AC, huh?
From 2012 through 2015 I spent close to a month out of every year at the Borgata's, in their $1-2 games. Believe me, guys were 'disappearing' all the time.
Pretty much all the regs had Black Label cards, and pretty much all of them would leave their chips on the table for up to one hour and fifteen minutes to take advantage of the 10 comp dollars for two dining/drinking perks at the Amphora lounge or the buffet.
In addition to that, some of the older regs would get seated, play an orbit or so, and then leave the table to go chat with their friends at other tables. At the peak hours, it could take more than 30 minutes to get in a game, and nobody wanted to get back on the list if they could avoid it.
My experience of Bellagio is not that much different. People are leaving all the time, to grab a snack, shoot the breeze, or w/e.
I'm not saying it's optimal, but going off on Tim Trooper for doing what a ton of other players do is just plain and simply unwarranted.
