I see this type of reasoning all the time when people talk about places with higher rake. I've seen several people make comments like "I'm going to go to casinos with a $5 rake because the sharks tend to avoid it and I'll have the fish all to myself." The same type of reasoning might be a reason why Treasure Island is struggling, even though they are trying to pay players to be there, and they offer $2 an hour comps.
But maybe it is true that several more nits would show up to the Bellagio. If that's the case, I wonder if it would be better if the Bellagio stopped giving away any comps, raised the rake to $6 at least, and started to offer a BBJ.
