Where to play in Vegas,mid-week

[zengrifter]

I've been playing in AC for about two years,and two trips to Vegas.Most of that time,I'd bet a unit and if I won I'd up my bet to 1 1/2 units.Or bet 2 units and if I lost drop to 1 unit. Neither was terribly succesful,although I did have a few very good days.Once turned $200 into $600 but mostly turned $200 into zero or maybe $100.I've read books by Jerry Patterson,Angie Marshall and a few others. Am currently reading both Beat the Dealer and Blackjack bluebook.
I'm working on counting and can countdown two decks in about a minute and be able to tell the last two cards about 80% of the time.I enjoy playing and if I can mostly break even and maybe get a few comps out of an afternoon,thats great.
My biggest dislike is that in Ac,everyone tells you how to play,but most of them know less BS than I do.
Any and all advice is most appreciated.

Well, you are much further along than I had anticipated! zg

2D at Vegas Club keep your sessions short there - one 40 minute session per shift per day max. Plaza 2D, GNugget 2D, Western 2D (its wild), Fitz 2D, Plaza 2D.

Also, bus or cab east on Fremont to Boulder Sta 2D and bet LLadies @ +6TC - full $25 on LLs @ +7. While you are out there, Arizona Charlies 2D is close (don't bother with Sam's Town).

Try to make it to SlotsFun next to Circus on strip 2D LLs, and try Terribles on GRAVE Flamingo & Paradise Rd 2D LLs.

Other than that refer to my previous list. zg

Ps - At GSpike, play 2hands of min or higher as your small bet.

I heard the the GoldenSpike have removed their gaming tables recently. Anyone know if that's true?

It isnt the casino's fault, why would they care if you have a gambling problem? Should Mcdonald's ban fat people from eating there? No it comes down to personal choice and responsibility. Also who aer the casinos to say who has a gambling problem? I hate when people blame others or establishments for there personal problems of being weak and stupid.

I did a marathon play at Riveria a few years back - starting late on grave, playing all the way through day (because I was stuck). A couple hours into swing, having just downed a Malibu rocks, I told the pitcritter that I couldn't quit and that maybe I had a problem. I asked him to fetch me one of the 'problem brochures' at the cage. He said he wasn't allowed to hand them out to players, but that he knew something that would help me and made a hand gesture across the pit to the cocktail waitress. She showed up with a double. zg

thanks.I know about 98% of BS. I'm playing on the hit or stand site and getting 95-98 correct every time.I have some trouble with when to split ,but will keep at it.Are there any DD games where the cards are dealt face up?

I thought that you were a counter, and now I see that you don't have BS down. Never mind my where-to-play advice - doesn't matter where you play. (Another yahoo learning to count who doesn't have BS down!) zg

You need to know how to walk before you can run!

I have trouble keeping up, sometimes... but I can still remember BS as well as basic arithmatic tables. zg
