Could someone please explain why dealer make so much in tips? Are Americans that eager to throw their money at uneducated people that do little more then throw cards at them? Casinos go through great lengths to make shore that dealers have no say in the outcome of theses games of chance. I hear dealers bitch and complain everyday that some uy hits big and stiffs them. If they lose arethey going to reach in that toke box and give anything back to them. Not a chance. Floor supervisors provide every bit as much customer service as a dealer if not more (i notice that you do not quote the part of the law that defines what a tipped employee is). But that is as far as it should go, dealers and floor people work together and in the case of Wynn it is insane that someone can make $100,000 a year and be supervised by someone making half that.

Steve, this state’s laws are pretty much all cribbed from California’s laws. Face it, this is a corrupt backwater where doctors re-use needles and the governor doesn’t mind because the guy doing it is a supporter of his. Its a place where the Legislature is made up of “Democrats” and “Republicans” who are all hand-picked by the SAME handful of power brokers. Its a place where the guy who blows the whistle on corruption is never heard from again, but the people who are corrupt keep on keeping on.
