Your biggest annoyances / gripes in or about the casino

I hate that players clubs keep upping their tier requirements but continue to cut the comps you can earn.

My brother and I both hate the fact that the Gold Coast closed the Monterey Room. The casinos need to bring their coffee shops back!

Smoke...or more specifically rude smokers who come to a craps table and proceed to blow smoke every which way except up and away from those at the table. I've actually thanked guys before when I saw them light up but they were considerate enough to keep the lit cig away from the table and they blew the smoke away as well...it isn't rocket science.

With all of this technology available, they still have not found a way to speed up the line waiting to get into a buffet.

And why not have coupons with bar codes that can be scanned at a kiosk so that fp or food discounts are loaded onto your card rather than having to have it all done at the Players Club (another long line)?

Last week new year's eve we went to a somewhat local casino.

Every 30 minutes they had a drawing if your name was read you would win $25. I did win it at one time that night. My problem is that it is so hard to hear the announced name. I was surprised that I happened to catch my name that night.

Something else they did. They have had a couple of $5 wild cherry slots sitting in the same location as long as I can remember, literally years. But damn, they had signs on top of each machine that stated "Hot new game" WHAT!

Plus 1

Plus 2.....Smokers with no consideration to those around.......

biggest annoyance is the resort fees. Stop the fees!!! Why are we paying for 2 bottles of water in a resort fee when we can get them 2 for a buck at the ABC store.
Another annoyance is the panhandlers. Way to many on the street.

The loud music at the D drives me out of there unless in the bag and winning and never hear it and 3 or 4 women betting 50 on a penny machine and screaming and screaming when they hit for $2.50 or less.....

I read an article from a Vegas historian recently that he thinks Vegas is in some serious trouble. The explosion in the number of new casinos as gambling is legalized in more and more states (Maryland and Pennsylvania have almost destroyed Atlantic City) means fewer people need to travel long distances to places like Vegas to gamble.

So how do the casinos respond? By increasing the table minimums, decreasing slot payouts, reducing room offers, and offering almost nothing in the way of comps. They've added great restaurants and some cool shows, but now seem to be catering to the "Jersey Shore" d-bag crowd who just want to get drunk, go to clubs, scream "Vegas, baby!" and get into fights, particularly the guys who couldn't pick up a girl at the previously mentioned clubs. Granted, this is primarily on the Strip, but when/if people start getting wise to what a ripoff it is for gamblers, they'll stop coming altogether.

I still go at least twice a year (love staying there in summer for the pools, and then in December for football weekends), but I know several people who quit going because they can just drive a couple of hours to a local place.

I sound like a curmudgeon, but in all honestly, it's still our favorite vacation spot.
