So I came back recently from Vegas and I was subjected to something I didn't experience before. I stayed at the Cosmo and I have a line of credit there. I used my line of credit and during one session during day 2 of 4 days of my stay, I won about $20k playing baccarat. I paid my marker at the table and when I took my $20k winnings to the cage, they told me that if I cashed out my more than 10% of my credit line in winnings, they will put a 4 day hold on my line of credit. WTF? Why?... For those who have a credit line and play table games ..read more

Worst gambling news in a long time, folks. The last decent (and iconic) single deck blackjack game in Las Vegas is no more. Walked in today and found all new fancy tables, but every one of them is double deck. Old time pit boss confirmed that single deck is gone forever. And to make matters worse for those “observant” players, they’re cutting off a full deck now. Unfortunately it’s just part of the El Cortez ongoing gambling downgrade, including their once robust VP lineup. After over 20... Tell us it ain’t so, ElCo! No more single deck blackjack ..read more
