Walking around the Fremont Street Experience, dazzled by the lights, sights, and sounds of Old Vegas... I found myself wandering into the Fremont Casino to get my gamble on. Though I am not much of a gambler (I know.. why even go to Vegas right?) I was enticed by the $3 blackjack they advertised. I felt comfortable spending what I wanted to here... at a buy in that would make my money last for a while and allow me a decent amount of entertainment before I was broke.
In the end I came out even... but I was able to get a good couple of hours worth of play with just $50 or so. Blackjack is blackjack... but what made this an enjoyable place were the dealers. Having sat at a few different tables over my visit (not only here but at many other casinos as well), almost all of the dealers here were friendly, personable, and a joy to interact with. This was not the case at some of the other places and as a newbie to table games, it is not so enjoyable when you have an intimidating dealer staring you down as you add up card totals in your head. I want to win money... but I also want to have fun doing it.
It is not terribly smoky in here... and the drink girls make their rounds frequently so you are never without something in your cup!
I did not stay at the hotel here so I am comment-less regarding that aspect of this establishment. If though, you are looking for a laid back casino in the Fremont Street area with the option of spending as little as $3 a hand... this is the place for you. (And this is straight up, $3 bets. I visited some other places where part of your $3 had to be placed on special side bets that you were far less likely to benefit from.) Some may ask, what could you really win when spending so little? A good deal in fact! My boyfriend left $80 up on our first visit after just a short time!
