my br is small so i'm playing the $5.00 table with my big bet being $50.00.
question: we're staying at the Sahara Hotel so I don't want to play there for fear of being kicked out as a counter.

i've been told that the Stratosphere and Slots A Fun are good low roller places. true? any other good places you all know about? also been told downtownlv might begood for a low roller. any places on the strip also good?
i'll be playing a 6 deck shoe game spreading $5.00-$50.00.
thank you.

Slots, downtown and the wrong area for good games

Slots will offer you a decent 6 deck and DD game but not always that good for a counter because often pen is weak.
Downtown has two casinos with decent single deck and a few with decent double deck but most of their shoe games are not that good but can be had for $5
Sahara offers only inferior blackjack rules on all of their tables.
The north strip is overall inferior to the south strip for blackjack but you can get $5 games, especially at off hours.

$3 minimum at El Cortez.
Sahara has a decent new member signup bonus,be sure to grab it.Have everyone with you sign up for it,even if they don't play.Whatever you do,avoid the buffet.

It ain't how big it is, it's how you use it.

It ain't the meat, it's the motion, that makes this daddy want to rock.

On the other hand, the bigger, the better - I don't care what your girlfriend said.

The bigger the cushion, the better the pushin'.

I am talking about the size of your bankroll in case anyone somehow thought otherwise :)

play el cortez and if you are daring enough, the western. i would advise driving to the western as opposed to walking the 2 blocks from the el cortez. if you are squemish/not street smart - do not go to the western. other than that i would go to the longhorn, they have a great $2/$3 game with DOA3 and LL, though for counting purposes, it isn't the best place to play, but it is a fun game none the less. you can find some decent DD games at the station casinos for $5 i think, maybe it is $10... slots of fun is great if you can get a seat, that place is always packed. i've only played there once out of 3-4 visits.

It's not the size of the wand, but the skill of the magician.

There is nothing wrong with walking to the Western in the daytime. They are actually starting to clean up that end of the street. Just use common sense. Prankster there is a good 6 deck game at Circus Circus for your $5-$50 spread.

We went to Sahara about 2 years ago.
This is a great place for a beginner - especially with a low bankroll and small bets.
I think they always had $5 tables and sometimes even had $3 tables at off-peak hours.

We had a great time there and I actually liked it better that most of the huge casinos. In some of those places, you couldn't find any tables with less than a $15 min bet.

Another place we liked was Four Queens in Downtown.

I guess I was hoping you'd admit to just how small it is but I understand no man likes to disclose that lol.

Believe it or not, no matter what she says, sometimes bigger actually is better :)

Just don't want you to suffer from premature bankroll depletion :grin:
