Billionaire cheapskate, Steve Wynn, has announced that he is discontinuing the practice of comping drinks at the "B Bar", at his "Wynn Casino", in Las Vegas.
The "B Bar" is one of many Las Vegas bars that have video Poker machines built into the bar itself so you can play slots while you get soused.
While similar Las Vegas "locals" bars, which are usually sports bars, do not routinely comp drinks anymore than regular non-gambling bars, the video Poker bars in casinos usually do.
It makes sense because drinks are comped in the slot areas of the casinos, so why not comp the slot players no matter where they are playing in the casino?
Anyway, Steve Wynn is the guy who, among other things, made news when he reduced the value of a $149 million Picasso by 50% when he elbowed a hole into it.
He's also the guy who came up with the idea that casino dealers should share their tips with management.
Nice guy huh?
Here's the story about Steve Wynn's no free drinks policy.
Meanwhile it's business as usual for Wynn, his Wynn hotel just snagged another coveted award.
