Dancers Added to Payroll at Nevada Casinos

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Nevada gaming officials just announced that they are adding dancers to casinos in the area, but how effective will that be? Gaming has become stale in a lot of ways since casinos have lost millions of dollars in revenue due to the recession. The recession was hard on the market and now gamers everywhere are still not returning to their old buying patterns. Many believe that they should still be conservative with their discretionary funds as the market works its way out of the recession. They are trying to push gamblers to come in and start gambling again. This may prove to be a difficult task and whether or not dancers will have an effect on the issue has yet to be seen. It’s clear what the casinos are trying to do though. Consider this—a young male gambler comes in to a casino and wants to gamble at the blackjack tables. He is met by the slew of dancers set to entertain on the dance floor when he rushes to gamble. Rather than reading the table rules (which is a necessity in the world of gambling) he jumps right in. it blinds him to the fact that those same casinos who brought in dancers also changed the payout rates to 6-5, which is considerably lower than it has been in past years. He also may not be able to focus on his strategy and good gaming.

So will the dancers prove lucrative for the casinos in Nevada? Well, casino operators are setting themselves up for an additional cost of paying that roster of dancers. That in itself is a considerable cost, but with the money coming partially out of former gambling payout money, it may work. Whether to not it will bring in more customers, or make them gamble longer has yet to be seen. Only time will tell, but it seems like a pointless addition. Though casinos are hoping it works, are people really that interested in watching dancers? This is Las Vegas! They can go to see dancers at any location, and that may sway them from falling for the dancer trick.
