I could remember a game where a celebrity entered and instantly, he got the best seat. That's a preferential treatment. Meanwhile, the regular players are in a queue after paying for membership.I understand the business angle, we all know that fame attracts a crowd, but fairness is also important.
 
Frankly speaking, I don't have anything against special treatment for celebrities. Someone becomes "celebrity" in a casino when they bring a lot of business. If someone is being in a lot of money, it is perfectly understandable why they should get special treatment.
 
It is no big deal as far as they don't act disrespectful towards me. I don't expect to be treated the same way like a celebrity in any poker settings. My focus is on enjoying the game, and once no one disrupts that, I am very much okay.
 
It doesn't feel good when someone gets preferential treatment but I understand why that happens and I have never objected or voiced a concern
