How about a Reno update? Any new casinos going up there, or planned, these days?

I go to Vegas because I love to play single-deck blackjack. Now I'm finding out more and more from current on-line research that the single-deck games are lousy (paying 6 to 5 on blackjack etc.). If I wanted to play a six deck game, I'd stay at home and give my business to the local Indian Casino. Are there any good single-deck games to be found in Las Vegas or has it gone the way of the dinosaur?

We will be in Las Vegas in April and are looking for a good Greek restaurant. Heard there is one at the Greek Isles, but that the hotel and its eateries have seen better days. Is that true?

I'll be going to Las Vegas in May, arriving one day after my birthday. Are there any "birthday specials" at any of the casinos? Not just on the Strip.

Someone told me that the servers on the casino floors get charged for the "free" drinks that they serve. Is this true, or is it another of the Las Vegas legends? It will make a difference in how I tip if it is true. And how much does a cocktail waitress actually earn?

Have we seen the end of inexpensive Las Vegas? Reasons for the question: Air fares have nudged up year-round to LV; add in normal room rates, normal food prices, and high show prices and I'm getting the feeling that the casinos don't need my middle-income Midwest money two or more times a year anymore. Your thoughts?
