Tipping is
a custom based on the generosity of an appreciative customer and is subject
to no concrete rules. For those who are unsure, here are a few suggestions
for some tipping situations you may encounter in Las Vegas
|
| Bartenders |
$1 per round for parties of 2 to four; more for larger groups. |
|
| Bellmen |
$5-$8, depending on whether you will need services or advice during your
stay. |
Bingo &
Keno Runners |
If you are playing for an extended period of time, $2
or $3 occasionally, even
if you aren't winning, will be appreciated. |
| Change Clerks |
If a machine fills up your paper cup, remember who gave you the lucky
coins, please. |
|
Concierge |
$5 - 10 for help with dinner reservations
or show tickets. End of the trip just be fair. |
Cocktail
Waitresses |
$1 a round for parties of 2; more for larger groups.
Drinks are generally free when you gamble which of course make you more
susceptible to spend more. |
| Dealers |
If you are losing - $0 Tip
Tips, or "tokes" as they are called in Las
Vegas, either can be given directly to the dealer between hands, throws of
dice or spins of wheel, or small "side bets" are permitted. These can range
from $1 to, generally, half of your bet. |
|
Others |
+ a chip
Craps or blackjack dealer - $5 per session.
Poker - $5
Roulette - $5
Keno writers/ runners - $1 / 5% if you win.
Slots - 5% on a a jackpot, not exceed $25.
Slot Machine Mechanic - $1 or $2 when a
repair is made. |
Guest Room
Attendants |
About $5 per day, usually left at the end of your stay. |
|
Maid Service |
$1 - $5 per day is typical, up to $10 per
day depending upon the mess you left. Tip daily because there might be
a different maid each day. On the side of being generous the last day -
also. |
Restaurant
Waiters |
The standard 15-20 percent rule applies. |
Room Service
Waiters |
The standard 15-20 percent rule applies
unless gratuity is included. |
|
Swimming Pool Attendant |
$2 - $3 per chair at the beginning of the
first day or nothing, unless you require services such as extra seating to
pool toys. Most of the hotels have chairs readily available and in this case
would be nothing. |
| Skycaps |
$2 per bag, depending on size and weight.
An extra $5 - $20 if they help you get to your flight on time. |
Taxi Cab
Drivers |
Approximately 15 percent of the total fare, but not less than $3. |
|
Valet Parking |
Handle this a few ways.
Nice car and want it left out in front of
the hotel where everyone can see it like a big shot? Ask the attendant where
a $20 spot will get you. Don't like the answer say thank you and leave into
the building.
Normally 5$ because most parking at hotels
will be free and sometimes for hotel guest only on weekends. Once again,
money talks if you want in the garage, they'll make room for your car for a
$20.
Service was ok, had to wait? $3, fold the
money in half it will look like a larger wad.
Free parking? $3 to the parking attendant. |
