In the wisdom of the casino bean counters, the Crystal Palace now has this policy. here is the posted sign. If you are sitting at a gaming table and the pit boss thinks you are worthy, he/she will write you out a comp slip for a cocktail or other beverage, or water. Of course you have to call them over, and then they will have to ask you what you are drinking and fill out the slip and hand it to you. If you want another in a while, you must ask again. It really made me feel 3rd rate. You can get a free drink only if you are a platinum member and show you card at the bar. If it's at a table, the pit boss still has to write you a comp, or the waitress will have to take your card and return it when she comes around again. Hopefully enough people have complained, as I did. I complained to every single person I could. I went to the hosts and even wrote a hand written letter which I dropped off at the host office. I followed up with a very detailed email to the casino and hotel.

I prefer the Atlantis by far, which is where I usually stay and play. I usued to stay at the Crystal Palace during the tourneys, but I think that's now a thing of the past. It's like comparing the Wynn to the IP.
