How to Get Through the Night by Being a Good Tipper

Ok, so recently I was in Las Vegas visiting my daughter...she happens to be a concierge at Paris. She works her tail off for her clients finding anything they need and want with a happy face and an incredible attitude. I understand this is her JOB and she loves it, but anyone in the Las Vegas Service industry will tell you that throwing a little extra cash around for their help can go a long way in the end.

So use this 'Las Vegas' Tipping Guide put together by one 'Jack Colton' to learn how to get extra perks...and avoid looking like a "cheap bastard"!

Your Skydive Instructor.
If you have the chance to make it out to Boulder City, and aren’t afraid of potential death, you should definitely pay the $160 dollars for the thrill of a lifetime. If you are skydiving for the first time, you will more than likely be going “tandem” (attached to your instructor). It is customary to tip your Sky Dive instructor about 20% of your total body weight since they actually have to work harder the heavier you are.

Your Maid.
Most people forget to tip the cleaning lady. After all...you never actually see her right? If you are feeling generous, leave your maid some cash on the dresser when you are ready to checkout. Usually $5 per night that you had the room is fair. If you partied like a rockstar, threw chairs, left used condoms in the bed, and puked all of the room; you might go ahead and be "just a bit" more generous.


Your Masseuse/Hair Stylist.
We have a lot of pampering available in Las Vegas, and you would be a FOOL not to take advantage of some of the most relaxing services in the world while you are on vacation. Regardless of whether you are getting a massage, a pedicure, your make up done, or your hair styled; throw your caretaker a solid 20% when they are finished making you feel like $1,000,000.

All this help for you stemmed from my daughter working and living in the service industry. I hope this helps you and if you have any questions on tipping your service providers in the wedding or event industry, please ask, I would love to blog about that as well...Hmmmm, perhaps my next round!

Happy tipping.
