As with anyone else in Vegas, if they work for it, I give a tip. If I ask for a new release, and they have it on hand, I won't tip. If they search the rack to get me a few good chips, I'd throw them a buck or two. On a Hard Rock release, where i know they've been beleagured (sp?) with the same questions from a million of us, I'll throw them somewhere in the vicinity of 1 percent of my purchase, maybe less. But on a $400 chip purchase, I figure 3 or 4 bucks is the least I can do.

Tipping is a method of survival in Vegas. I over-tip the Valet every time I park just so they remember me the night of a sold out concert or title fight. Just one man's opinion.
