$5 or $3 Craps in Vegas

We are heading to Vegas next week. It has been several years. We are hoping we will be able to find a $5 (or lower) table on the Strip. Does anybody know if that exists? Does time of the day matter?

Casino Royale is your best bet. They have $3 craps with 20x odds and If you bet $5, you can do 100X odds. Good luck. Despite the casino being really smokey, it's the best place to play craps low limit in my opinion.

Wow! That place still exists? I had heard that some new casino, Linq, had gobbled up that property. Maybe I am confused with another dive casino. There was one that had beer pong tables in it.

You're thinking of the Irish casino. Yes that Irish casino reopened at the linq. Casino Royale still exists and thriving.

Yes. Now I remember which is which. Casino Royale has (had) an Outback Steakhouse on the 2nd floor and the Irish place had a Burger King (I think) inside.
I also remember the smokeyness of Casino Royale.
Thanks for the tip. Give Roy my best.

While I am on the subject of cheap tables, is $5 Pae Gow to be found anywhere in Vegas? That game has the most optimal Free-Drink-to-Expected-Loss ratio.

I just read on the Casino Royale forum that they are down to just 1 craps table. That sucks.
Is there $5 craps out at the casino fka Sahara? Is it worth the monorail trip?

My OP was limited to the Strip. Let's expand the area. What about Fremont Street? Is there $3 or $5 craps there? Which casino would you recommend?

binions has $3 tables weekday mornings sometimes...they are quick to change it to $5 tho and $10 is most common...IIANM tho you are grandfathered in at $3 or $5...the fremont is famous for their 3 dollar table but it is only 2x odds last couple times i was there....the el cortez frequently has $3 tables 10x odds...and no matter what anyone tells you you can ALWAYS find a $5 table downtown...i have never been to main street station when they didn't have a $5 table---and i play there alot...20x odds too...

I'm pretty sure Luxor routinely has $5 3/4/5x going midweek. I walked past one early Weds morning as I cut through Luxor on the way to Delano. Excalibur may as well.

Some MGM casinos (I'm thinking of NYNY particularly) will open a table at $5 in the morning then move on up.
MGM should always grandfather you, I've never been kicked off a table at any of their casinos. CET is casino by casino.
I'm surprised MSS (Main Street Station, downtown) hasn't been mentioned. Many $5 tables, 20x odds, and great crews.

Try Palace Station for a $3 game.

The best value in town isn't a $3 table, it's the $5 double odds table at the Venetian over by the sports book (speaking of dealers that hate).

Both Luxor and Excalibur have $5 3/4/5x tables, 24/7 to my knowledge/experience. I have not seen a $5 table at NYNY but I am not there in the morning after sunrise.

I gotta add here that not betting odds is the classy way to reduce the required bankroll to play craps at a given location.
Playing a $25 on the Cosmopolitan with single odds is far better than $3 with 20x odds at the Casino Royale if you have ANY concern for having a pleasant entertaining experience.
If you go to the SLS, you can get both tables adjacent to one another. I will play the $10 345x table over the $5 10x table almost every time. And of course, the people at the $5 are not usually betting max odds, and instead are betting hardways and prop bets(!!!)
Of course if you are truly concerned with the $0.10 per roll savings you get at the Casino Royale, hopefully you are getting enough rolls to make it worthwhile.
Gas money to get there and back should not be ignored if you are going to split this many hairs.

Since Steve Wynn started offering double odds to increase the cost of his $10 to $50 tables on the main floor, across the street, they opened a new craps table by the sports book that is not open 24/7 but when it is open it is $5 double odds.
The dealers HATE working this table and have been rude each and every time I go there and bet $5 with double odds and play to have fun.
You still get all the same free drinks as at any other table.
Find the sportsbook at the Venetian, and it's pretty close by.
When I played last, I think they opened at 10:00am or maybe 11:00am on a Saturday morning.
I would never have known about it except Teddy (from this forum) told me about it.

when I was at Binions last decade, they had the party pit near the front door.
included was a craps table operated by girls in sexy outfits.

Still this way as of yesterday; I was just there. I saw the table as I was being told that my step-son couldn't ride his self-balancing scooter on the Fremont Street Experience.
I had a full 10-minute conversation with the Security Officers riding their bicycles telling me how they were worried about being sued because my boy was having fun.
The end result of this conversation was me picking up the scooter and carrying it back to my car and letting the security officers know what I thought about them.
I would post the exact words I used to tell the security officers what I thought, but that would be against the TOS.

I saw $5 and $10 craps at Cromwell last Tuesday around 10pm. Both were busy but neither were packed.
I invented a few casino games. Info:

If you really want a good rush take the wizards picks for next Sundays football, do you self a favor and just sit in the sports book all day. Enjoy the daylong rush for little money with a chance at a high payout. Normally (before I lived here ) when we came on vacation with my dad's friends and I we would hit the craps tables for a few hours (depending on how well we did) while the wives played slots in golden nugget or four queens. We enjoyed four queens as the waitress literally just circles the tables ( 8 beers a piece per hour and they do bring two at a time) the following day we put our sports bets in and hit up a hash house a go go which I believe is in the plaza and hang out there as the book is quite nice. Just a thought. As far as 5 dollar tables.... they are just about every where I've been. Only on a Sunday afternoon could I not get one at the venetian due to what ahigh said... the 5 dollar one by the sports book is really roudy and always packed.

If you can find a $5 game there, play at O'Sheas. You will never get faster drink service in your life. Maybe at the Cromwell...Quote: DJTeddyBearI saw $5 and $10 craps at Cromwell last Tuesday around 10pm. Both were busy but neither were packed.

Palace Stations has 3 & 5 dollars game with x10 odds 24/7. They have Fire Bet, All Tall, Small, Make Them All bets options on different tables. However, don't expect a lot of rolls in between because prop bets are ridiculous here. People buy in and out in the middle of the roll and they wait for $20 dollars buy in. Dealers cross-fire like there's no tomorrow.
Excalibur has 5 dollars game with with 3/4/5 odds and Tall/Small/Make Them Up bet is available.
Most casinos in Downtown (Fremont's) are $5 bucks as well.
Sun Coast/Orleans do also have $5 game except no Fire Bet no Feature Bets.

I need to add that the Downtown Grand offers a $5 game non-stop now. When they first opened it was $10 345x odds. But it has been $5 10x for a while now I understand. I don't know how long it will last, but it's as good as the SLS except for the SLS has better service at the moment. I know that the Downtown Grand is going through a lot of improvements in their pit, and I would suggest that anyone that has written them off consider going back in the next few months.
They also have no problems giving you Red Bull including in a can. The drink service and cocktail waitresses are AWESOME.
I have seen Hawaiians here (IE: from the Cal, etc) with big action too. So if you like hanging with the Hawaiians, it's seeming to be their second home to the Cal these days.
