Frontier Casino

Heading for LV in a few weeks and I am staying at the New Frontier Hotel and Casino on the strip. First time at this property. Anybody out there know if they have decent games and pit critters? Thanks.

I had a big problem with security there. It got a little physical, on their part first. Ended up in a backroom, refused to give I.D., wouldn't let them get a polaroid of me, and when I stood my ground they called the police on ME! F-ing C-nts. Then the police came and took their side first, asked if I was drunk? had a weapon, then frisked me. The police held me about 15 minutes and then let me go.

The game then was DD S17 DAS . About 55-60% pen. Now it has since changed to H17.

I am not the only one who had problems there. Other GC members have also.

I have walked in and walked out more times than I have sat down to play there. Have always felt uneasy to the point that I don't think I could play my best. Plenty of other places nearby to play. My advice....Use them for the cheap room and play elswhere.

Heed the warnings of Bang-Bang and winineast above. I'm sure others will comment on their terrible experiences at this dump.

Definitely "... Use them for the cheap room and play elswhere."

If you exhibit any skill at blackjack, you stand a good chance of running into trouble. The game they offer is not worth the possible problems. As advised by LVBear, if they offer a good room rate, stay there and stiff them.

Good luck,

The blackjack is as good as The Sahara. The suites are as good as the rooms at the plaza. The buffet is great if you want a upgrade from the downtown kitchen.

The pool in summer is empty but big and deep. I think it is 13 feet deep.

The suites are two distinct rooms and they are clean. I stayed there a couple of times and since then I recieve letters for room rates for suites as low as $29 bucks. You can stuff six counters in there. The casino is blah and offers no advantages. Do the suites both times I stayed there it was quiet. Also the suites are seperate from the main resort and have the parking lots close by in the back.

I remember in the early to mid 90's the Frontier had a deeply dealt 1 deck game that was S17 an DAS. They also gave tokens for blackjacks that could be used to get free rooms. The place use to be a counter convention. Ah, the good old days.

when I started, Hard Rock was close to brain dead. You could spread anything, even in black at 2d, for long periods. Now they are SIN city. Harrahs also; several years ago they cut about a half deck off of six, w/surr, and very tolerant. Now they are almost the fastest casino on the strip to show you the door, and the games suck.

across the street adds single deck because the other longer carries it. Gee,things aren't that bad after all.

You're right about that. I remember spreading from $25 to 2 hands of $500 at Harrah's 6 decker all the way down to about 30 cards cut off. The dealers told me that the casino manager at the time felt the extra hands to average gamblers from dealing so deep would more than compensate for the wins counters would make. I guess management has changed it's mind.

about how long ago did they back room you? A certain somebody is suing these pricks for the same thing. I had hoped the stupid piece of shit bastards would have learned a lesson.

the $9.99 Seafood Buffet on Fri. and Sat. nights. Without that little bonus beauty there is no reason to enter the doors.

do not let them intimidate you (us). If other casinos decide this works, they will all be Frontiers.

Be prepared. Try to find a lawyer ahead of time and stick it to them. (they apparently consider sticking it to them a $25-100 spread)
If justified, contact the lawyer afterwards (or see if you can get one to go along). Can someone from Vegas consider going there w/ someone from the newspaper? How about 20/20 or one of those places. They made a show w/ Tommy Hyland getting polite back-off. This would be much more interesting.

I have done my part. I have no expectation of ever receiving money, but if it inconveniences them in anyway, it was worth the effort.

Remember about 1+ year ago when the dd was scrutinized and I could see the squirming behind the pit. But in Aug & Nov., I played couple of short sessions (about 5 shuffles each time) on dd w/ a decent spread green and did not detect any heat.

no das and crappy pen on dd.i pass.

I attempted to contact lawyers but they all wanted no part of the casinos. It wasn't until months later I got Nessarians number, but to much time had passed. I was new to the area, just started playing full-time.

Why are you suggesting that anyone pay for food in a casino?
