Tip percent in Las Vegas?

Question

Does anyone know what is the tip percentage in Las Vegas?

Answer 1

It is the same everywhere in the United States. 15%, but 20% is nicer. :)

Answer 2

Been there and lots of other large cities that have many service related venues such as restaurants, hotels and tourist type things and the rule of thumb is generally the same. 15% for good service, 17% for excellent service and 20% or more for exemplary service. Tipping is not mandatory unless you go to a place that has a gratuity included--however it is customary. The bottom line is that you tip what you can afford. If you are gambling, be sure to take care of the dealer if you do well at the table. Believe it or not, Las Vegas servers often get no tip at all.
Many people go there on a shoestring and tipping isn't something they are willing to do. If someone doesn't give good service, let management know--they are very particular about this.

Have a great time!

Try to plan what you want to see and do in advance, but don't overschedule.
Bring plenty of film because Las Vegas is filled with photo ops. Most "disposable" cameras will produce great pictures if you're outdoors.
Use sunscreen, wear a hat and drink plenty of water when you're outdoors, even if you're not at the pool.
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
Take a break or do something indoors (visit a shopping mall or go to a movie) during the hottest part of the day.
Keep an eye out for coupon books and discounts for theme parks, attractions, restaurants, etc.
Ask about discounts for seniors, students, Nevada residents, etc., at theme parks and attractions.

Bell Captains/Bellmen: $1 to $2 per bag

Bartenders: 15 to 20 percent

Answer 4

It's the same in Vegas as anywhere else, usually 10 to 15 percent.

Answer 5

Tip 10 to 15 per cent. All these people telling you to tip more are waiters and cab drivers. By the way cab drivers often get tipped by the estabkushment they take you to.

Answer 6

15 - 20 %

Answer 7

The same as it is everywhere else - standard 15%, 20% for outstanding service.

The only exception is cocktail servers and buffet waitstaff - they get $1-$2 per person per round.

Answer 8

Same as anywhere else. Depends on the service if its great 20% if its not 10% & complain to management you might get a free meal!!!

Answer 9

I am a waitress and everywhere in the country it should be 15-20%, some say never less than 5 bucks. Waitresses make about $2.63 an hour most places so your contribution is much appreciated and most necessary for survival.

Answer 10

If you leave less than 18% you will be hated and not wanted back. We expect no less if the service was good. 15% is what they tipped in the 80's. Those days are over. 20% means you really enjoyed your dining experience.
