Changes coming to Downtown.

I don't recall the details of the game, but they used to call it the most liberal rules in Nevada while Jackie owned it, and it was. BJ paid 3-2 but suited something's paid 2-1. Then they switched to BJ paying even money unless suited, if I recall correctly. One trip it was great. My next trip I stayed there, instead of the Cortez and they had changed the rules. Tamares killed the place.

It will be a NEW DOWNTOWN! That's fine.
The strip properties will take notice.

I have always been a down town boy. Why would that make me go to the strip,if it changed?
Not me,so far.
The Steven's boys will make it a real run for the strips tourist MONEY.
Sure,we will see,but I'm IN!!!!!

DonDiego used to appreciate the Las vegas Club too.

Way back when just about every downtown joint offered good single-deck games, the Las Vegas Club offered "The World's Most Liberal Blackjack Rules". And one knew that because the rules were spelled out on a big sign hanging over the blackjack pit.
[DonDiego has searched the internets for a photograph of the sign, but without success.]
[n.b. The game to which DonDiego refers is from the 1980's or 1990's - not the game introduced at the Las Vegas Club in 2012 pretending to have the "most liberal rules".]

As DonDiego recalls it was a 6, or maybe 8, deck game featuring: doubling allowed on 2, 3 or 4 cards, late surrender, and a 6-card-hand less-than-or-equal-to-21 was an automatic winner. And pr'bly some other benefits he's forgotten. Technically it was not quite as good as "downtown-Vegas single deck" rules, but still very good and a pleasant novelty.

this entire block development is going to cause lots of problems for the "Fremont Street Experience". The street is just not that wide. If they are going to build right up to the property line as all the Fremont street business' have done. By the time they get the area cordoned off for safety it is going to cut the street almost in half. All the construction noise and such is going to have a huge impact on the casinos nearby. I think it may harm Plaza the most but certainly create some problems for all of them on the west end of Fremont.

with this said, I am excited too see what they bring to this area.

This was known as a 6 Card Charlie. They also paid a 777.
