MGM Grand

3799 Las Vegas Blvd.

The game

Single-deck, 6-5 payoff,

dealer hits S17

The minimum

$10

The lowdown

A sucker game. The best advice is just don't sit down.

The game

Multi-deck, 3-2 payoff,

dealer stands on S17,

doubling after split OK,

re-splitting aces OK

The minimum

$10

The lowdown

A much better game, and at least the drinks are free.
