That's one thing I love about Vegas. Free valet just about everywhere. We meet visiting family at nice restaurants at casinos on the strip, and I valet and carry the kids in on my shoulders. If you live here, you see everything, but I like to think the valet are amused/confused by my acting like a whale while carrying my kids everywhere.
Also, just FYI, here in the US, valet tipping is typically $2-$5, depending on how hard it is to get the car. Real whales (i.e. not me!) and people with money to burn often tip more, but I've never received glares for tipping $2-$5. Some people don't tip at all, assuming the valets are earning a wage! Most I've ever tipped a valet was $20 to keep the motor running and leave it in the registration lane - I had an urgent errand to run prior to a (very) upcoming wedding, and didn't need to mess with parking/etc. We were BOTH happy with the outcome of that particular interchange.

Not all chemicals are bad. Without hydrogen or oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.
