hmm...ok...well yes you would have to walk past those tables...hmm...if your that desperate go out the exit and then go to the street level and walk around the side of the MGM to where the limos and taxis are...from there go back inside and you'll be right next to the parking garage. Thats the best i can do right now.

As far as Black Jack i'm no card counter because I like to drink and watch/talk to people. The two things I have noticed from Las Vegas Black Jack.1. You will never win with 8 deck shoes. The majority of your basic strategy is to hold when dealer has 2 - 6. But the dealer seems to always makes a hand with 8 decks. Don't try to tell me there are more tens for the dealer to bust.2. The Hard Rock's 5 dollar and 25 dollar chips look almost identical. A few drinks, the dark lights and before you know it all your chips are gone because you did'nt get change for your quarter chips. Next time you go to Hard Rock look at how closely the 5 and 25 dollar chip resemble.You can also never make a run at Hard Rock because inevitabley some good looking girl or some dumb guy will sit down at your table and hit on sixteen against the dealers five. Over and over again. Stay away from BJ

since I know f*** all about blackjack I can stay away easily, but some of my friends who are very good at poker are very bad at all the other games, and they still can't stay off the roulette tables or blackjack tables.One of my buddies played 2-5 nl at Foxwoods for 10 hours, won $3000, and then bet $1000 on red lol.Being the lucky sob he is, he won, and we pulled him away before he could give it all away.

Dont just shove huge bets on blackjack and expect to win. Treat it like poker use money and bankroll management and learn to play the game learn when to raise and lower your bets and learn some self control dude. Blackjack is a game that can be beat.

what casino in Vegas uses 8 decks...5 is standard....you know..the thing is..i was always a blackjack player before a poker player...been playing poker for about 6 years now but was playing black jack for over 10......just stay away from the blackjack tables...you might have a good run and win some money but eventually they will take what you won and more..way more.....

all you have to do is card count.     I've made a lot of money in blackjack.    Variance is pretty big , though but I think the variance is actually smaller than Poker Tourneys.
ha ha ha ha ha.HA HA HA HA HA.HEE haw HEEEEEEE haw.When you have a particularly good night and rake in the mucho-profitoh, do you celebrate in your mother's basement?

yeah it is really censored that they put the casino in the fcp poker.  I just know that if I ever do well in a mtt, I am going to go straight to black jack, just to play with a little of the winnings.
you cant compare online casino to real live blackjack...online blackjack is rigged...
