I'm going to be staying at the Reno Hilton in the near future so I looked up the BJ rules at their casino. There is a statement that says:

"In all these versions of 21, the dealer makes no decisions on playing his hand. Dealers must hit 16's and "soft" 17's in Nevada. "

I dug up some old issues of BJ Forum and confirmed that, while most casinos in Reno hit soft 17, there were a few casinos in LV that did not. Granted, my subscription to BJ Forum ran out a few years ago (right around the time I got married, coincidentally (?)) so the laws might have changed.

Is it now true dealers in Nevada MUST hit soft 17?
