Haven't been there since NYE 00. Plan to arrive there 12-29. Want to play 20 - 25 hrs. Overnight stay is already arranged. Would appreciate some guidance so I can cut out some pounding the pavement time looking for the best BJ games. Don't like 8D. Max bet at $150. Bankroll is not too big now. Had to use some for an emergency.

Thanks for the anticipated assistance.

Forget it -- if you can MOVE during those days you will be lucky. Every table in every casino will be packed, prices will be sky-high. The only hours that are reasonable are 5AM - 9AM, after that, just avoid getting crushed by the crowds and you are doing well.

I think that the problem is the 150 top bet. Means that you are stuck playing 25-150 hand helds or 10,15 - 150 shoes. Both types of games are likely to be pretty crowded. One adv if you find a good table is the cover that the other players will provide. BTW - for high stakes players times like NYE, big fights, and crowded times in general are prime opportunities.

good luck

Last year, Downtown, you had to pay 40 bucks just to have access to Freemont Street. It was horrible. When the band was playing on the (First Street?) stage, It took me 20 minutes to push through the crowd between the Golden Gate and the Nugget. Tables were crowded and full of Drunken Jerks until the wee hours.
