Question of the Day - 28 June 2018

At Cobo Hall Convention Center in Detroit, it "sheepishly" takes as many as four to screw-in a lightbulb as it's a Union Shop. Similarly, we have had as many as four people "help" us into a cab from a hotel. Unless it is raining hard, we tip no one but the cabbie, based on his performance. "Long-hauled" gets no tip. Are we "frugal" or just plain cheap?

I asked my Host (high-end Strip property) this question.  He said "They would be very happy with twenty-five."  I should have, but didn't, go on to ask "twenty-five each?"  There are usually three of us, husband, our friend, and myself.  Husband and I do $40 and friend does $30, total of $70 which ought to make him/her "very" happy, though that may be over doing it.  I took it that Host probably meant $25 for the both (or all three) of us, but we hate to appear cheap and $25 for three of us sounded low, like close to what a taxi ride would cost (but much nicer). 

Let's see... free play, room comps, free limo. That tells me you don't have champagne taste but a beer budget. They don't hand out those things to a player who never plays.

Live a little. Drop a C-note. Be George!

It's not like you are paying for room, plus resort fee, plus whatever else they are throwing your way.

Be George.

I think $5 per person from airport to strip is about right. Regardless of where you stay, chances are you lost a bundle to qualify for a limo ride.The limo ride is a tip to you for your losses. You don't want to return to much of your tip. As an aside, I live locally so I never need a ride from the airport but that's what I would do. Now from Reno airport to     Tahoe or from Philadelphia airport to Atlantic City that's a different story, perhaps another subject for the Question of The Day.

The "free limo ride" to the Chicken Ranch is worth a $20 tip. The drivers gets paid by the lady that you were with. So,he gets paid twice.

I get limo to/from the airport when I stay at the Mirage and tip $40 minimum.  If the trip has gone well and I'm up a bunch of money I've tipped as much as $100 for the trip to the airport.
My gut instinct is that $20 would be the minimum, assuming you get decent service (ie:  courteous, showed up on time, etc).
