Forgive me if its a double post.

I'll be in Vegas for 80 hours starting 12-12.
Will be playing at the Imperial Palace,Vegas Club and El Cortez. Based on recommendations,I'll also try the Plaza and perhaps the 4 Queens. Anyplace else anyone cares to recommend? I'll be mostly playing $5-15. Thanks

For double-deck, forget the rest....just go to Plaza. El Cortez is a very lo-roller joint. I've played Single Deck there but I've heard that they sweat larger bets and are quick to back you off the tables. Also, It is a located in a rather questionable area of Fremont...you might want to think about restricting your play there to daylight hours <smile>

I've never been sweated at El Cortez. You just need to keep your bets fairly low and not play for hours at a time.

Its funny how folks warn about El Cortez but never say anything about The Western,which is far worse.

I luv Slots of Fun. They got the single funniest BJ dealer I've ever met working swing shift there. Forget his name but he looks just like Chuck Berry,circa 1975.
He's usually up front,behind the craps table.

Thanks for everyones help.

That's Charles and he'll deal you a hell of deep deck, and he can count better than most dealers.
Bang the LLadies at +10 up. At +11 the LLs bet is +7% ev and at +12 its +14% ev. zg
