Upcoming trip question

[LesJ]

My wife and I are planning a trip to Vegas in mid-July. One of my favorite things about Caesar's Indiana (about an hour from where I live) is the non-smoking area on the 3rd floor. Are there any spots you folks would recommend for a non-smoking blackjack player who would like to play against decent house rules?

Thanks for any and all advice,

Les

Hi Les, and welcome.

I'm sure others here may have specific information to offer, but most, if not all casinos in LV will make an individual table non-smoking if everyone at the table agrees, and post a sign stating so. This may be harder to do though on Friday and Saturday nights when things are busier.

Vegas in July can be brutally hot, I don't care if it's 'dry heat', 115 is still like an oven. Don't forget your sun screen.

Good luck and regards, Larz.

Finding decent house rules in Vegas seems to be getting harder for me. I'm a low stakes player(10-100) who prefers a double deck pitch game, so, I play at Fitzgeralds, downtown. I stayed @ the Rio last weekend and found only 8 BJ tables, all six deck shoes, half were minimum 50.00 the other minimum 100.00 At the Bellagio I found pitch games in the main casino for 500.00 minimum. As far as smoking, in the larger casinos, the ventalation is such that unless someone is sitting a blowing smoke in your face on purpose, you would not be bothered by it.

Thanks for the quick responses. The info on the Rio and the website reference were especially helpful. My wife and I are leaning towards staying at Rio, but it doesn't look like I will play too much blackjack there, judging by what Mike said.
It's kinda funny. . . married 14 years and it's going to be our first trip to Vegas (and only a 3 day excursion, at that). I'm really not sure how much gambling we are actually going to "have time" to fit in. Of course, I want to hit the tables, but there is so many other things to do there, ya know. Anytime I want an extended session, Caesar's Indaina is so close to me.
Still, nonetheless, I want to be able to play somewhere a couple of times and get some good action.
Thanks for the help!
