Holy cow I was just having this discussion with some regs and pros on the East Coast, and you couldn't be more right. Oddly enough, I was playing yesterday (won't name casino or person) and this dealer wouldn't shut up. Occasionally slowed down hands, half-attentive, etc. He looks at me and another reg after his "pal" left, and says, "you have to chat with certain people; it makes a huge difference in your hourly take." This dealer is like the mayor of the poker room.
We had mixed feelings about his statement, but people always gravitate toward their best interests. Did you happen to notice how Wynn management polices/detects/enforces proper behavior?
