Las Vegas

The Fremont Street Experience is one of my favorite things about Vegas - it's beautiful and costs nothing to experience. There are multiple good casinos and hotels located in the downtown area also, including places like Binion's, the California, El Cortez, Fitzgeralds, the Four Queens, the Fremont, the Gold Spike, the Golden Gate, the Golden Nugget, Lady Luck, and the Las Vegas Club. Many of these casinos offer single deck blackjack, which is an even better game than the blackjack game you can play on this page.

Keep in mind though that other variations affect your chances of winning at these games, and usually the single deck games are strictly low limit affairs with other disadvantages. If you find a single deck 21 game that pays out 6 to 5 on blackjack, you're losing so much of an advantage on the reduced blackjack payout that it's not even worth playing; you'd be better off playing a 6 or 8 deck game with the 3 to 2 payback.

The Western Hotel and Casino in downtown Vegas is well-known for offering some of the lowest limit blackjack games in Vegas at $3/hand. El Cortez is also known for offering single deck blackjack that still pays 3 to 2. Keep in mind though that the casino conditions can change at any time, and the black jack rules that you're facing at the downtown casinos and hotels in Vegas might vary significantly from what I've shared with you here.
