I am not surprised that Station Casinos had to eventually declare bankruptcy if this behind the scenes look at GVR is any indication of how they ran their casinos. Later in the episode, their "research" of high end bottle service at competing properties made them look like a bunch of drunk fools. (Someone who would dump thousands and lose way more than the cost of their "free" room and per person tournament costs.) It was surprising to see all the sniping and finger pointing and lack of hard work trying to generate customers for their tournament. I knew nothing about this GVR tournament and was exactly the type of player they would want. I was a regular gambler at Station properties back during that time and had previously played in a BJ tournament at Sunset Station. The tournament idea was revived in 2002 by the Las Vegas Hilton with its Million Dollar tournament. As a gambler for more than a quarter of a century who has been to Station Casinos properties countless times, I was curious to see how they ran GVR. Blackjack tournaments were out of favour from the late 1980s until the early 21st century, partly because casinos did not want to encourage the development of card counting skills. Granted, a reality show is going to play up the problems and confrontations because they (probably rightfully) assume that is what the viewer wants to see.
