South Lake Tahoe - Harveys

[ordonezo]

I'm planning to visit SLT next year but I'm not familiar with the rules up there. I have only played in Vegas. I will stay at Harvey's but I won't be playing much there for obvious reasons. Can anyone tell me the rules in SLT and the best places to play? Thanks!!

Best place to play these days at SLT is Reno. Take US 50 east towards Carson City and head north on 395. It'll take you about an hour, but hey, you're coming in all the way from Atlanta, so no problemo!

BJ Bob, thanks for replying!! Everyone tells me the same but wife doesn't want to make the trip. If I don't find favorable rules I guess I won't be playing at all. I just want to know if the rules are decent in SLT and what are they. Don't want to show up unprepared or attract too much attention asking what they are.

I live on the N shore and went over to SLT last week. It is horrible over there.

Mont Bleu went to all 8 deck and no midshoe entry with poor pen, the dealer told me since the effing movie they did this. Harveys is the same with some SD games that are 6:5 Horizon looked like they had 1 decent SD game but the min was $25 so I did not play. I did watch a drunk play it and he was watched closely, so u better have great camo to get away with anything.


Go to Reno SLT is a complete waste of time.

There is not a whole lot.;
Biltmore
Crystal Bay Club
Cal Neva
Hyatt

The Biltmore;
has gone downhill with new ownership. I use to bring all visiting friends and clients here but no mas. They have 1 SD game that is Super Fun 21, 1 6D shoe with horrible pen and a Cshuffler.

Crystal Bay has a decent 6D game that has 72-75% pen and they have a SD game (do10/11) with poor pen. This place has really improved as far as the property, food, shows etc.

Cal Neva is the sweetest property on the lake but they cannot get unstuck from the 60's. They have a 6D game that has ~70% pen.

The Hyatt I am not sure about. They are all 6D games and the pen varied when I was there from 70-75%

LOL, I guess I won't be playing BJ at all in SLT, not with those kind of rules. And what's up with the 6:5 Fake BJ??? Reno here I come....

It seems I don't have much of a choice but to follow your advise, wife will have to bite the bullet. So what are the good places in Reno???

Yeah I was there.

They have: 1 SD decent pen (better in Reno) and 1 6d. $5 min. No DBL Deck.

The place is so small u are watched very close.

The SD is always crowded (I am told by locals) and it sure was when I was there (4-6 players all night) on an otherwise slow Sunday night. This is where some locals go to have drinks after work etc. So it could be the slowest time in S shore but this place will still have a full SD table.

Unless you happen to be there (in S shore) it is to far to go to for just the chance conditions will be good here for AP. It is hit or miss. If you are a strict BS player then it is great and a fun place to play.
