It is time for the "Give them $5.00 to keep them alive" campaign. The "older" generation is stuck on the $1 and $2 dollar tip, and that does not cut it. IF tips would rise with the cost of everything else the $5.00 is reasonable, so let us all support those who support us and Give Them FIVE ($5.00) to keep them ALive!!! PS: NO I do not work for tips, but I do leave $5.00 minimum, each time, everytime.

Foolish writer, the question always from this company is not could you or did you win, it is the company protecting themselves, "Did you have fun" You had fun, not your kinda of fun, yet fun to have something to write about. Now if only a brave writer would write about how this company really changed gaming, as it is no longer about gambling, it is about gaming which is only pay for play, with winning have no part.

So now Nevada has probable cause, if the statutes are right the Nevada has sufficient evidence, the final question is...Does Nevada have the political will to move forward with the hearings on the suitability of the Columbis Sussex license? It will require every worker that has been "harmed" to file complaints with the US Dept of Labor, the State and local politicians to insure there is enough pressure for the process to move forward. Without the personal filed complaints from the employee's, the authorities can not proceed.

It does ultimately come down to the future of Las Vegas. Many business sytems call for executives to cut costs, to enhance the corporate bottom line and the exectuive's bonus. This pressures workers into multitasking everything and/or the threat of being replaced by someone willing to do more for less, or contracting out becomes the motivational factor.
It works, although it is a downward spiral for the customer as service, cleanliness and unrepaired/unreplaced infrastructure suffer under this system. The competition that does offer a clean environment, new modern facilities and excited motivated well paid employee's will be the industry leaders. Columbia Sussex's corporate greed just insures they will be the bottom feeder.

So, the plot thickens. Now the reports of financial irresponsibility by Columbia Sussex spread from Las Vegas to Laughlin, it is now past time for license revue. The inability of an employer to pay their employee's and issue such selfish self serving response to questions clearly shows the corporate structure of this company is NOT good for Nevada. It is time to pull the gaming license, or will they wait until Columbia Sussex can not pay off a jackpot?
