I played more blackjack on this trip than usual and for some reason we gravitated toward the Vegas Club, located at the end of Fremont Street across Main Street from the Plaza.

The VC feels like old Vegas. Not Horseshoe old Vegas, but close. I'm still trying to figure out the theme of the place. I thought it was sports, because some of the waitresses dress as cheerleaders (and in  most cases that is a mistake) and there is a sports memorabilia section but then I noticed that a lot of the dealers wear tropical shirts and the music that plays over the speakers is classic rock. I'll keep working on that question.

The staff here are very, very nice and the waitresses come by on a pretty regular basis to keep your glass filled. The drinks are small, but flow steadily.

The reason I am really writing this is because the VC has two tables that are $5 minimums and are advertised as the "Most Liberal Blackjack Rules in the World" which the website describes as "Score big by splitting aces & pairs as many times as you want! Double down on any 2, 3 or 4! And any six cards, totaling 21 or less - YOU WIN!".

The tables are usually full but I managed to find a seat.

The first thing you should be aware of is that a regular 21 pays even money. A suited 21 pays 2 to 1. There is also an option to surrender your cards for one half of your bet if you don't like your hand.

To be honest, I haven't found anyplace yet that tells you the correct way to play using these rules. I didn't like the even money pay on the blackjack, but over a couple of days gambling it seemed to come out about even when you figure in the 2X pay on suited cards, which happens pretty often.
 
You have to revise your double down strategy slightly. For instance, let's say you are holding a 6 and the dealer has a 6. The basic strategy tells you to double down, which is what I was doing when one of the dealers suggested I take one card before deciding to double. I did that on the next similar hand, hit a five and then doubled for a 21. The dealer had a ten under, hit and got a four which gave him twenty (which seems to happen all too often).

I need to think these rules through a little more but if you are headed to downtown Vegas I would highly recommend the Vegas Club and trying a few hands at these tables.
