text: A three star average of this bar comes as no surprise to me since it left a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth - apparently I am not alone. I mean, at what point do you get to break the Vegas rules when it comes to playing at the bar and receiving comped drinks? I'm serious, if someone out there has an answer for me or an explanation/update of the exact rule, please let me know. \n\nI always thought that if you post up at a bar, throw some money in the machine and play a little bit, the cocktails should flow semi-freely. Apparently this thought is either foreign here, I was singled out or the bartender missed something during our transaction, which I will admit was brief. So by now I am sure you see where I am going with this but just in case my subtle dance around the point isn't resonating, I was charged $12 for a drink while playing the $1 poker machine at City Bar. \n\nThe part that burned was when I asked the bartender about it he said \"yeah, but you have to play max credits.\" At this point we both looked down at the machine, which I was up $5 on at the time and was clearly displaying my previous bet of \"max.\" He shrugged his shoulders with an almost \"who cares\" attitude and told me my total once again. I paid, I played some more and by the time the bartender came back with my change I had zeroed out. So, grand total for a drink at City Bar? $32! Bravo, City Bar, bravo.
