Both are sweatshops. If stratosphere doesn't like you as well as their little neighbor across the street in SLS, they will directly trespass you as they did to me. Well, in all fairness, Strato did give me a chance and backed me off months ago as well as a preferential shuffle treatment, but i returned many times after that which ultimately led to a trespass. Both were pretty nasty trespasses. Stratosphere security guard threatened to handcuff me on my next visit since I told him I'd be back soon and that he couldn't legally 86 me LOL. They even followed me to my car and up the elevator, but I told them I couldn't find my car and basically made them walk in circles until they gave up. That part of the strip is a joke. I've been trespassed 3 times in vegas and two of them were in that area, Strato and SLS. For SLS, it took forever for them to trespass me cause I got gaming involved and made them show me the statute and regulation that allowed them to not cash out my chips without ID LOL.
Regarding TI, they also backed me off and it was before I even played a hand, but that might've been due to a flyer that was out on me at the time though. The other times I played at TI, sweaty vibe and the pit hawked the table. I even backcounted their table in hi limit once directly in front of the hawking pit boss simply because im a savage LOL.
But yea TI, Stratosphere and even though you didn't ask about SLS, it's right next door, also have a good dd game cause of the deep pen, but they're also a sweatshop and I believe they share data with TI so watch out because that's where I think TI got their info from at the time of my backoff there. Regarding the hi limit area in TI, it has that sweaty vibe which I can't stand so I recommend not even playing there. To the OP, TI does have $25 in their hi limit but that's for the shoe game, not sure about the DD, since I dont touch pitch games in Vegas. TI also introduced a couple of months ago lots of 3:2 shoe games with LS on the main floor, but there's no mid shoe entry.
Go visit Red Rock, which is on the western part of vegas and a bit of a ride, but there's lots of DD tables with low minimums as well as Gold Coast which is right next to the Palms and Rio. Orleans is an option as well. If you want to stay on the strip, Cromwell has a low table minimum decent DD as well, not sure about the pen since again I dont play DD but from the hovering I do around the tables, I believe it was about 70-75% so definitely playable regardless of the rules. Since you'll be walking past Mirage, don't even think about it there, as that's also a sweat dump even though you'll find a $25 minimum there.
Regarding the rules. don't get hung up so much on the rules, especially for DD. You wont find many s17 DD's in vegas and if you do it will be hawked like hell so it isn't worth it. You don't need it anyway, just look for deep penetration. Pen is everything in blackjack. Only rules that really matter is making sure the game is 3:2 and I guess DAS as long as the cut is deep. Everything else is gravy.
