as to those wynn tips, seems obvious to me that if any individuals in a gaming pit should receive any reward, it should be the supervisors who are the *only* employees in that pit empowered to "help" the player. dealer "helping" is a felony. pit game supervisors, may still have some limited "power of the pen" for comp issuance. more common is that those "supervisors" can arbitrate, "correct" a dealer error. that'd include calling a hand "dead". or "pay the table". or giving any player the option to continue a hand after a dealer procedural error is discovered.

But whatever...trust me: you have 5yrs to try and see Garth; & there will be no empty seats...it is a win Wynn situation..Get over it whiners...

Pam wrote on October 31, 2009 04:15 PM: You have got to be kidding! Go Garth and Mr. Wynn for the courage to tackle these bottom feeders. Scalping should be illegal! If it weren't for these scumbags the true fans would be able to buy the tickets in the first place. Hurrah for Garth and Wynn!!!!! I hope the scalpers have to eat their tickets. The true fans knew the rules ahead of time.

Why is the protest over an extracurricular voluntary program so vehement? Are these all the parents of students who wanted to audition for a show but couldn't because of the objectionable material?

Why were 2 controversial titles chosen as the whole season? why isn't one of them more mainstream?

What criteria should high school theatre directors use to choose titles? Should there be a vote, an approved list, or should the teacher be allowed to choose any show within school guidelines, much like a community theatre director?

Where do we draw the line for what subject matter is appropriate?


Is West Side Story still too much, or is it an anti-gang message kids need to hear? And do we acknowledge the violence, sex and profanity rampant in rap music and use it to re-educate or do we simply ignore it because they shouldn't know about that yet?

I'm asking. Where does 'Barney' leave off and Eminem begin?

But only in Vegas does a billionaire gambling investor get to slam ticket scalpers with righteous indignation.

No fan of scalpers, but.... c'mon!

How conveeeenient.

Thanks!

Soon, with the new terrorist-stopping RFID chips installed in your palm, you'll just be able to wave your way in through the gate. What happens if you're sick and can't attend? Contact the Federal Ministry of Entertainment and have your ticket transferred to a government-certified substitute fan.

O, Brave New World...
