    Questions for the folks that have been here before:

    1) Should we get DR pesos or are USD$ used?
    2) Tipping at the bar, should we have pesos or USD$ for tipping at the bar and restaurants?
    3) any other advice for first time visitors to the DR?

      USD all the way.
      I tried tipping. They actually turn it down. Like hard core turn it down. Crazy.

      Drink lots of MamaJuana shots.

        Per google,

        "
        Mama Juana promises those who consume it all sorts of incredible benefits, including sexual potency, which has given the drink a nickname of “liquid Viagra”."

        Bigday trying to get lucky anyway he can...

          yeah because why would anyone in the service industry making a dollar an hour accept a tip

          I will expose any cheap fuk I do not see tipping at The Hard Rock - BigDay 1st on the list

              Philly I know you're being facetious with most posts but BigDay is right to an extent here. Often at all-inclusive resorts staff is told by their management NOT to accept tips. Completely varies from resort to resort.

              I've worked in service industry mgmt for years and I overtip everyone in life but in this case it's a tricky one. I'm sure I'll still end up tipping but it certainly wont be for every drink. More like take care of the staff at the damn swim up bar once a day. Gotta tip them just for having to deal with BigDay displacing the fukking pool water.

                    However, after the first date my charm and whit sealed the deal.

                      I've been to numerous of these all inclusive deals over the years for vacations, weddings and other crap. They genreally are not supposed/allowed to take tips. Occasionally some will bUT they are generally not supposed to.

                        you could be right Tad....I do remember tipping the last trip and don't recall anyone turning it down....

                        BD hit kind of a raw new as we were out Saturday night over at The SugarHouse Casino and sitting at the bar you can of course play slots and if you have a players card, drink for free....after getting our 1st round of freebies I tipped the bartender a 20 and of course every time our drinks were remotely empty, guy game by and refilled them...couple next to us of course didn't tip because the drinks were "free" and couldn't understand why we were getting good service and they had to call the bartender 3 or 4 times.....

                          this -- the consumption of mama juanas -- could cause extreme distraction during the poker trny, if the sexual benefits of the shots are true -- as I intend to play the trny just as i do a typical SBR trny......

                          you know, slamming my sack on the "left shift key" at the table if I'm in a hand..... (the "drink holder" of the person to my left will serve as the shift key)...

                          if i'm rock hard while left-shift-keying it, people are gonna be hitting the deck.......

                            I always thought he did it with the "coon skin panty and bra set", personally chewed by BD himself to ensure "utmost softeness" of the coon skins, to gaurantee optimum comfort and sensuality.....

                              I have been to the Hard Rock for the last 10 years .I have never seen anyone turn down a tip... Those servers make nothing and rely on tips.

                                    Not sure why the servers I was getting didn't take it.

                                      Were you able to tip on your drinks and room service??

                                      i didn't play table games or anything. Just sport book for me.

                                        Probably because when you got to the DR, you converted the USD to dominican pesos

                                        So, when Bigday was trying to act like a fkn ballar and act like he was tipping $10, that cheap fuk was really just tipping 20 cents.

                                        Wasn't worth their time to reach out their hands, rather keep their pride.

                                          Yeah. Not sure. lol. I only had USD.

                                          Even at dinners, I asked a couple servers. And they said no.

                                          Unreal. Well fuk me. I guess I was a cheap bastard.

                                          Tough times when you live off the land.

                                            We will video that shit Wednesday after you order a drink... If they take the tip, you are a cheap SOB... If they decline it, well, you have proof and can come back a crow.

                                              Brilliant.

                                              Might pay them $50 to decline like a motha fukker.

                                                        BIGDAY is sharp...not when it comes to betting, obviously...but this plan is solid. I may play craps for a bit, but the pits will rape you worse than the SBR Casino.

                                                            Lets just say I'm a horrible card player.

                                                            Heck, they call me "short stack" and "guppie" at the poker table all the time....

                                                              And I just simply find myself getting bored sitting down at a table longer than 15 minutes. Then I start doing stupid sh!t...

                                                              So, I park my fat ass in the sun and relax.
