Table Games:
All the usual suspects. Blackjack, craps, roulette, pai gow,
Carribean Stud, Let it Ride, etc. Craps is true double odds,
and none of the games are the best in town. Mostly it's average
table gaming. They have one of Las Vegas' best sportsbooks here,
though. They re-installed the table games in the SpaceQuest area
of the casino, so if you want to play roulette or blackjack in
a tacky space-themed area, wander on over.
Machines:
From a nickel through the roof. An improved selection of video
poker. They don't have full-pay double bonus, but they do have
full-pay loose-deuces and several other VP variations, like All-American.
The SpaceQuest Casino slots are very lame, and the slots are
quite tight. Some VP in the SpaceQuest area is good, though,
so pick your machine carefully.
Bet Minimums:
$5 on weekdays at the tables, but it can get steep during big
conferences or busy weekends. During Comdex we heard rumors of
$100 minimums. The annoying Spacequest casino is now the low-roller
part of the casino and you can find $5 limits there when the
big casino is higher.
Cocktails?
Pretty good, but they're really going after businessmen who drink
in moderation. Unlike some places, they're goal isn't to get
you loaded. This should be the goal of every man and woman, though.
Who Gets Comps?
The slot club pays an unbelievably generous 0.83% cash back to
nickel VP players (1.67% for nickel slots), and 0.50% cash back
on quarter and higher VP action (0.83% to 1.25% for slots), and
that's great for the serious players (remember, though, that
the slot machines are reportedly tight). For table games, this
is a high-roller place when it comes to comps, so unless you're
throwing around green chips, don't hope for much more than a
buffet comp.
