6/5 blackjack has been a fairly well documented trend over the past 5 years.

Basically, people are uninformed, and don't care. The other "attraction" is that many properties offer single deck 6/5 (still an awful game); but people are "attracted" to the single deck aspect.

The good news, is that the 3/2 games are there (usually right next to the 6/5 tables), so you can just avoid them. I gave up trying to explain it to people years ago (@ the tables). Seems people get insulted if you try to tell them they could be playing the same game for better odds one table over.

With regard to the Hilton, I think it's not really a worthwhile option, considering that the other strip properties are offering all types of promos. Now, it varies form week to week form property to property; but Wynn/Encore for under $110, Mirage for $35 to $55 etc. etc. are much better options that the Hilton, IMO. Though, I do understand the reasoning for staying at the Hilton if you need the adjacent convention center. Other wise, I sort of think it's a dog. If I'm going to be off-strip, I at least want to be at a resort with a cool vibe (M Resort, Palms Place etc.).

Now, me... I hate blackjack; and barring my screen name, I spend most of my time in Vegas playing dice. Unfortunately, the table limits for my type of baccarat (big baccarat) at the resorts that I have recently been frequenting (Palazzo/Encore) have crazy table minimums ($300 to $500); so I save my baccarat action for Atlantic City. (well, except for the one lonely $100 big baccarat table at RIO, which is still a fun place to play a "bit" --- if you can get over the overall depressed mood of that once awesome property)
