I plan on perfecting my game at some low stakes Blackjack tables and I am wondering where I can find $5/$10 hand games on the strip?
I don't want to go to the ends of the earth to find 1 table that does this but if someone can fire off a few locations i'll bookmark this page and check them out when/if i'm nearby.
Staying at Cosmopolitan.
Your best bet to find cheaper BJ, is to go to a "cheap" looking property. (Quad/Ballys/Harrah's/Excalibur/etc.) You are not likely to find good rules at any of these tables, but they should have low limits available. Also, most places have lower limits during the daytime hours when they are not as busy. Usually, most places bump up the minimums between 5-7PM.
Thanks for the advice.
I am less concerned about the poorer odds for hitting BJ but can see why that makes people selective. I just want to get a better understanding in a live environment so if i can get it at 5 or 10 a hand that would be great!
Try casino royale... Low table limits ($5) not a huge distance from Cosmo. Not the nicest environment and will have poorer odds.. You have been warned.. Lol
I know it's quite a hike from Cosmo, but Circus Circus has $5 blackjack that pays 3:2. I'd also look at Monte Carlo, MGM grand and Luxor for excellent rules at $10 a hand. No sense in sitting at a 6:5 table when you don't have to.
Bellagio always used to have one $5 table going--can anyone confirm? (tough to get on to tho)
Stop by the Westin Las Vegas. it is at the corner of E. Flamingo and Koval Lane. Sits behind the Flamingo.

I don't normally condone 6:5 blackjack, but both Luxor and NYNY have at least 1 $5 table 24/7. Also, Tropicana daytime during the week usually has at least 1 $5 table. If you do go to Luxor and/or Tropicana, ask about their WIN Cards at the player's club. These are a nice way to help extend your gambling budget a little bit.

Outside of that, as darren mentioned above, there is a plethora of $10 3:2 tables with decent rules all over the south strip properties (Luxor, Tropicana, MGM, NYNY, Monte Carlo, Excalibur). Just be sure to ask before sitting down what the blackjack payout is, as they sometimes have 6:5 tables as well.
Generally in the daytime you can find lower limits, if not consider hopping on the deuce bus and go to downtown las vegas for lower limits

48 helpful votes Hooters! They always have a $3 table and the majority of the remainder tables are $5 or $10 min. Plus you get nice eye candy there. :-)
Kbunde - last two visits to Bellagio, most recently September, that $5 table is now $10. CSM with good rules.
