I was at a casino for the first time this evening and noticed the waitresses offering drinks to people. There was a big bundle of cash on her tray, so I assumed the drinks were for sale. However, I also noticed that some people were taking drinks and not giving money in return. Whats the deal?

Normally drinks are free when waitresses walk around with a tray in the casinos but if you go up to the bar you will have to pay. Here's a tip, I'm too cheap to pay for drinks because I'm already broke in Vegas. I go to one of the slot machines and wait for the waitress to come by and flag her down then ask for a drink, in the mean time just pretend your playing the slots when the waitress comes by you got your free drink now move on to the next area or walk around the casino while sipping your drinks, you can repeat the process over again.

I was at Luxor at the slots and two friends of mines were not gambling and the waitress asked if they wanted drinks also. Depends on the waitress. But generally, drinks are free to those who are gamibling. But do tip them so they'll come back.

In response to Jean - I went to Vegas last Christmas (I go a couple of times a year) - I took $500.00 with me. I hit a $4000.00 jackpot on a dollar machine, a 200.00 pot on a quarter machine and eventually went home with a little over $5000.00. You don't always lose when gambling. Just gamble smart - don't use the mortage payment to play! I save my coins and dollar bills from change and usually can take 3-5 hundred with me.
(And yes, the drinks are free if you are gambling - but they are pretty weak drinks served in small glasses - don't expect to get drunk on them, unless you are a high stakes gambler)

In Indiana, all drinks are free except for cocktails. There is a law against giving away alcoholic beverages for free, so they have to charge something for those drinks. In Las Vegas, all the drinks are free, including alcoholic drinks. Those are the only areas I know about.

You don"t pay for your drinks and the money was tips.Now think about this for a minute: C-store and stay home with a 12 pack=fat wallet...or...free drinks at casino=drunk and broke;in other words gamble wise,don't drink!

Best bet ............seperate your drinking from your gambling . Don't drink while you're gambling ..............
If you choose to socialize in the casinos , you can go to one of the many bars or lounges within , and oft is the case , the drinks are reasonably priced , and strong if you are a generous tipper .

If you are at a table or game actively gambling, yes your drinks are free. It is however customary to tip the server, but not a requirement. However, the ability of you to tip determines the server's ability to bring you a new drink when you want one.

technically if you are gambling yes but each liquor drink cost a cocktail waitress like 25 cents, beer like 17 cents each, and a coke like 15 cents each. name brand liquor could cost more. if you don't tip the hostess then she will not come around as often. it is called stiffing the server! it is considered very rude not to tip at least 50 cents but usually a dollar is standard.
