Going to Vegas

[Dartgod]

Another bit of advice. If you are a blackjack player, beware of 6:5 blackjack. A natural blackjack should pay 3:2, but most strip casinos have migrated to this 6:5 bullshit. The only reason it's sticking around is because the morons that don't understand the difference play it.

You may have to look around, and the limits are generally higher ($10 or more), but you can find 3:2 tables.

Also, as others have mentioned, get a players card at every casino you visit and use it when gambling. My wife and I are very low rollers and we get free room offers in Vegas (mostly from Harrah's casinos). Most of the casinos are now owned by either Harrah's or MGM, so you only need one for all their properties. Here's a rundown for reference.

MGM owns:
MGM Grand
Mandalay Bay
Luxor
Excalibur
New York New York
Monte Carlo
City Center
Bellagio
Mirage
TI
Circus Circus

Harrah's owns:
Harrah's
Flamingo
Imperial Palace
O'Sheas
Bally's
Bill's Gambling Hall
Paris
Rio
Caesar's Palace
They also recently acquired Planet hollywood, but probably haven't converted to the Harrah's Rewards program.
