N. Nevada Condition Question

Has anybody been up in the Reno/Tahoe area recently? Are there still a number of good SD games or should I just concentrate on DD? I'm brushing up for winter break and was wondering what are the predominant rules now (DAS?). Finally, what did you notice for the penetration levels for both of these games?

Thanks Rob

Actually, I took a look at this site first before I asked the question. A lot of the conditions seem to be either outdated or they just didn't change. What's your take? I heard Running Count is the resident N. Nevada expert.. RC, care to weigh in? :)

Reno vs. Tahoe

Thanks Mayor.

I did some more due diligence and it seems from what I've gathered, Tahoe's BJ games are horrific. Should I not play any of theirs?

Re: Reno vs. Tahoe

Tahoe sucks except for a decent 6D @ 75% pen at Ceasers. Though I do think Tahoe's well designed for skier type yuppie ploppies. Usually some hot lookin' babes!

Re: Reno vs. Tahoe

When I was in North Lake Tahoe in August the Crystal Bay Club had single deck, double on any two (H17 I believe). They did have those computerized machines that track play under the dealer chip tray, but my red chip action didn't bother them.

Reno is still mostly SD. Downtown is D10, except for Sands (D9) and Siena (DOA). Sparks is mostly DOA, with the Alamo adding LS. The outlying casinos, Boomtown, Atlantis and Peppermill are DOA. P'mill also has D10. In Carson City, the Nugget and Fandango are SD, DOA, the Station is D10. Pinion Plaza is DD D10 (altho I haven't been there for years). Further south to Minden, Carson Valley Inn is DOA, Topaz Lodge is DOA, LS. In South Lake Tahoe, Lakeside is D10, Ceasars has 2 or 3 SD D10, Harrah's has 1 or 2 SD D10 in limit pit, Harvey's has at least 1 SD D10, Horizon has 1 or 2 SD D10, some 6/5. North Shore - Hyatt doesn't have any SD (that I know of), Crystal Bay has SD D10 mindplay, Tahoe Biltmore has a few SD D10, Cal Neva doesn't have SD. Most of the places listed are very beatable, altho you may have to be dealer selective.

Thanks for the great post! Do you have a general rule of how much they let you spread for your bets before they start sweating? 1-4? 1-6?

Some updates

Harrah's Reno now has some 6/5 SD in the pit near the racebook. The SD in the main casino and high limit pit is still 3/2 D10 with good pen. Atlantis in now mostly SD D10. There are some SD DOA.

Re: Hey NorCalBJ....

They allow DD on any 3 cards. This is a very nice option, probably the most valuable player option you will find. In Reno dealers keep their own tips, and I have seen dealers do things they could be fired for for a red chip. This will only happen at a table where you are alone or where all of the players are "cool".
