[cpage727]

i went out to vegas this week and was looking to play at $5 tables. i stayed in the south part of the strip. according to the current blackjack news there would be a bunch of places offer $5 min but the only one i found was the trop. i'm going back out for a day next week, does anyone know any places with $5 tables? thanks

El Stratosphero, Circus Circus, Sahara??? They had them last time I was out there, and I can't imagine they've done away with them since last fall. But Downtown is the place to go for cheap gambling if that's what you're looking for.

$5 games on the south strip are rare but these days I have noticed several $5 tables at the MGM but only early AM. Once they see any kind of action in the pit those limits go up. Trop is probably the only casino that has $5 tables 24/7 except if you go out the Trop's back door and go to Hooters.

alls i saw at hooters were SD 6:5.....during the day nice looking dealers but at night the chicks were replaced with dudes so that wasn't too cool

i did walk in i think it was excaliber and saw the party pit haha no one was playing there and there were no dancers and the dealers were a little hefty haha

If the party pit is still alive at the Sahara, check it out. Verrrry nice scenery.

good luck

It really depends on what time of day and what time of week you're looking for games. Tropicana has the most reliable $5 game, but Excalibur, MGM Grand, Monte Carlo, Planet Hollywood, Flamingo, Imperial Palace, and Treasure Island all have $5 sometime. I usually play on weekday mornings so I frequently find them, but you might have to look off-Strip.

Watch out for 6:5 shoe games at HET properties. O'Sheas and Flamingo both have games which have the $5 sign displayed prominently and the "Blackjacks pay 6:5" sign hidden behind the ash trays.

Avoid the strip. Avoid downtown. Discover a different side of Vegas.

That means:
Have a car
Don't expect spectacular "scenery"
