My Guess...
The G. Nugget. It was good to see their absence last time out. This is the only Vegas place that repented as far as I know.

Re: Wow,great info!Thanks Mayor!
I was in TI last week. They had 10 6/5 single deck tables, more than when I was there last fall.

What are conditions at TI like these days?
They used to have an ok double deck game, right outside the high-limits area. Then they replaced them w/ CSM's. Last time I was there a couple of months ago, the double deckers had returned, but I had a feeling that they weren't going to stay around for long. Any chance they're still there?

Re: What are conditions at TI like these days?
They put a DD game on those tables on certain days, usually at high mins now. Most days those tables are CSM. A few years ago I played the DD tables a fair amount. I do not play BJ at TI any more.

Re: I won the bid
Hey you can bring them into the casino and sneak one onto the table when you are playing. That will keep the Wongers away.

this stuff is around town.
often casino stuff turns up at local flea markets, even at garage sales. a good source is at the occasional casino/gaming collectible shows. one guy (vendor) at jake's flea market said he went into the lv club and simply asked them if they had any used decks. some "suit" pointed at two pallets (!) of used cards and told him to get them gone (free). he had to go borrow a truck.
best show is an antique/bottle/advertising show. i've always found some cool, "internal" stuff. best item was a casino game supervision training manual...complete with tests. that from a "major" lv casino group. an interesting gaming device i saw (but didn't buy), was a wooden jig/paper cutter for producing "belly strippers". at a flea market, bought a few, 21 table "felts" (mali cloth) last month. they're technically improper to sell unless the vendor is licensed by nevada gaming. they make interesting table cloths, even cooler, fender covers if you gotta tinker with the ride. used layouts are common.
"booby buckets"/slot coin cups make okay, desktop, pencil/pen holders. better desktop organizers are the sportsbook, parlay card holders.
bigger stuff, like 21 tables (or larger games), gotta be negotiated. sometimes when a joint sells out/is acquired, the outgoing staff is offered first divs on tables. bought an excellent 21 table, originally from the santa fe, for a tad over $200. last month, a fellow at a local dealing school was selling 21 chairs (out of the barbary coast), for $20 each. smaller game accessories can be scored when/if a joint hires a company to liquidate the fixtures. made quite a few trips when the el rancho was closed. woulda' taken the large/main keno board but it wouldn't fit in my truck.
