No doubt about it, the casinos have clearly developed a real preference for the "well heeled" high rollers. Strip casinos have totally ridiculous table limits. Who do they think is going to keep dropping $15 for each hand of blackjack? And the room rates are freaking nuts! $300/night! Who's got the money for that? As an informed local, I still know the casinos that offer real value. Hint: it's not on the strip. The station casinos are probably the best for local deals on food. For any decent gambling action I need to go and sit in a smoke-filled dump on Fremont Street. But change is coming I think. $4 gas may just bring back the real Vegas deals.
