Are there any casinos that let you bet above and beyond the $25 bet like it is mentioned for most casinos throughout the forums and threads here?

I think you're reading that backwards. $25 is the minimum - the max is usually in the thousands.

Assuming you mean minimum bets, the Atlantic Club in AC will let you bet $10 minimum for pai gow tiles. The Borgata has a $20 minimum table.

Maximums range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more with management approval.

Just a side note for people gambling in Vegas. If you bet the $25 minimum you will only pay a 4% commission at fancier properties such as Aria, Bellagio, Venetian, and Palazzo. They only take a dollar since they don't use quarters.

They have .50 pieces so they would charge you the full 1.50 at 30 and I believe the exact same 1.50 at a 35 dollar bet despite the actual commission being 1.75. The strongest "play" in terms of the highest percent of the commission avoided is the $25 bet.

I agree. The best conditions I know of in Vegas are betting $26 a hand ($25 + $1 prepaid commission) at the Venetian specifically, because their house way is relatively weak (due to their "play any 3-point low hand" and "never play Teen in the low hand when separating Teen and Day" rules). Under these conditions, the house edge when banking every other hand is 0.4%. Compare that to a traditional house way with 5% not-prepaid commission, banking every other hand, which has a house edge of 0.74%.

Agreed. It is my favorite place to play in Vegas. (Actually Palazzo).
