Comments on: INTERESTING READS https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/frugal-vegas/interesting-reads-6/ A Las Vegas Advisor Blog from the "Queen of Comps" Thu, 16 Apr 2020 18:08:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.7.4 By: Kevin Lewis https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/frugal-vegas/interesting-reads-6/comment-page-1/#comment-70105 Fri, 11 Aug 2017 17:06:53 +0000 https://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/frugal-vegas/?p=11059#comment-70105 I guess my reaction to all those Strip “bargains” is that they’re relative–“only” $15 for a snack and “only” $10 for a drink, and so forth–and you have to ferret out such “deals.” Why bother when this city is saturated with ACTUAL bargains? I can get a complete steak dinner at Ellis Island or SIX beers at South Point for the cost of one “specially priced happy hour cocktail” at the Golden Commode, or wherever.

I’ve never seen an article on this, but the biggest WSOP winner by far–dwarfing the Main Event first place winner–is the IRS. Imagine–28 percent or more of EVERY PRIZE! And yeah, maybe they don’t wind up collecting all of that, but still–talk about a windfall–and the government doesn’t have to lift a finger!
