Really? My report is basically the exact opposite of this.
I'll say from the start that we were there the week of some big UFC title fight, so the place was packed, mostly with MMA fans, so maybe that affects the experience a bit.
But honestly, we kept leaving to seek out other places to gamble because the minimums there were too high. I didn't find the game you were speaking of. We only went to about four different casinos, but ALL of them had the lame-ass "blackjack pays 6 to 5" and "dealer hits on soft 17" rules in place. MGM had $15 minimums as far as I could tell (the place was packed though). When I felt like playing, I usually walked over to Excalibur which had both $10 minimums for blackjack and craps (cousin's game of choice).
Yikes, I guess the fight and Memorial Day Weekend probably (hopefully) had a lot to do with it. And casinos do like to hide their best games (most favorable odds) far away from the entrance. Hit 17 isn't too bad, 6 to 5 renders the game unplayable. Glad to hear the place was packed though.
