Hi Folks. I have not been to Vegas since pandemic but am going in March. Typically I purchase the CBJN before a trip to get an overview of the BJ conditions at the casinos. A couple of the online sites that claim to be updated clearly have not been and don't reflect what I have heard anecdotally from people that have visited recently. Example - Most of the online sites show the Cromwell as still having 3:2 BJ tables and their website still touts it. However someone I know was there recently and said they had removed many tables and put slots in the floor space, and everything was 6:5.

So my question is, has anyone purchased the CBJN recently and if so does it seem to be up to date?

Thanks

You should think of CBJN as a rough screening guide. Some of the locations listed are not updated that often. You have to scout the casinos yourself or network for more detailed and updated information.

What I figured. Thanks. Living on the easy coast I can't scout myself.

The January 2022 issue of CBJN shows only four tables of 3:2 at Cromwell, all of which are in the high-limit area and open only on the weekends. Las Vegas casinos are generally updated every month.

Al's comment is generally true throughout Casinoland. Some venues become completely different animals on weekends than M-Th. CBJN reports on what their reporters found during their visit.

I personally have found accuracy issues with CBJN concerning the Midwest.

Some of the casino company names are wrong, and if you don't research company ownership of a casino before you start, you could subject yourself to trespassing charges or illegal confiscation of chips,

or be scared away from a good opportunity cuz a property is listed as a Caesars or MGM property on CBJN, when it's now owned by a smaller, more AP friendlier (more professional) company.
