Sands on weekends
You really want to go to sands during the week, usually during the weekend they have only 25 min and all the dealers are crazy about calling over the pit boss with either wanting to see the burn (they will call every time) and cashing in people. i bought in for only 100 once and the guy stopped the game for almost a full 2 min b4 the boss came to say ok. However Sands is a different story on the weekdays, the dealers are newer and so are the pit bosses, who mostly focus on the other tables and giving the players their comps. Also the tables usually range from 10 - 25 however in the evening the 10 table turns to a 15 min. Yes the tables are usually packed but i see it as a good thing, yes u get more possible neg variance from other players, i.e guy splits 4's against a 2 with a true of +6 while i had bet 250 and doubled on my 11 and stayed at 18. guy gets a king on both fours and stays, dealer would have busted. however i digress. With a lot of peeps packing the tables it makes it really easy to back count and enter mid shoe. I've actually given money to players in front of me to play for me without anything said about it by the dealer or the pit crew, they just assume I'm the players friend. Either way i still think sands is an easy take during the week and a great place to learn this beautiful craft of ours.
