Looks like a winner
There are no hard-and-fast rules for determining the best blackjack games in Las Vegas. A skilled card counter with a big bankroll will prefer one game; a recreational gambler who bets red chips while drinking as many free Becks as possible will prefer another. But these are some of the best games in the city:
Single-deckers: El Cortez, Horseshoe, Fiesta Rancho, Las Vegas Club
Two-deckers: Bellagio, Mirage, Stardust, Texas Station, Treasure Island
Six-deckers: Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, Mirage, Palms, Treasure Island
Honorable mention, or, requiem for a dream game: Until recently, the unassuming Barcelona casino at Craig Road and Nellis Boulevard was dealing the best blackjack game in the world -- a single-decker with favorable rules, including bonus payouts for certain hands. Just by using basic strategy, a player actually had a small advantage over the house.
This game was not, however, dealt by women in bikinis.
