In my 12 or so trips to Vegas and hours upon hours playing craps, and sometimes blackjack, I’ve seen dealers make errors on payouts. Obviously, this is part of the business, as mistakes happen. When a mistake is in the house's favor, not surprisingly, the players point it out and attempt to have it fixed. The same cannot always be said for times when it’s in the players' favor, I would presume (even though I point it out when I notice it, because I feel it would be luck and karma problems at the tables for me if I didn't). Since I imagine not all players are as proper about that as I am, my question is, what if anything do casinos do to account for that? Is there a built-in assumption that some wins will be paid out improperly and/or overpaid? Or do they assume it washes out, since errors in the house's favor might not always be caught, especially if it's a busy/hot table.

If you’re a Platinum-tier card holder staying at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, you can give the hotel your flight information and they’ll get your airplane boarding pass for you. Once while staying at Paris-Las Vegas, I asked and was told they didn’t provide that service. So it’s not the same across all their properties, or at least it wasn’t when I asked. Can you tell me which of the Caesars Entertainment properties will provide this service and what player’s-club tier status you need to have? Do any other player’s clubs provide this service? It’s a nice perk that helps make you feel a little special, and with so many perks being taken away these days, it’s nice to know what’s still available. Most of this information is not publicized.
