Tipping while in Las Vegas

Here are the (promissed) few tips on tipping while at CES. Follow these handy guidelines and together we can start proving that not all technology idiots are tipping idiots.

Transport:
Taxi: 15% of the fare.
Limo: The party paying for the limo is responsible for the tip but if you are a guest and the driver is doing a good job, consider it like a taxi ride.

Hotel:
Maid: $5 a day. Leave the money in an envelope on the bed when you check out.
Bellman: $2-$5 depending on how many are in your party.

Food:
Restaurant: %15-%25 of the meal depending on the quality of food and service.
Bar: I tend to tip around 25% for beer and coctails. Maybe it's just me.

Casino:
Dealer: I tend to bet for the dealer instead of tipping outright. For instance, if I hit blackjack, the extra winnings go straing to the next hand as a bet for the dealer.
Waitress: When at the table getting free drinks, throw a buck or two to the wait staff bringing you those free drinks.

A good resource guide for tipping is here. If you have more suggestions, please throw them my way.
