There’s a huge parking garage just across the street. The restaurants validate.
]]>Here’s the problem: I’ve seen several $20 tables completely empty, a few $10 tables half-or-less full and the one $5 table completely over-flowing. And yet, they have dealers standing by the $20 tables are doing nothing. IDK for sure, but I presume the dealers are getting paid the same no matter what table they’re at. So, loss-leader doesn’t make much since here. While it’s possible casinos are losing on $5 tables, I doubt it, but, in any case they are also losing on $20 because no one is playing and they still are paying the dealer. I don’t know why it is so hard for the pit-boss to lower the minimum on a $20 table that no one is playing at, when the $5 table is over-flowing. That way the dealer is at least not doing nothing and the people standing around waiting for an opening at the $5 can play. Once the lower tier tables are all full and if people start to play at the $20, then they can do the reverse and require all new entries to a table to pay the new minimum. I don’t think this is rocket science, the only thing I can think of is some sort of law that prohibits this kind of thing.

Why would a retailer advertise and sell a loss-leader, and then limit the number of items one can purchase at that price? I suspect that a similar concept is at play in spreading table games. A $5 or $10 table could actually be losing money for the casino the same way a loss-leader loses money for the retailer, but they both hope to make it up in other expenditures.
If you have enough years wandering casino floors, you might recall nickel slots and dime slots. They’ve gone the way of the dodo replaced with “penny” slots that have minimum bets of forty or fifty cents. Weren’t the nickel slots making money? Not any more, not when factoring all the costs of keeping them in action, not least of which is the opportunity cost of the floor space they take up.
]]>And seriously… less than a one-block walk to Fremont Street is NOT considered too far from the action. I don’t mind their casino, but do find more winning at other downtown establishments.
Cheers!

YES! Sums up most of my search for low cost tables, at every casino!
]]>The process of manufacturing the LEDs has started, yes. The installation will begin in May and the target is to complete the overhaul by NYE. Does that help?
