It's probably equal to what he would be getting in Lonestar playing similar venues. Lonestar can probably play the bigger room on the casino circuit.
Those casino gigs are horrible. It's a corporate nightmare. There are a lot of comp tickets, half of the audience isn't really there for the band/artist. The show is plastic and sterile with no ambiance.
It's like -- pay me my money so I can run through a 75-minute set of my "hits", load of up the bus, and get out of this wasteland.

I agree with every word you wrote. I'd say the three singers are lucky if they make 5k a show, each.
