re: Is harrahs New Orleans the worst casino ever?

Service with a 300% markup, especially alcohol. They make plenty of money on food and drinks too.

So I could sit at penny slots, costing me probably $5-10 to play even if I don't win and get a free drink whenever the cocktail waitress comes around. Plus they could end up losing if I hit on the slots. They would rather validate my parking if I do that than if I spend 10x as much money at the bar or restaurant.

Its not like I'm trying to get free parking without spending money on something at Harrah's. They used to validate without a problem if I told them I hadnt been gambling but ate at the buffet and went for some drinks at the bar....then all of a sudden they became parking validation nazis with no sense of reasoning. Since I don't really gamble, I just go eat and drink at places that don't make it such a chore to park so I can spend money in their establishment
