We pay for everything consumed and it is not cheap. Not to argue the point but for what we paid for the "free" drinks at the auction we could have had the bar setup several times over. Of course that means that the members would have had to pay for the drinks (soft or not) themselves which they may not like. I don't know the details of the bar arrangement that the South Point requires - I just pay the bills *G* I am sure the BOD will be talking about a lot of these issues in the next few months.
