On a recent trip to Las Vegas, I wondered where a person could sit in a casino to have the most frequent drink service from cocktail waitresses. If consistent drink service is important to you, you should pay attention to where you sit in a casino. Remember, your money is as important to the waitresses as it is to the one-armed bandits lining the aisles.

The Study

While in Las Vegas, I spent two hours in six different casinos to monitor the delivery patterns of the drink waitresses. I wanted to make sure I studied different types of casinos with various types of patrons and various reputations on drink service according to Frommer’s, so the casinos included in the study were Bellagio, Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall, Planet Hollywood, Four Queens, New York, and Venetian. In each casino, I sat at a table game with a view of the bathrooms for one hour and one hour at a slot machine bank with a view of the main door. I did not rate special play areas such as the sports bets, video poker bars, or poker rooms, as they often have dedicated waitresses.

Where to Sit?

The table games are the best place to sit on the casino floor and play if constant cocktail service is important to you. Across the board, a waitress was at my table between six and eight times during each hour I played a table game. The second-best location for drink service would be at the slot machines near the table pit at an average of five visits per hour. The higher the dollar amount of the slots is equivalent to faster service at the more expensive properties such as Bellagio and Venetian, while there was not a difference at the less expensive or posh properties to the tune of six waitress visits per hour to four. The worst places to sit were by the bathrooms or entrances, as these locations were only visited twice each on average.

Why the Best?

People are traditionally going to be wagering more money at the table games than at the slots. Las Vegas cocktail waitresses know they are more likely to have better tips where more money is in play. Since the close-to-table slot machines are likely to be along the path between the bar and the table games, these locations are going to be visited by waitresses on a regular basis.

Why the Worst?

People who are playing by the bathrooms are more likely to be sitting there for a short time as they wait for a friend or relative to come out of one of the facilities. These people would be more likely to turn down drink offers. People near the door will likely be stopping quickly on the way in to try the slots or making one last try before moving on to the next property. These people will be more likely to be in their prospective areas temporarily and not interested in drinking much.

Table games and the slot machines around them are traditionally in, or near, the middle of a casino. The largest mass of the bars in these casinos (roughly 60 percent of all bars in the casinos combined) are in the center of the properties as well. Waitresses are more likely to stay where the action is, and where the highest action is, in an attempt to make the most money. If regular cocktail service is important to you, play near the middle of a casino and stay away from the perimeters. Considering all this, you can also try bandarq online if you are interested in try online poker. 

Memorial Day is coming up and when I was trying to figure out where to go with my friends, the minute I thought about Atlantic City (AC), I knew I had chosen ‘a sure thing’ for everybody. I love casinos, and it’s got nothing to do with the gambling because I don’t gamble that much. Maybe it’s the non-stop hedonism of casinos, the idea of staying up all night just for pleasure and entertainment. For occasional gamblers like me, going to a casino doesn’t cost that much because drinks are usually on the house, and food is cheap. The first time I went to Las Vegas, it was love at first sight and maybe it’s because it’s ‘Sin City’. What’s not to love; they had shopping, clubs and restaurants; all the things I enjoy. Even on a student budget we managed to have a great time. I remember the flight from LA was $50 round-trip and the Days Inn Motel, www.daysinn.com, was $50 per night which worked out to $25 each for the two of us. My friend from London even won a $100 mini ‘jackpot’ which was a windfall given that the buffet was $10 a head and she ended up treating me to dinners.

When you go to Vegas, you quickly find out that the normal rules of decorum do not apply. What goes on in Vegas truly stays in Vegas. People quickly find out that there’s no point in investing a lot of money on accommodation when you’re up all night anyway and when my ex-room-mate went, they had 6 people sharing a room includuing her brother. On another occasion when I was on a modest budget, we stayed at the ‘Circus Circus’, www.circuscircus.com, which has a circus theme as the name implies so that meant the whole hotel was over-run with little kids so I ended up giving up my room because all I did was party all night anyway. On another trip, my friends and I were paying a lot for staying in the Hilton, www.hilton.com, we never really got to bed so we gave up our rooms and the 4 of us moved into one room in a cheap motel off the Strip. The cheap motels off the strip are always interesting because they have skanky casinos full off deadbeat characters who have been banned from the major casinos on the Strip. You spend all your time at the major casinos anyway so it doesn’t matter where you keep your baggage.

Obviously my favorite casinos are the ones with retail shopping and they include The Venetian (www.venetian.com) Caesars Palace (www.harrahs.com) and The Bellagio Hotel, (www.bellagio.com). I can keep myself busy for hours with just the shopping alone so if it ain’t gambling that one is hooked on, it’s something else. Fortunately flight to Vegas from almost anywhere in the US are cheap and I have been know to leave work in New York City on a Friday to go to Vegas and return straight to work on Monday from the ‘red-eye’ flight back from Vegas after my annual pilgrimage.

Closer to home, I could not believe they opened a new casino at The Raceway in Yonkers, close to the ‘hood. Now you do not have to go as far as Foxwoods, www.foxwoods.com, or Mohegan Sun, www.mohegansun.com, the two casinos previously nearest to New York City, for your casino action. The only problem is that there are just slot machines and no tables but they have live bands doing covers and so it is a nice little outing. Once is a while I like to get a rental car and drive out to Mohegan Sun but for real holiday action, if you can’t get to Vegas then Atlantic City will just have to do. There is even some up and coming retail action there. The Tropicana has a shopping arcade now and I can’t wait to check out the renovations at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino, www.trumptaj.com. Since I am a regular at the New York 40/40 Club, www.the4040club.com, I had to check out how the one in AC is.

And no trip to AC is complete without a stop at The Borgata, www.theborgata.com, although I think JLo’s mama emptied out the winnings ever since she won the $2 million jackpot at the beginning which latterly given by the 토토사이트 to those that has a good gameplay on the online games of the websites. I love their 5 cent ‘Megabucks’ machines which promise you millions just for a few nickels (although m machines take actually take coins these days). The best New Year’s Eve I had ever had was at AC where we started out with a concert, everyone gave us free drinks and we partied all night. I don’t even bother getting a hotel in AC, it’s too expensive usually for non-regulars like us who don’t get comps and it’s close enough to drive back to NYC. Heck, I have even taken the granny buses from Port Authority (http://www.panynj.gov/CommutingTravel/bus/html/pa.html) a couple of times, and companies like academy (www.academybus.com) and greyhound (www.grehound.com) even throw in at least $15 in gambling coupons and meal vouchers at the casinos for the price of a $24 round-trip ticket. Another attraction of AC is the boardwalk and the beach which are great in summer like the Fourth of July weekend when everyone is ‘at the shore’.
