Stay away from Single Deck games at Stratosphere, LV A friend of mine just came back from Vegas, yes, he's a sucker or didn't know any better. The $5 game at Stratosphere he mentioned was 6 to 5 single deck game. He was pissed thinking the casino cheated:whip: because he lost his money so...

The aggravation came when I got burned like 4 times...I know their decisions could have gone either way but I guess it aggravated me because their bad plays didn't help me...:laugh: Mind this was my first time counting and playing BJ, I don't count my first time in Vegas since I didn't even...

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...

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!!
