  • Located within the MGM Grand hotel-casino. This isn't a review of the booze, but of the overall ambience. Whiskey Down is a tiny bar with four blackjack tables. Each of the four gaming tables has a big screen TV mounted directly overhead: if you want to watch a ballgame while playing 21, this is an awesomely perfect environment, like none other in Las Vegas. But MGM has ruined a good thing with high table limits and other oddness. I sat down to play and watch a football game on Sunday at a table with a $25 minimum, the lowest offered at Whiskey Down. Almost immediately the table minimum was raised to $50 (but I was told I was "grandfathered in" at $25). All was well until, in the second quarter, somebody inexplicably decided to shut off the audio from the game and put on loud electronic dance music. I left immediately. The next day I returned hoping to watch Monday Night Football. But they had raised the betting minimums to $100. Even at $25 there were few players, and few bar patrons. This place could be jumping if MGM would only lower the minimum bets to sane levels. Instead of an empty bar with blackjack dealers waiting around for nonexistent $100 bettors they could lower it to maybe $15 and have a room full of raucous football fans. Although gamblers' drinks are complimentary, the atmosphere would draw others who would purchase liquor. To MGM's credit, the blackjack tables are S17 (the dealer must stand on soft 17) which is a more advantageous rule for gamblers than the usual hit-on-soft-17 table. I hate to say this, but the crowd they are looking to attract probably doesn't care about such things. Update: MGM npw only pays 6:5 on blackjacks on tables $25 and under. Don't play these.
