    Vegas BJ sharks...

    Are there ANY tables that pay 2-1 in Vegas? I assume not, so lets just say that any game mentioned must pay 3-2.

    Do any games offer early surrender? I again assume not, but surrendering must at least be allowed after the dealer peeks.

    Doubling after splitting should be allowed. Same with just doubling any cards (not just 9, 10, 11)

    Dealer stays on soft 17.

    No continuous shuffling bullshit. I need breaks in the action to restart my count.

    Now, are there any games with some or all of the rules I mentioned above in a single or dual-deck shoe?

    How much should I be betting to get rated? I want comps.

    If there are 2-1 they will overcompensate on other stuff. There are a good number of tables with good rules -- stand 17, surrender, double and split any, re-split aces, etc. Generally they are 6-shoe shuffles with maybe 3/4 penetration. House edge is .21%., I believe.

    El Cortez has the best rules, and a single deck shoe with no shuffling, but I hear they watch the tables like a hawk there

    Will check out El Cortez... Any other places?

    Also, are $25 hands enough to get rated if I play all day and night?

    Finally, call me a noob but the last time I was in Vegas was a long time ago. Is downtown considered 'old vegas' while 'new vegas' begins around the Stratosphere and goes south?

    What the fukk is in downtown and why is the bash there? I went like 8 years ago and never went to 'old vegas' once so it must be really fukking old. What is there to do there?

    The El Cortez table I mentioned is a $100 minimum

    I consider New Vegas at the Wynn and south... since I consider Riviera, Sahara, and Circus Circus to be old vegas.

    I've profited 10k+ from Proline... but it's becoming harder.

    I also ran my Pinny account up to 11k but it's now at 1k. SIA account is also at 1k. I'm going to leave that money in there and bring 2k on hand. So I'll have basically 4k.

    Why you gotta chirp my roll tough guy? How much you bringing to the bash?

    You can find decent rules on the strip. Stay away from most Harrah's properties and party pits and decent games can be found for shoe games.

    You won't find them in single deck.

    A couple strip casinos have good double deck rules.
