paying pads that is crazy. They should pay their employees properly. Watch out for service fees and tips included and they still present you with a bill with a line to add extra tip to that. A store clerk often makes $13/Hr. A union bartender on the strip makes 18-20/Hr plus tips How often does a bartender tip their store clerk? Let's spread the wealth around.
I got asked to tip in the Popeyes drive through the other day. Couldn't believe it.
@@GambleSmart Why not. They make a whole lot less than a bartender and they work just as hard. Does serving a beer in a bar deserve a higher salary and tip on top of that. Working for tips is somewhat degrading, but I have seen cocktail waitresses and valet guys making 250K a year. A waitress at Denny's can make 35K a year. A waitress at the top steak house can make 135K a year for doing exactly the same thing. It's just weird.
Why is tipping the cocktail server "controversial?" It seems almost everyone does that. To me, what is more controversial is the "$20 trick." I've heard from front desk staff, that if there is an upgrade it depends on your history with the casino and/or their supervisor. They have no control over upgrades.
Just left a local, but large, casino. I felt tipped to death. One example is room service. They charged a service fee of $6 and another fee of some sort of $6 and then I tipped another $10 cash. So that's $22 on an $18 breakfast. Then there is the valet. $10 for parking. Then bell service. Two bags = $10, but they had to store them because I was early for check in. So when they brought the bags up, another $10. Room attendant $10 a night. It just went on and on. It used to be $2 for valet, $1 a bag for bell, a couple of dollars for maids. It's just over the top now.
That’s for sure if the new problem popping up every where, from restaurants to shoe stores
Agree w/ most of your comments...where I differ from sum is the slot attendant that pays the handpay. To me a (high) percentage to someone after I beat the odds and hit, ain't gonna happen. I definitely giv 10-20$ but that's it...and I am a good tipper(after wife schooled me on Vegas)...always tip crops dealers, tuff game to deal and dice people can be suckas! Ha! Good stuff...👍🎲🎰👍
What’s a reasonable valet tip? I tip car in and out. I also will tip on whole restaurant bill which includes tax, sometimes I think I should be tipping on total amount minus tax.Also if I get a discount off my meal bill will tip on non discounted price, the servers served me that amount.If paying dinner bill with a charge will leave the tip in cash, my nephew who was wait staff said if you put tip on charge they don’t get that full amount
If I'm going to be super quick, I tip $5 and ask the valet driver to keep the car close. If I'm going in for the night, I tip $1. I also tip $1-$2 when they bring my car back.
$5 for pick up and $5 for drop off if its your personal car , maybe a few bucks if its a rental. Yes if you tip on the bill , they take taxes out.
Tipping 15% on the TOTAL amount INCLUDING tax, on a $100 tab is about $1 more than a pre-tax total (depending on tax rate), by all means stand your ground & save a BUCK.
And, at least you tip properly on a discounted meal, the FULL price before discount.
Morning Dave
hello rosemary !!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Just watched this video. Good info, but I still have a question. When I hit a jackpot, sometimes I have 3 people show up. One that rekeys my machine and takes my info for the 1099, and then one that pays me out, and sometimes, not always, a person comes to watch the pay out. Am I suppose to tip all 3? I did ask once if they share tips, and the girl that paid me out said she shares with the cashiers, but not the people that rekey the machine.
tipping is totally optional, however when multiple show up i tip the one that pays the money
Why tip? Does the casino tip you when you give them your money? What service is provided that warrants a tip?
Maybe you loose because you do not tip. Karma can be a hard task master sometimes
as i says it’s all personal preference.
Does the 20 dollar sandwich really work?!?
Blackjack dealers at Ellis Island don’t have to share tips
Great info! thank you!
How much when you tip when you leave your luggage at the Bell desk if your room is not ready? Do you deep both times, when you leave the luggage and when you pick it up? Or only one time?
Just tip, regardless. It's good Karma.
usually 2-3 bucks a bag or a $5 if i don’t have change
@@GambleSmart thanks
They should tip me
Be thankful I’m there
🤣😂🤪🤣😂🤪
Just kidding
Just kidding
I TIP…and TIP WELL when service is excellent no matter where I go.
excellent service should be rewarded , keep up the good work!
When a Limo is included in a Vegas casino offer, how much to tip from airport to casino?
I generally tip $10 a person , thinking what an uber would be , if it’s just me and the driver is cool, i have tipped $20
I tip $50 each time. The driver is waiting for me at baggage claim, grabs my luggage from the carousel, and takes it to the car, as I stroll behind him (all have been males). I appreciate the customer service and being treated like I’m special. Don’t get me wrong, I know why I am getting the service. It still feels good and I appreciate the service.
Is there a way to write off your tips?
Not that i know of
I was giving a $1 tip to waitress in the 80s. Step it up in 2024
How do you feel that roulette dealers can impact the game. Have you done a video on that and if not, could you?
Ever wonder why a pit boss changes out the ball on roulette? Balls are different weights. So they do because some dealers can control speed and point of release to hit within 4 to 5 numbers (whether consciously or unconsciously)
@@spiritualjennilou101 I don’t play roulette but I am fascinated with all casino games.
I will work on it , it’s the only game where the dealer releases the ball and can impact the outcome.
Call Mr Pink, I don't go to a casino to make friends with the staff.
Good reference !!
Dave, my pai gow dealer said if a player is dealt the 7-card straight flush draw ($127,000+) they are obligated to tip the dealer at least 15% of the post-tax jackpot money.
She personally believes she's responsible for dealing that hand and feels entitled to that tip.
How do you and Marc feel about this? Is it fair?
100% not obligated to tip anyone for anything. The deal just turned the cards, if there is an auto shuffler, they did nothing to impact the game besides a fraction of a % when they cut the cards to put them into the shuffler. Only Roulette dealers have the chance to impact the game.
IF a Dealer had said that to me, I'd tell that Dealer to....
I tip, but that was a piss-poor comment by the Dealer.
I do tip Craps dealers, but never in cash. I put a tip amount next to my bet and announce 'For the Boys and under my control" That way their rooting for you (them). I like Dealer's on my side. Often times that tip could be quite large depending upon the bet.
@@bogeys1242 it's the entitlement for me. I hope she's happy with the $1k I'm willing to give her because it can easily be $5 or nothing at all.
Nah faaaaaq that, she ain’t getting 💩 from me, especially after saying that
That’s a firing offense in some casinos
How much do you tip the when you win a Handpay? I know some people pay 2% of the win. So if you win $1200 you pay them 2% which is $24. $24 !!!!! WOW!!! That doesnt sound like much. LOL LOL I would say $50. Who can can chime in on this???? Thanks
I tip $20 or 1~2% but it’s as all on the service provided. it may not sound like a lot , but if you look at it from the point of view, they did nothing to help you win and they are not gonna give it back if you lose. go with what you think is best for you.
Some of my host's cannot accept tips.
Each casino is different in this policy.
I do not tip anyone but the servers. Sorry... but I do not have to share my winnings with those who pay me.
Dave, my Pai gow dealer said if I won the 7-card straight flush ($127,000), she'd expect 15% of the post-tax jackpot. she feels personally responsible for dealing my winning hand, so it's only fair that I give her 15%.
How do you and Marc feel about this? Is it fair?
I think HELL NO.
Did the dealer offer you 15% of your losses for the responsibility of dealing you losing hands?
@@4jp she told me with an absolutely straight face. 😅 And here I thought $1k for dealing me the winning jackpot was super generous. Guess I'm 11k short LOLOLOL
@@4jpI totally agree. If she can return 15% of your losses, then go ahead and tip 15%. LOL!
Wow! They cannot demand tip! Definitely not fair!
they are not impacting the game unless they manually shuffle the cards. and 15% that’s an insane amount, i do not think she is thinking rationally about being owed that ammount.
nothing ,tipping is for yanks , i will never tip any body !
Great tips Dave 😘🍀🍀🍀🌹
Glad you liked teresa !
P.S. had my GSGS shirt on had( during poker) alot of questions about it, directed everybody to channel. Hope subs go up we have 300 people in Poker club
That was nice of you!
