Tipping Decorum? - Las Vegas

[gocall01]

Maybe someone out there can clarify the correct tipping decorum for all things Las Vegas.
I have been to Vegas about 2 years ago and although I tipped people all over the place I'm not sure if I was doing it correctly.

The way I see it is roughly like this:
Dealers (generally Blackjack and Poker) -> depends on the stakes played, think I do ok here.
Cocktail Waitresses -> $1 per drink.
Bellman -> $1/$2 per bag depending on size/weight/amount of bags.
Housekeeping ->$2 each morning.
Does these numbers make sense?

Also, what about car valets & concierges?
Am I leaving anyone out, should I be tipping the "Have a Nice Day" person?

Thanks, advice appreciated.

Having worked in the US before, the figures above look fine.

However on a recent trip, I noticed that everyone seems to be looking for money for doing anything.

The rationale for tipping waiting staff at least 15% is due to the fact that their basic wage is so low. Bar staff get paid much more, but actually do very well in tips as well.

Personally, I don't tend to tip housekeeping staff, staff in Starbucks/Dunkin' Donuts etc.

I may tip the concierge if they do something for me, e.g. in Chicago our shuttle was running late and the guy got me a car at a good price.

Aside from waiting and bar staff, it is entirely at your discretion.

It is in theory discretionary to tip wait staff, but unless service is poor, expect to hear about it, e.g. the American staff I used to work with had no qualms about running out the door and confronting the customer if they received no tip/small tip. If you don't tip bar staff, don't expect good/fast service.

Cocktail Waitresses -> $1 per drink.

If it's a busy time of the year or special event (WSOP etc.) it can be worth going over the standard $1 tip to ensure you're taken care of.

Apart from that the figures seem about right.

Aside from waiting and bar staff, it is entirely at your discretion.

Fully agree.
Outside of the obvious tips, it is worth adjusting slightly depending on the service recieved. If someone is poor they deserved to be rewarded (or not!) as such and good performance can really be what makes or breaks a holiday so worth the extra few dollers.
