Central Las Vegas Strip Blackjack 2024

Las Vegas Strip - Central Casinos

The Central Las Vegas Strip offers some of the best and worst blackjack games in Las Vegas. Like most parts of Las Vegas, the higher limit games are generally the ones with the player-friendly rules. Those willing to wager at least $50 per hand will find some of the best blackjack tables in the entire market here.

Below you will find all of the Central Las Vegas casinos and the blackjack games and tables they offer.

Bally’s

The best game at Bally’s is in the high limit area, which is elevated on the south end of the casino. It spreads a six-deck shoe that stands on all 17s and allows double down before and after splitting, surrender and re-split aces. The other high limit game is a double deck that hits soft 17. Double down before and after splitting are permitted in this game.

Players will find eight-deck shoes on the main floor that pay 3-2 among the 6-5 ones. Double down before and after splitting, as well as surrender, are allowed. Bally’s players should beware that the Double Attack Blackjack game now pays even money on a natural. This makes it one of the worst blackjack games in Las Vegas.
