Las Vegas - Which hotels have single deck blackjack these days?

Planning a Vegas trip for the first time in a couple of years, and prefer to stay at a hotel where I also can play blackjack. I only play where there are single-deck tables, which was true of Caesar's last time I was there. Can anyone suggest other hotels (on or off Strip but not downtown) with at least a few single-deck tables?
Thanks in advance.

Many of them do, I know MGM does, but it is a trick. They Pay 6:5 rather then 3:2 for a natural.

Many links about this from google, here's 1

You should be very careful. Most (if not all) strip Vegas properties that offer single-deck blackjack only pay 6-5 for player blackjack. This makes the house edge 1.44%, which is worse than multi-deck games. If you insist on playing 6-5 blackjack, make sure that it is at least a player's blackjack always wins tables, where the house edge is "only" 1.23%

The Rio actually has single deck blackjack with even-money blackjack. This is the worst blackjack spread in the entire world, as far as I know.

I believe there are some playable single-deck BJ games downtown.

it is a trick

Quite right. I type too slow. ;)

Don't ever play a single deck blackjack game where blackjack pays 6:5. Go downtown, and you'll find some decent single deck black jack games. I think Las Vegas club, and Binion's Horseshoe have decent SD games. But that was a couple of years ago...Binion's may not have an SD game anymore since Harrah's bought it. For more info on Blackjack, visit www.bj21.com. Blackjack is a beatable game if you learn to count cards!!!!!!!!!!! And counting isn't difficult, it just takes some practice. Bj21.com run by Stanford Wong is the site you want to visit to learn about counting. They also publish a monthly newsletter which contains info on the various black jack games around the country. The newsletter gives you info on the # of decks casinos use, the different BJ rules casinos use i.e. "late surrender, resplitting aces, etc., deck penetration".

The main thing about BJ is to manage your money properly and play the percentages.

Thanks for the caution on the 6-5 payout for blackjack. Last time I was at Caesar's (a little over two years ago) they had (some) single deck tables with normal rules including 3-2 for blackjack. Is that still the case?

Ballys and Paris both have single deck blackjack paying 6:5 on Blackjack.

Actually, when I was staying at Paris over NYE, all I saw there was single deck. I wanted a full show for 2:1 BJ and couldn't find any.

O'Shea's (my favorite little hole-in-the-wall casino next to Flamingo) has single deck BJ. Payout is 6:5, though. Also check out their $5 craps table which is basically "outside". Great for days where there is a nice cool breeze.

Excalibur has single deck. I don't know what the payout is for Black Jack.

Unfortunately, single-deck BJ with 6:5 payoffs have spead like wildfire on the strip. The only way to reverse this trend is if people refuse to play it. Sadly, though, people still flock to them anyway. :(

You're much better off sitting down at a table with a shoe that pays the normal 3:2. (Shoes don't lower your odds over a single-deck game anyway unless you are a prolific card counter -- and even then it's marginal b/c of how frequently they reshuffle in a single-deck.) Regular shoes are even endanged, however, as those "continuous shuffle" machines gain popularity with the casinos.

You might still see some 3:2 single-deck BJ at the strip properties on tables where the minimum bet is $25 or more. These are more likely to be found in the morning as well. Otherwise, you will need to go downtown or off-strip to one of the "locals" casinos.

O'Shea's is actually part of the Flamingo. Fun place.
