What Strip casinos have double deck pitch BJ?
I have heard rumors that the Venetian offers it, but this is unconfirmed.
I would direct you to the blackjack survey on this site but unfortunately it's not very current anymore.
These games are fairly expensive and you won't find one for less than $25 on the Strip.
All pitch games are dealt face down. (The only thing I've seen dealt face up was a double-deck shoe game in Wheeling, West Virginia).

Double-deck games are almost always dealt face down (corrected). I can't think of a single exception in Vegas.

I'm honestly not trying to start something, but these posts seem to be in direct conflict. Am I missing something, or do we just have a difference of opinion on how the games are dealt on the strip?

I agree. I have heard from several people that pitch Blackjack games can be found Downtown and in locals casinos. The question is, do any Strip casinos still offer these games?

I blew it, I meant double-deck games are almost always dealt face DOWN. Sorry for the confusion; I don't know what got into me.
Probably something to do with the lack of math in the question. ;-)Quote: WizardI don't know what got into me.
There wasn't enough discussion in your original post for the oops to be obvious as a typo.
Quote: ahiromuOn this, why would a -player- want the cards to be dealt face down? Not insulting or judging, just curious.
Tradition and feel, I guess. There are a surprising number of BJ players that really like the feel of handling the cards - enough to support too many of those 6:5 tables out there.
For those that don't count cards, mathematically it makes very little difference.
Quote: zarlengpI am looking for double deck "pitch" (dealt face down) BJ on the Las Vegas Strip. It seems that these tables are hard to find. Has anyone seen any of these tables recently?
I know you asked "on the Strip", but good DD games with low minimums are very easy to find if you're willing to go even slightly "off-Strip".

It is actually quite common in the midwest IF they offer a double-deck game to place it in a shoe and deal it face up.
In Missouri, this is because of the state law that says no game can be dealt directly from the hand (except live poker). But even in Iowa, Indiana and Kansas casinos that offer DD still often deal out of the shoe. I suppose it means they have to change cards less. What many of those casinos do however is allow the player to handle the cards; it's just not a pitch game.

El Cortez $3 game.
