Hello.. I am new here but not new to gambling or video poker. I've
recently booked a trip to Vegas for Sept 5-9 and am staying at the
Golden Nugget. Although I've read that downtown really isn't the best
for first time visitors, I wanted to experience the "real" Vegas-I may
even make the trip down to the Western if I feel courageous enough. 
I will of course make trips to the Strip for some play. I only plan
to play the best games-JoB/FPDW VP and single deck blackjack, at least
for any serious gambling action. I also play regular poker but that's
a different animal. Anyway, does anyone have advice on where to play
single or dual deck blackjack, without the lousy 6:5? Also, why are
there no $1 FPDW machines anywhere? I think the El Cortez has ONE,
and that's the only one in the whole town. Any advice would be
appreciated.
