Before Donna Moore and Dunning Shaw became very popular at Katie Belles there was no cover charge. Then it became $15/person with all of the money going toward your drinks/food because there were a number of people who came to the show, sat and ordered nothing. Now I think $10 of $15 goes toward your bill. Not hard to understand why they did this.
As far as catering to the Snowbirds; I am very happy that the Snowbirds are here. (except for the heavy traffic) They pay amenity fees, garbage fees, etc year round and actually hold down those costs for year around residents like me.
