Full Pay $5 Blackjack on Strip?

Is there Full Pay $5 Blackjack on the stretch of the Strip between Encore and Mandalay Bay?
Not likely, if there is it is lousy 6 deck Hit 17. To hell with the Strip. Go to El Cortez-full pay single deck. Just bring one of those fancy Wynn drink cups and you will think it is the Strip!

I don't think the fancy drink cup is the main difference between Wynn and El Cortez (Vegas like it used to be).
Yes, there is.
Several MGM casinos offer it in the morning and late night hours. Is it as good as the El Cortez? No, but for a $5 player, you'd need to camp out for days to make up the difference in EV. Wild Wild West, a medium walk west of NYNY sometimes has a pretty good DD game, but it hours vary.

might the Tropicana have 3:2 $5 games? on weekday mornings at least?

Those lousy $5 6 deck Hit 17 games have literally TRIPLE the house edge as the El Cortez. Also, WWW is NOT on the Strip!
Best bet is to take the Deuce to LV and Fremont and get out just about at the entrance to El Cortez. The $5 BJ on the Strip is simply dreadful.
There's a good 6-deck $15 game at the MGM Grand.

And a good $5 game at the El Cortez - Las Vegas Like It Used To Be.

Check 'em out at the Wizard of Vegas .
teechur's post immediately above is most informative.
good freakin grief. Not everyone wants to take a bus and go downtown. The original question was pretty specific. Does anyone have an answer to the question that was asked?
I don't blame you. I went downtown one time last year when I went to Vegas on my second trip. What a dump. Walking around there at night requires a firearm with good stopping power. I saw several gangbangers and people that just looked like they were looking for trouble down there.

As for the question, NYNY has $5 tables. They switch to $10 after 2 or 3pm I think. It was a Friday when I played. I didn't see any single deck bj though.
