Card Counting at the Venetian in Las Vegas

The Venetian in Las Vegas isn’t exactly the best place for card counting at low stakes. To get good blackjack rules you have to be able to play in the high limit room on $100 minimum tables. Otherwise you’re stuck playing a terrible 8-deck game on the main floor or a double deck game that only deals about 50% deep. For card counting purposes, those games are pretty much unplayable.

The only game I would consider playing is the high limit 6-deck blackjack. There you’ll find great rules and decent enough penetration. Usually there will only be one or two 6-deck tables open, so you can’t really move around much. However, from my experience I’ve never had a problem throwing out some very large bets without getting too much heat. So for higher stakes blackjack players with a large bankroll, counting cards at Venetian is fine. For lower stakes players, you will want to find another casino that has good games on the main gaming floor.
