Would not make any difference to me as I only drink ice tea. As long as it is still comped I am fine.
Good point. I don't drink either but hadn't considered that they'd restrict soft drinks too. Silly as THAT sounds, I wouldn't put it past them...
Bottled water and other non-alcoholic beverages may ring up for less money when comped at the bar, but they still qualify as a free drink none the less and a sales ticket is still generated and placed in that empty glass in front of one's machine. If one isn't playing then one doesn't get anything for free. So if the casino implements a policy of requiring a ticket for a drink or not comping drinks at all, I would expect that to include water and non-alcoholic beverages as well.
Although not exactly related, sometime ago, one inside casino bar on FSE -- it might have been Binions -- told me that I would have to pay the same for tap water as bottled if I weren't playing when I asked for a glass of ice water. Maybe if was because of all the street people that come in but I still thought that it sucked. I had been walking around and just wanted to re-hydrate.
