L.V. trip and Question

Just got back from L.V. Pretty crumby trip in general. I haven't tallied up my scribble-slips yet, but it was roughly a 100+ unit loss across about 15 hours of play (very small units, thankfully!). I had some runs that were just unbelievably awful. I'm still ahead for the year though, thanks to one stellar trip to one of the Midwest stores a couple months back.

This trip was a terrific learning experience though. I spent a lot of time just scouting and evaluating the games. Also, started practicing an act. Probably completely useless for my low red-chip play, but something I want in my arsenal. I'm sure it was effective from the feedback I was getting from the dealers. I had a great time with this.

Now...

Is there some resource for locating locals casinos, low minimum break in joints etc. that have good games that are not well advertised? It's true The Western isn't in my Fodors guide, but it is an easy find. Are there more places like this in the cracks of the city? I don't subscribe to a pay resource yet, do they list places like these or just the strip/off-strip/Downtown casinos? Do the people who discover these places typically keep them to themselves?

thanks

Try Wongs BJ Condition Reports. You can buy for about 10 bucks/area off of his website. They are pretty good for recent game info at a fair price.

wong out - dont worry about the 100 unit loss. Happens all the time; it even more fun when you dorp 100 units in 1 shoe.

Paid subs will give you the games after they are already known by the pro's, who generally keep them to themselves. They may tell you about a 60% pene game but forget to let you in on the 75% pene one they are working over. Take a read thru Barry Meadows Blackjack Autumn. He finds games in NV that make we want to buy a plane just to play single deck in the desert.

Thanks W.O. And R.M.

Not at all worried about the loss. I'm still doing well for the year. And I had an a great streak at the end of last year. I guess it really wasn't such a crumby trip.

Just another thought:

Maybe I could find a comprehensive list of all of the casinos in the County or something and use it to scout out the good ones. I'll be back in January for a slightly longer stay. I would be happy to put a day or so aside to do this.
What would really be valuable is a listing of licences. I'll check out the chamber of commerce.

thnks

Re: Another thought

I had a copy of this awhile back, lent it out, and haven't seen it since. I will probably re-buy it. I think it had some useable coupons, too.

However, I really only remember mainstream casinos listed. I have heard talk of Blackjack games in places like Nevada truckstops or very small casinos that I am sure are off the radar of the American Casino Guide.

Thanks for the input, though. And thanks you all for responses.
