What casinos are the best to play in Las Vegas? I am new to the game of blackjack and would greatly appreciate knowing this. Thank you.

It depends on what you mean by "best".

The best single deck games are downtown, and most if not all single deck games on the Strip pay 6:5.

The best double deck games may be on the Strip, but have higher minimums ($25+) than normal.

The best shoe games are on the Strip. Tropicana has S17 and low minimums.

Last time I was there they had one S17, and it was $25. The lower tables were all H17. FWIW.

Wow, that sucks. I was there a week and a half ago but I only played two hands and honestly didn't even note whether it was S17 or H17.

It's unfortunate; there doesn't seem to be much left that's <$25/S17 on the strip.

With the exception of the ton of MGM tables that converted to H17 from S17 a year or two ago, I don't think the number of <$25 S17 6 deckers on the strip has changed in the past 5 years.
