I will guarantee you that you can still find a Crap table or a Blackjack table where the rules are the same as they were in the 80's. Today's group is easily suckered into the allure of winning a huge sum all at once. I call it the Lottery Syndrome.
Unfortunately the major hotel chains have done just as much to ruin Vegas as anyone else, by charging the resort fees (also getting rather popular in Hawaii and other areas), parking fees, and just about everything else that was once either free or comped. This is one reason why I rarely deviate from my routine when I go to Vegas. There are certain hotels I stay at, certain restaurants I eat at, and certain casino's that I play at. The same holds true for all of my friends, as we normally all have the same goal for our trips to Vegas. These hotels and casino's know what we want, what we will accept, and what we will NOT accept. If they do not take care of us, screw them. We move on. You play the hotel. Do not allow the hotel to play you. There are way too many hotels in Vegas that want your business 350 days out of the year. Do not be afraid to wheel and deal with them.
