I am sure this has been answered a lot before. Going out to Vegas in a few weeks and have a $1000 bankroll. Best place to play single or double deck on the strip and downtown. Thanks.
It's available on this website.
What is CBJN? Thanks.
This is a monthly publication that gives a brief description of the games available at each casino (i.e., when you can double down and stuff like that.)
Click on the "Our Catalog" at the top of the page to buy it - it's well worth the money.
Good luck!
CBJN, CBJN...the forum participants work harder to sell CBJN then the owners of the website : ) I guess there's nothing wrong with it.
But you sound like me. You probably just want a general idea or a starting point. If so, check out LV Club, GN, El Cortez, Western, for single. LV club and plaza for double. All downtown. I'm sure there are more details on CBJN but if you want the real good info, you're going to have to find it with some good old fashioned leg work. Oh, and more details can be found by using the 'search' function on all the various bj websites.
btw, don't play 6:5 SD on the strip, not even for "fun". There are a few good DD on the strip.

Stanford makes money from CBJN. It would be unfair to him for me give out that information for free. If it became unprofitable for CBJN to continue, I would lose a valuable service.
For the same reasons, I try not to give out information from books.
If the information is available for free on the internet, such as at www.skister.com/bj, www.bjmath.com, or www.bjstats.com, then I have no problem referring to those.
I agree that it's fair for Stanford to make money on his products (and for me to not violate his copyright). However, there is also a benefit to the consumer, which is that you get good, recent information.
For example, most people who read the board and go to the meadows with some regularity can say which casinos give a good game, but just knowing which casinos give a good game doesn't mean you'll find it. If I say that the St*rd*st has a good double deck game, that doesn't tell the reader that one game allows double after split while others doesn't. (At least that's the way it used to be, but haven't been there in a while - which raises the issue of timeliness; you know the CBJN is recent, while the advice of others may be out of date.)
Although it is certainly possible for someone to find the best games in a group of casinos through some legwork, CBJN tells you what they are and what to look for, which leaves more time for the reason we go there. To me, that represents value that I'm willing to pay for.
I'm all for Mr. Wong making money. CBJN definitely has value. Truth is, if Miss. Gambler is an advantage player, he would probably pay for it with his one trip, $1000 BR visit to Vegas.
Typically, when a forum participant chimes in with the typical 'where's the best blah blah game in blah blah', I don't say anything because, with a quick search, they can get basic info (I provided) on their own. I guess I was just irritated yesterday and I saw some of the forum participants responding to MS GAMBLER's gaming question with the normal chant. All of a sudden I had this mental picture of little sheep chanting 'CBJN, CBJN, CBJN' and I decided to give the MS Gambler little info and everyone else a piece of my mind:)
As an advantage player, you have a few choices when going to an unfamiliar region:
Go with no information (or preconceived ideas)about the games.
Do a little networking on-line or with friends (info usually at least 2 weeks old).
Order an on-line bj service (info usually at least a couple days old).
But again, nothing beats gaining the information for yourself. Its the only way to truly attain 'current' information.
