Default going to lv in sept

my br is small so i'm playing the $5.00 table with my big bet being $50.00.
question: we're staying at the Sahara Hotel so I don't want to play there for fear of being kicked out as a counter.

i've been told that the Stratosphere and Slots A Fun are good low roller places. true? any other good places you all know about? also been told downtownlv might begood for a low roller. any places on the strip also good?
i'll be playing a 6 deck shoe game spreading $5.00-$50.00.
thank you.

Default Slots, downtown and the wrong area for good games

Slots will offer you a decent 6 deck and DD game but not always that good for a counter because often pen is weak.
Downtown has two casinos with decent single deck and a few with decent double deck but most of their shoe games are not that good but can be had for $5
Sahara offers only inferior blackjack rules on all of their tables.
The north strip is overall inferior to the south strip for blackjack but you can get $5 games, especially at off hours.

$3 minimum at El Cortez.
Sahara has a decent new member signup bonus,be sure to grab it.Have everyone with you sign up for it,even if they don't play.Whatever you do,avoid the buffet.

play el cortez and if you are daring enough, the western. i would advise driving to the western as opposed to walking the 2 blocks from the el cortez. if you are squemish/not street smart - do not go to the western. other than that i would go to the longhorn, they have a great $2/$3 game with DOA3 and LL, though for counting purposes, it isn't the best place to play, but it is a fun game none the less. you can find some decent DD games at the station casinos for $5 i think, maybe it is $10... slots of fun is great if you can get a seat, that place is always packed. i've only played there once out of 3-4 visits.

There is nothing wrong with walking to the Western in the daytime. They are actually starting to clean up that end of the street. Just use common sense. Prankster there is a good 6 deck game at Circus Circus for your $5-$50 spread.

Avoid the game that the Vegas Club advertises as "The Worlds Most liberal". It is a ripoff.
