I also always sat in seat 1,2, or 3. 1-10 bet spread

They won't tell you your comps until checkout time.

comp formula is 25% of expected loss/ 60 hands per hr x 2% expt loss x avg bet
thanks & comment if you take issue

Thanx.

Did they actually TELL you this:

" ... comp formula is 25% of expected loss/ 60 hands per hr x 2% expt loss x avg bet."

They give you $400 'off' your hotel bill. What was the total you paid, with taxes and fees ?

Also, I presume that there were no food comps.

What the heck is an "energy surcharge." Is this just a way to charge 124 and call it 100 or is it based on how much energy you use?

Electric Power is not generated within The Bahamas.
The Atlantis purchases it (as does the entire country)and
then they pass along a very profitable (per diem) flat fee .
I always suggest to visitors that they bring their own lightbulbs.
Reading in your room, after dark, is truly not feasible.
I kid you not.
Paying for "maid service" is not optional either.
Food is mediocre at best and absurdly overpriced.
Service, in general, is thoroughly abysmal.
Gratuities are automatically included.

BJ is mediocre and dealt by dealers who seenm to be in a trance.
I estimate that full tables get well under 50 hands per hour.
The games are mediocre and are heavily surveilled.
I was backed off betting light to chunky green.
Generally, guests are not rated for comps under the $200 average bet per hand.

Thanks for the info Flash. That sounds absolutely horrible.

Directly across from the entrance to Atlantis is a smaller complex called the Comfort Suites. A large one bedroom with a kitchenette for a week costs what Atlantis charges for two nites. Guests at Comfort Suites get full guest privlieges at Atlantis.

Dude you're an idiot. Of course The Bahamas generate their own electricity. Why the hell would you say they don't? The BEG (Bahamas Electric Corp.) might disagree with your statement as well. Sure the hotels have to buy the electricity, but so does everybody else. As a matter of fact genius, unless you power your own home privately with gas powered generators or some alternative method, every dwelling in this country pays for their electric too. Do you get an electric bill at your home? Does this mean the U.S. doesn't generate its own electricity?

I am an idiot, huh ?
I imagine that your intellect is pretty average.
But more importantly, you do not have the maturity to consider that you are misinformed.

Just because there are power companies that PROVIDE electricity, does not mean that they necessarily produce 100% of what they provide.

Even in the U S A Power Companies sometimes have to buy power from other states. California utilities are notorious for this during heat waves in the summer months. Several years ago, there was a great hue and cry from Californians re: their being overcharged for the imported electricity.

In my state, CANADIAN electricity is purchased, occasionally, as needed, from our northern neighbor.

Questionable

I often find myself questioning the validity of any statement made by someone addressing me as "Dude" a little more closely than I would otherwise for some reason...

Too bad, it seems your closed minded views may be a leading cause of ignorance.

Alright genius, I get what your limited mental capacity is trying to convey, but it has no bearing on your false claims earlier. You said "electric power is not generated in The Bahamas". That is 100% incorrect. Yes they do generate electricity. As a matter of fact it is costly due to the fact they need to import 100% of their oil supply to do it. It has also lead to an issue with polluting that they are currently trying to address with alternate energy plans. I don't care at all what may need to be borrowed in times of energy crisis or how in "your" state, (which I could only believe to be the one of delusion), electricity is purchased from the Canucks. That lame point does not in anyway mean that they are not producing their own electricity. If your non researched false claims are any indication of your intellect, I presume you have been weighed and found wanting.

Listen up Einstein,

The fine points of this issue are thoroughly irrelevant,
except to a lame lurker like yourself who continually
embarrasses himself by attempting to insult someone
in a flame war that you started over absolutely nothing.

Nothing at all.

Whatever the precise details, at the Atlantis Resort

you are charged fees for electricity and maid service.

Get a life.

With all due respect to both of you do not make the mistake of underestimating or questioning the validity of the poster "Maz".

I will personally vouch for him and can only say his credentials and extraordinary back ground are above reproach.

All on this site could gain much by reading every post he has made. He is the "Real Deal".

Last year, many Las Vegas resorts instituted Energy Surcharges. As we all know(hopefully), Nevada produces quite a bit of energy via Hoover Dam.
Many resorts in Vegas and AC have started charging Resort Fees to cover the pools and gyms.
Atlantic City has been charging $7 to $15 a night for their comped rooms for years. I've been told everyone pays these, even the highest tier players.

I am still comp'd my suites at H E T stores in A.C. and I am comp'd the room taxes and assorted fees as well.

I am not a whale. A crustacean maybe.

I know some RFB players in AC who are comped the taxes at HET.

Interestingly, Trump and Borgata taxes amount to about $7. HET taxes are $13.
