FYI : Vegas Blackjack Table Minimums...
-
Las Vegas Blackjack Minimum Bets By Casino...
One dollar minimums are nearly non-existent and two dollar minimums are also nearly gone.
Three dollar minimums can still be found in many places off the strip, but five dollar minimums are the norm at most Strip casinos and ten dollars at the newer resorts.
You will also find these Blackjack minimum bets on multi-deck shoe games only, for the most part. It will be nearly impossible to find them at single deck games and nearly impossible at double deck games.
Bear in mind that these minimums can frequently be found only during off hours when the casino business is slow. As the tables fill up at night and especially on the weekends, these low minimums disappear faster than breath mints at a singles bar.
At the luxury casinos on the strip, you will be hard pressed to find a $10 Blackjack table on weekends. $15 and even $25 minimums are becoming common at places like Caesars, the Venetian and the Bellagio. Needless to say, the Strip is not the place to cut your teeth on Blackjack.

Also, there are some excellent Blackjack opportunities in Laughlin, which is one of my personal favorites fwiw. -
only thing I would add is to avoid the Barbary. They'll 86 you for winning, whether you are counting or not. Been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt. :)

Sahara and Slots-of-fun are now 3$ minimum even on a lazy weekday morning.
Bellagio has 5$ tables during the weekdays around noon but I would stay away from them, maybe it's from seeing Ocean eleven, but that seems like a candidate for a place with enough AI to spot any count even if you spread 1:2 -

Best, Jim
Slots-of-fun in the mornings in March is nice because it's opne to the outside... But I'm not sure it's such a good idea in the summer. I'm going to be in Vegas in June, any chance their AC can take it ? The whole building looks like it'll get torn down.
Howdy, Stranger!
