    Going to vegas for both DD game

    I will make a 5 day trip to vegas and give blackjack a shot instead of poker this time around.Of course i prefer to play some low heat DD games with a $25-$200 or $25-$150 spread off the strip.Are these games still around and reachable if i can only take public transportation?I have easy access to all of my local stores via a public transit system. I cant play DD on the strip because i got banned from MGM casinos + treasure island two years ago. BTW, i dont drive cars for some reason.

    Plenty of good DD in Vegas, just very sweaty. Driving a rental would be preferable because you’ll want to keep sessions short and Ubering will start to become a pain in the ass.

    I used the bus system to get to Palace Station casino when I was there and took the free shuttle back to the strip. It looks like the bus system goes out to Red Rock casino and others.

    You got 86'd or just backed off? If it was just a back off, you could probably go back after 2 years. I was told by T.I in February I couldn't play BJ anymore. I think by now I could comfortably go back.

    I think it was a back off and I was told I could only flat bet when I played their $100 DD in bellagio. I was also told by T.I " no more blackjack".Actually, I was only a professional poker player and knew nothing about blackjack AP two years ago.

    What a perfect analogy. Two overly paranoid casinos messing with another dumb stupid poker player playing outside his realm. No pun intended, wait that would be wrong.

    I don't think you know what a pun is.

    I remember my play was driven by intuition and DD basic strategy. Occasionally,i did bet more or spread two hands after seeing a bunch of small cards coming.

    If you were told "no blackjack". That's a back off. 86 means you are trespassed. I've only been trespassed thrice in my career but backed off countless times.

    If so, I might try some casinos on the strip especially Wynn and Venetian which both let me play DD h17 games back in 2017. Just be very careful with my spread and the length of my session.It's still very painful to take bus to get to those off strip local stores.
