As you may be aware, Fremont Street Experience made a pitiful attempt at covering downtown Las Vegas blackjack games. We caught them plagiarizing a years-old blackjack survey<\/a>. That made them report a bunch of games that did not exist when the article was published. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did the article report on non-existent games, it omitted existing ones that deserve recognition. This link<\/a> shows the article in the Wayback Machine as it was deleted by Fremont Street Experience after I notified them of it. Let\u2019s talk about all of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cortez has best downtown Las Vegas blackjack game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fremont Street Experience failed to mention the best downtown Las Vegas blackjack game in its so-called insider\u2019s guide without any attribution. It is not just the best blackjack game downtown. It is the best in the entire Las Vegas gaming market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a $10 single deck blackjack<\/a> game that pays 3:2. It is the last of its kind in Las Vegas. Players may double down on any two cards but not after splitting. There is also a $10 double deck blackjack<\/a> game and a six-deck one that permits double down before and after splitting. All El Cortez blackjack games hit soft 17. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downtown Grand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Downtown Grand offers the best six-deck blackjack game in downtown Las Vegas outside of a high limit room. This game starts at $5. It may be $10 when it is busy. Players can double down on any two cards and after splitting. Late surrender is available. Aces may be re-split into four hands. The dealer hits soft 17. These tables are so great that a $10 player loses an average of about a nickel a hand when using perfect strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downtown Grand also has a $25 double deck game. It hits soft 17. Double down before and after splitting are permitted. Like all other games noted in this article, these pay 3:2 on a blackjack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a fan of craps, you may find the last $5 game in downtown Las Vegas during slow hours. It offers 10 times odds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plaza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are two good 3:2 blackjack games at Plaza. Both hit soft 17. For $10, there is a six-deck game with double down before and after splitting. A $25 double deck game has the same rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get bored with blackjack, Plaza offers the only single zero roulette table in downtown Las Vegas. It usually has a $15 minimum bet. This game is typically $100 or more on the Las Vegas Strip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden Nugget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is a good guess that the three casinos with good blackjack discussed above were probably omitted from the report we are mocking because they do not pay into Fremont Street Experience. I am confused why the good games at Golden Nugget were not included. The FSE article from their unnamed insider could not bother to fact check whether you could play $5 3:2 blackjack there, but left off the existing good games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes $50 to get a 3:2 game there these days at Golden Nugget. These tables are in the high limit salon, where service is exceptional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The double deck game has double down before and after splitting. The shoe game adds surrender and re-split aces. Both games hit soft 17. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notable downtown Las Vegas high limit blackjack games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The double deck game described at Golden Nugget is also dealt at Golden Gate for $50. You may find it at Circa and The D for $100 or $200. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circa also has a $100 blackjack table that uses six decks and stands on all 17\u2019s. It is the only downtown Las Vegas blackjack game that stands on soft 17. I recall now that Fremont Street Experience noted that fact in their article, but they did not source it. I wonder where they read it<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These aren\u2019t all the good downtown Las Vegas blackjack<\/a> games. There are more there and throughout Las Vegas. We will publish a newsletter with every Las Vegas table game with minimum bets and rules by December 1. The cost is $15. Use the code vegas2021 to receive a $3 discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
