Does anyone else think that's a really dumb name?

I have relatives living in Cromwell Ct. so I'm used to the name. Most people think the town was named after Oliver Cromwell but it was actually named after a ship that was named after Cromwell. It's confusing and weird.

I don't quite understand the concept of placing an "intimate" hotel at the busiest intersection.
They're downplaying the casino, so possibly they hope to channel into the success of Revel in AC.

Yeah, I did that same thing. On Monday, I went to the Max and Cromwell. I'm 99.96% sure that there were more players at the Max than there were at the Cromwell, even though the Max is 1/3 the size and off the strip. I suppose the Westin is a functioning upscale hotel and that may have helped feed players to the Max, but it was creepy how dead the Cromwell was.

This very high 6:5 to Legit ratio seems to be common in most strip casinos.
I wonder if any of those 4 Legit tables was less than $50 min.
With few exceptions, most of the Strip 3:2 tables that I saw were $50 min everywhere I went.
I recently did my own survey in anticipation of my next trip and Bellagio told me the do not have any 6:5.
But of course, that could change at any time.

They have one low limit ($25) Baccarat table with the Dragon Bonus. Dropped by there last Tuesday when I visited Vegas again. Man it is hot over there during the summer. Very nice hotel/casino. Good job with the renovation with the place. But really missed the cheap eats when it was Bill's.

They don't care about gambling and/or gamblers. Just tourists who know not how and wish free rooms in exchange for giving up their chance to win.

Of course they do! Don't you watch The Simpsons ? There's a "new" surefire way to win thousands at blackjack without getting caught!
Step 1: learn to count
Step 2: seriously, learn to count properly
Step 3: when the count is high, give the signal for your confederate at the bar to join the game and bet big
Step 4: leave before the security goons get their hands on you (no, I don't know why security didn't bother to watch all of the exits, since they have cameras pretty much everywhere)
Step 5: since they have your photos, return using disguises (no, I don't know why they just didn't go to another casino)
Step 6: under no circumstances do you let your dimwit husband have any idea where you are or what you are doing.
Step 7: if, somehow, your dimwit husband ends up being held in some casino backroom for some reason and is threatened unless the "stolen" money is returned, appeal to the casino's corporate owners (no, I don't know why they simply didn't respond, "Er, you are aware that holding him with force against his will is kidnapping, right? No, he's not trespassing, and "taking things into your own hands" earned O.J. Simpson a hefty prison sentence, so what makes you think you can get away with it?")
And why do I have the feeling that the ending of that episode (where Homer stands up for card counters and is promptly tossed out of the casino) was written by somebody who has been backed off at least once?

You (or anyone else) didn't happen to catch any low limit ($5-$10) Craps or BJ or tables, and if so I'll assume they would be in the 6/5 for BJ category?

That is funny, from the Barbary Coast, a total dump, to the "Cramwell!!"
From $99 ! (not including their resort fee).
The only saving grace is that Drai"s is still there, (oh the joy) but I guess it's on the roof now? Only $600 for bottle service by the pool for "Nelly" Damn I'm going to miss it.

I'd be surprised if they didn't; for a while, they've been advertising themselves to be the best value on the strip, with 3:2BJ and Single-0 roulette. Last time I was there, 25$ 2D 3:2 tables were pretty much empty, while there were other tables of lower limits that were packed, though I'm not sure is they were 5, 10, or 15.

Well, it was in the morning, but when I was there in June, they had a $10 craps game that was crowded - but I stopped paying attention when I saw the 9/6 quarter JoB machines. (You read that right - 9/6 Jacks or Better, 25 cents a credit, and yes it was the Cromwell)

Really good drinks at the bar still comped while playing low level VP. I’m sure decent tipping doesn’t hurt but never had an issue and a close walk to the restrooms.
Little things matter to Boz and wife loves the Martini’s so it’s a must stop every strip trip.

It also doesn't hurt that they have the friendliest dealers on the strip. I once asked them why the dealers in Cromwell seem so much more welcoming than all those robot dealers on the strip, and they said the Cromwell does extra screenings in their hiring process to only hire friendly and bubbly personalities.

I never play at the Cromwell.
All the dealers I play with are friendly, and all of them know my name. I gave one of the girls a rose a couple trips ago.
I think the Cromwell is where someone I know got busted for counterfeit chips not long ago. He hasn't given me all the details yet, but I know he was playing at the Cromwell that trip.
