Our Las Vegas blackjack surveys break the Strip into three sections. The North Strip blackjack survey includes all casinos from Treasure Island up to Stratosphere. The North end of the Las Vegas Strip houses a modest amount of blackjack tables, with roughly five tables at each casino, some with better rules than others.

Central Las Vegas Strip
The Central Strip survey includes all blackjack casinos from Planet Hollywood and Cosmopolitan up to Harrah’s and Mirage. These casinos tend to offer higher limit tables with much better player rules. With Eleven casinos to choose from, they all offer a variety of good and bad blackjack tables.
South Las Vegas Strip
Our South Strip blackjack survey includes all casinos south of Harmon. This runs from Aria down to Mandalay Bay. These are some of the more popular casinos on the strip, offering blackjack players a lot more than just the gaming tables. The majority of blackjack games are 6 and 8 decks, with a few 2-deck high-roller tables available.
Downtown Las Vegas

Our downtown Las Vegas section lists all blackjack casinos on Fremont Street and anything within walking distance of it. This includes Downtown Grand, California, and Main Street Station. This is the “old” part of Las Vegas, but you can often find some great action at the blackjack tables when downtown.
Locals / Off Strip Blackjack
The local blackjack survey includes any casino in the Las Vegas market that is not considered to be on the Strip or downtown. This ranges from Boulder Highway to Red Rock, and to properties that are within walking distance of Las Vegas Blvd. If you plan on playing blackjack at these casinos, be prepared to stay at the hotel overnight.
Las Vegas Blackjack Games
Single Deck Blackjack
There are only two single deck blackjack games in Las Vegas that pay 3-2. El Cortez offers a $5 game that permits double down on any two cards. Silverton has a single deck game that only has double down on 10 and 11. Neither permits double down after splitting. All other Las Vegas single deck blackjack games pay 6-5.
Double Deck Blackjack
The best blackjack games in Las Vegas casinos tend to be double deck. The best is at M Resort. It has a $50 minimum bet and stands on all 17s. Players may double down on any two cards and after splitting. This game also permits re-split aces. There are several casinos on the Las Vegas Strip that offer this game without re-split aces.
Six-Deck Blackjack
The best six-deck blackjack games in Las Vegas stand on all 17s. These great tables also have double down before and after splitting, surrender, and re-split aces. Treasure Island offers these tables for $25. For $50, players will find it at M Resort MGM Grand. Higher-end MGM properties have the game for $100.
Video Blackjack in Las Vegas
Vegas video blackjack was once a great way to get favorable rules for lower limits. Those days are over in Las Vegas. Most video blackjack machines pay 6-5 and you won’t find much better odds around town. The exceptions are at The D and Venetian, where you can still find video blackjack games that pay 3-2.

Some house edge information in the blackjack survey was determined by using the Wizard of Odds Blackjack Calculator.
As 2020 came to an end we looked at two Bonus Spin blackjack side bets. While there’s a new version of this bet, Bonus Spin Xtreme, the original version is still in casinos.
While surveying Las Vegas casino games Vegas Advantage noticed the original game was available at four casinos in downtown Las Vegas. The game made the list of the Worst Las Vegas Blackjack Games in Las Vegas casinos this year.
The following casinos have Bonus Spin blackjack games in downtown Las Vegas:
- Binion’s
- Four Queens
- Fremont
- Golden Nugget
The house edge for all of the games is similar. However, there’s one difference that makes the Bonus Spin blackjack game not as bad in two of the casinos.

Theoretical Losses
Two of the four casinos offer a lower minimum bet for their Bonus Spin blackjack game. In theory, the lower wager makes those Bonus Spin blackjack games the better choice. This makes sense as the lower minimum bet has a lower theoretical loss per hand.
Unlike some other casinos around the country, the four Las Vegas casinos require bettors to make a Bonus Spin bet for every hand. The $1 forced side bet crushes the house edge in the game for all of the casinos. However, the theoretical loss is lower at the two casinos with the lower minimum wager.
$5 Minimum Bet + $1 Bonus Spin (house edge: 4.4%)
Binion’s
Four Queens
Binion’s

$10 Minimum Bet + $1 Bonus Spin (house edge: 3.9%)
Fremont
Golden Nugget

Golden Nugget
The house edge for all four games is similar with just one-half of a percent difference. Vegas Advantage explains how they come up with the house edge for the four games if you’re curious.
However, the games with the higher house edge at Binion’s and Four Queens is probably the better Bonus Spin blackjack game. Players are only required to wager a total of $6 at Binion’s and Four Queen’s. The other casinos require at least an $11 wager.
Since Binion’s and Four Queens allow a lower wager, those are the better option to play. If a player is going to risk $10 or more they might as well play the Bonus Spin blackjack game with the lower house edge at the Fremont or Golden Nugget.
Side bets can be a fun option for a recreational gambler looking to spice up their blackjack experience. If the player is a low roller, the option to play the version of Bonus Spin blackjack with the lower required wager would be the wiser choice.
Another Bad Blackjack Game In Downtown Las Vegas
There’s plenty of good blackjack games in downtown Las Vegas. The four Bonus Spin blackjack games above are the worst because they force players to make a side bet. This just increases the house edge.
Downtown Grand is home to another bad blackjack game in downtown Las Vegas. It’s the only casino in the area that offers a $1 blackjack game.
The $1 blackjack game at Downtown Grand pays only even money for a blackjack. The house edge in this game is just over 2.9%.
The good news is that Downtown Grand has $5 blackjack 3:3 blackjack games. I’ve enjoyed this game in between the early and late happy hours across the street at Pizza Rock. The dealers at Downtown Grand are always fun and the casino never gets too busy so there’s not as much noise as casinos at the Fremont Street Experience.
Note: Downtown Grand may have limited casino hours. Visit downtowngrand.com for current hours.
