Due to a favorite game being shut down I've been donating shoe leather in scouting Vegas, and much to my delight playable, 3:2, mid-limit, non-CSM blackjack has been showing up in places it had been banished from for years.
Four Queens/Binion's, Sahara, and the MGM stores on the nether end of the Strip all have shoe games, $25 or so, and mostly with late surrender. Caesar's stores seem to have a bit more playability too. Maybe management has gotten the "Just put it back the way it was" message. Buffets and bands could be next!

All the $25 tables were crowded at my local casino on a Saturday night. I'd need to bring $1,000 just for a session.

The only place I used to go regularly was Ellis Island, since they had playable 3:2 shoe games. Unfortunately, they didn’t have surrender, so seeing late surrender make its way back into more places is especially nice to hear.
Hopefully this is a sign that things are moving in the right direction for blackjack in Vegas again.
