Default vegas double deck

Never been to Vegas.
Say I ask a cabbie at the airport to pick a joint and take me there. What kind of rules/pen am I likely to encounter when I approach the DD tables?
I like $25 min, btw.

I would think the cabbie would run the bill up on a guy who trusts his judgement on blackjack games. For less money than what that cab ride will cost you, you can get the rules and approx pen on every blackjack game in the U.S. and Canada.
Go to bj21.com and order CBJN (current blackjack news)

Lots of S17 DD on the LV strip. A cabbie probably won't know which ones. Buy CBJN and tell cabbie where to drive you. Cabs in LV are shakedowns. Avoid if possible.

He'd probably just drive you to a strip club where he gets paid a bounty for each guy he drops off.

Do not trust the LV cab drivers. They will take the long way to everywhere. Most know nothing about the game besides. Do your homework including knowing the streets between the airport and your hotel. I used to tell the cab driver how to get me to my hotel etc. My cab fare was cut basically in half compared to my early visits.

Some cabbies don't like being told where to go; I've found that, at least at the Bellagio, there's a easy way to indicate you're not f[ool]ing around - when asked where I'm going, I answer, "Bellagio, side entrance if it's faster." I've also used, "Paris, any route except for Las Vegas Boulevard." It also cuts the annoying "first time to Vegas?" chatter.

You guys took me too literally....

Just wanted some generic table conditions... so to not sound like I was trying to ask for anyone's secret hot spot.

If you're willing to go off strip, try Station casinos.

Ok how 'bout this. Is there plenty of playable DD for someone playing quarter minimum?

I don't want casino names at this point, just whether I can go to Vegas and keep myself busy at only DD for 3 or 4 days.

I suspect the answer is yes but I wanted to see what kind of answers I'd get.
