Well, as my former downtown host is now a big-wig at SLS, I find myself in the position of heading there for the first ½ of my upcoming trip.

Any cool things I should know?
Comment/Concerns/Criticisms?
Not to miss therein?
Playing conditions?
Secrets?


(I would have posted this in the casino section but SLS did not have it's own spot)

If your guy is a big wig at sls, you will probably find out more secrets than the forum knows.

Noodle place = no

Egyptian place = yes

also heard great things about japanese place.

meat place also getting really high marks.

I keep hearing about a secret casino apart from the main casino but in three visits have yet to actually find it.

you have to push the secret brick in, then turn the torch next to the brick COUNTERclock wise.
if you turn it clock wise, you will drop into a pit of poison cobras.

or am I confusing SLS with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?

SLS is pretty sweaty as far as blackjack goes. This actually is not that uncommon with new places and/or new management. Sometimes they loosen up a bit (hoping), sometimes they don't. It will be interesting to see if they tolerate your bet variations. I am assuming (and we all know about assuming) even with speed count you still vary bets right?

not sure, I haven't had the pleasure of visiting the ultra lounge. I assume you had to have been a high rolling speed counter ; ) there for that. I have limited play there. I only went there for the loss rebate and a few other short visits. They did send me good offers but not worth going from Vegas to AC to collect.

I don't remember I don't platy very much on able games any more unless I have something fairly juicy.or im with friends who want to mess around. I don't actively search for good games.

Last time I attempted to count (I say attempted because im very rusty, I'm thinking of permanently downgrading to speed count)was at SLS just to show some action months ago. It was a $25 min table, I went from $25 ramping up to $300. I did very well. Over 2k. Some chips may have accidentally fallen in my pocket.

I think im great at cover and being very observant. However I get distracted easy and it becomes a chore I dislike.

Axel and another forum member swears they saw a 11/10 walking through. Maybe Russian. I refuse to believe.

Also lost $10 to Axel when he bet me a girl sitting at the bar by herself was a hooker. My hooker-radar is way broken.

It seems like its a host friendly place lots of discretionary stuff.

They had a few good new members promotions, but not much now( free spin that averages $6) The have some small daily/ weekly tournaments that seem easily earned 3k total prizes and $10 in FP.

They don't send much via bounce back or good offers(free room and $5-$10 in FP with earned points.) I heard that's changing(it better)

Its a younger crowd full of hot girls and ladies of the night. The center bar has many ladies of the night.

Eat at Cleo and the Japanese place. Avoid the noodles restaurant.

The VIP host office is nice.

The suits are fair.
