      TI has the best blackjack on the strip as mentioned. 3/2 on all tables and usually a couple double decks and a single deck game. Venetian usually has one double deck $25/50 min. TI high limit usually has $50 double deck with little action.

        I love Vegas but every trip I feel like they come up with a new way to screw the player.

          I'm sorry you are confused. Work it out.

          You don't get rich by blowing cash on stupid stuff. I'm also a tall guy and need the leg room in a train. I don't want to be seated with the train population and feel like I'm on a city bus.

          Ellis Island has a mean steak and eggs as I remember. I only dine in the finest of cheap restaurants in Vegas. The expensive hotel buffets are mostly all horse shit.

          Are you still confused?

            I played in one tourney in Vegas, I think I took 3rd and that was the last time I played there. I got hammered on Scotch. I think it was at rampart or Suncoast. Good times.

              Jake, I think you have Life kicked. Win or lose, you're way ahead of the game.

                I'm blessed no doubt. Some days it feels like I know all the answers. Other days, not so much but that's ok.

                  Rampart and Suncoast outstanding spots.

                    You should read John Rocker’s assessment of trains.

                      Do they wash the seats with Tide or Mr. Clean very often? Bleach those fukkin' seats.

Also there was a person who kept doubling four teens against a nine or 10 just the stupidest and weirdest shit it's like they want to give their money away
                          If they aren't morons, then they have to be a casino "cooler" sent around.

                            People say hotels were dirt cheap back in a day 80s even 90s it make sense if you gambling they will take your money anyway in a long run, why discourage potential visitors with high prices?

                              Would love to do that with a few people.

                              Went out there by myself last trip but it was going to be over $1000 for what I wanted to try, so decided to come back another time when I had someone else to enjoy it with.

                                For what you get at a top Vegas hotel I think the prices are still cheap compared to most other major cities. LA is noticeably more expensive for lesser quality rooms.

                                  i n ever BJ because your have others taking hits and the card they took would get you 19 - 20 or 21 and here in east they have 6 deck shoes and cut away 1/4 of it which is insane like even a full table how many cards can go out most players hit only once and in that 1/4 cut how many aces and 10 j q k are lost

                                  rather play roulette at least win 35-1 or slot machines playing small with $10 in each and just get 1 huge hit and go home

                                    Why go to Vegas when you have bush at home and can bet online? Fools I say all of you!

                                    Home is where the heart is at. Vegas is a dirty shit hole now.

                                      The racing and the different options they offer would be a blast. Its a short-term thrill, but I plan to do it next time there as well.

                                        Read this before you go.

                                        The crash that killed two men at the SpeedVegas racetrack south of Las Vegas was inevitable and could happen again, say industry experts who have reviewed the track and the operation.

                                                TI, El Cortez, Ellis Island

                                                TI is the only casino on the strip that offers 3/2 BJ at the lower levels as far as I know. They usually have a double deck game
                                                Orleans too.

                                                    In a way I'm kind of happy because it's keeping me off the tables and that's all I play saved quite a bit by not playing during the Super Bowl. I honestly dropped a thousand bucks playing Free Bet Blackjack in about 15 minutes and two hotels went online to bookmaker.com and made twice it on Multi hands Blackjack go figure. I was actually sitting at a slot machine when I was down at Grand and said I'm going to do this and in 15 minutes I made it all back in the ground on top while everyone is gambling their balls off I was gambling mine online sitting at a slot machine at New York New York can't make this shit up do you guys think I should write a book on the title I'm thinking the degenerate King

                                                      I used to go about half a dozen times just to play double deck Blackjack I like the thrill of counting and trying to get away with it and making my dollar last but just can't believe there's not one single table on the strip it's all those stupid penetrating machines. Sorry if any typos I'm texting on my shitty Galaxy speech to text

                                                          I traveled the world and drove cars into the ground in my 20's, 30's and early 40's. Now in my 50's and I don't want to drive or fly anywhere unless I have too.

                                                          That's just me though. I like my home and neighborhood and the beach. I'm content with just that these days until I finally move to Florida.

                                                                        Now, it's gouging. Most things are overpriced in Vegas. Try to find me some deals, try to find me +EV games.
