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
Dress Codes

| Bartenders |
$2 per round for parties of 2 to four; more for larger groups. |
|
| Bellmen |
$8-$10, depending on whether you will need services or advice during your
stay. |

or $3 occasionally, even
if you aren't winning, will be appreciated. |

Concierge |
$5 - 10 for help with dinner reservations
or show tickets. End of the trip just be fair. |
Cocktail
Waitresses |
$2 a round for parties of 1 or 2; more for larger groups.
Drinks are generally free when you gamble which of course make you more
susceptible to spend more. Drinks at clubs will cost several dollars each, so if someone provides drinks for free at the tables. $5 toke for a couple of drinks is reasonable |
| 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. |

Slots - 5% on 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 |
$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. If you had bad service $0 |
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. |

Night Clubs |
Rules Change - Clubs go in and out of
business all the time. What was fun in one decade isn't even in business the
next. What one hotels decides can change overnight. SO, If you are staying
at some elegant hotel, check the web-site, look at the photos of the hotels
night club to see what people are wearing,
this will be your best clue or wait until you check in and ask.
As a rule...
Men:
Depending on the club - A nice pullover, or dress shirt with some type of
collar will always work - We would never encourage plain t-shirts, jerseys
and definitely no cut offs, they are ever allowed. Wearing a suit would be
over dressed unless your name is Will Smith. However, if a suit is worn be
prepared to throw plenty of $$$ around and play the part.
Women:
Women usually wear anything from short shorts, Levi's with a nice top or
cocktail dresses. |

Show Dress Code |
Production
Shows Dress Code - Reference |
|
|
Ask when you purchase Show Tickets about dress codes for
any particular show, some are different. |
|
|
Men:
Dress Shirt & Dress Slacks / Black or dark suit / Tuxedo. You
will not look out of place at in production show dressed nice. Many
come to Las Vegas for long term anniversaries, taking their bride
out on town to a production show and dressing nice for them is an
honor.Now I know what some guys are saying,
"you ain't
gettin me in know blasted suit" some anyway.
Production Las Vegas shows are
related to theater, if its a comedy show at a small club no one
cares what you wear. If though you show up at a production show to
be seated by a maitre d' in a
pair of cut-offs, tennis shoes and a t-shirt with your gut hanging
out of the bottom of the shirt take your chances at where you'll be
seated if not assigned. Most likely it will be assigned seating. So,
in either case hotel shows have rules most of the time. Maybe you
can tip the maitre d' $100 and he'll slip you in. Maybe the hotel
won't even care, they just want your $. Just double check.
Women:
Beautiful evening dress / outfit.

Las Vegas Vacation Rentals -
Las Vegas, Nevada Vacation Rentals - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Most people are thinking in terms of hotel rooms when coming to Las Vegas. Please, do yourself a favor and check out the fully furnished homes, apartments and condos many with pools & spas that people are renting out around the valley. Many homes have been repossessed, bought up by investors then furnished and rented out as vacation dwellings. It may be of interest to you or your company saving a boat-load of money on rooms! Also, many vacation rooms are located at the hotels.
