The Flamingo

3555 Las Vegas Blvd.

The game

Multi-deck, 6-5 payoff, dealer hits S17

The minimum

$5

The lowdown

Forget it. This is just about the worst game in town. For every $10 wager, you lose nearly $2. Only a casino vacuum cleaner picks up more.

The game

Single-deck, 6-5 payoff, dealer hits S17, double after splitting OK

The minimum

$10

The lowdown

With $1.45 to lose on $10, you'd better a 1.45 house advantage. Keep on walkin'.

Hint: Along this stretch of beach, people take marine matters especially seriously.
