Ellis island
I feel most at peace losing at the Palazzo or Wynn. Losing at the Cosmo tilts me more for some reason.
well, if you are just flat betting blackjack you won't win long term--you might catch a hot streak and get ahead for a time, but the house edge will eventually catch up to you
if you can count and are willing to range your bets from $25 to $150 you can find some beatable 2 deck games on the strip...the NYNY usually had a double deck game H17 DAS to about 60-65% that is a playable game if you are heads up or with only one other player...usually those stakes are mid-week during the 8am to 11am time (while guests are checking out, getting breakfast--the stakes are usually lowest then), also maybe the Trop, Mandalay Bay, or Monte Carlo--i don't think MGM, Wynn, Venetian, Ceasars or Bellagio offers stakes that low for a double deck game...get a copy of CurrentBlackjackNews at BJ21.com for $15 for blackjack rules,stakes---but remember the lowest stakes quoted by that are for mid-week during the breakfast hours...weekend nights the stakes go up for blackjack and that time a short bankroll is better off playing small stakes NLHE...if you know when to walk out of a game, you can try spreading $10 to $90 or $15 to $120 on a six deck game...MGM ususally has a decent cut game in the morinings...you can play that game with 3 others at the table
if $25 is your top bet then Vegas doesn't have much--about the only place i can think of is the El Cortez 2 deck game...again, play that in the morning spreading from $3 to $24 ($25 might get a checks play call)
maybe others here know more about current conditions...its been a couple of years since i played BJ in Vegas

If you play video poker, visit this site:

It's a great reference for finding the highest-pay video poker machines.
Be sure you're playing optimal strategy, though, or the expected win rates will be higher than what you'll actually experience!
