From 10x odds on Craps to full pay 3-2 single and double deck Blackjack, and more, there’s a reason we’re the best gamble in Las Vegas. “My vote for tops (blackjack) in Vegas goes to El Cortez” – Anthony Curtis, Vegas Seven. Review of Casino at the El Cortez Hotel Reviewed July 29, 2014 My husband and I like to gamble at the cheaper tables, and we found them at El Cortez. We played $3 minimum craps for hours and then moved onto $5 blackjack! El Cortez Single Deck Blackjack El Cortez, located just east of the Fremont Street Experience downtown, is one of two casinos in Las Vegas that still spreads 3-2 single deck blackjack. The game is found at most of its tables. The minimum bet is usually $5, but peak hours may become $10.
After reading everything on this site about Cortez I felt quite paranoid while playing. I kept asking myself if they were constantly watching me. Kinda Unnerving but the dealers were all nice... I Sometimes did not bet the max when I should have and playing at least 3 units on a new shuffle. A cover play i learned here form you I think Kewlj. I doubt it was a big enough cover though...
I played at the EC a few weeks ago, only did a 1-5 spread, and had a similar experience to you. Expected to get heat that never came. Though I only played 30-45 minutes.
Thanks for the heads ups. When I colored up I just wanted to say Thank You but she never looked over or made eye contact.

Retreating back to minimum wager at the shuffle is just a huge tell. When playing single/double deck, I never do this. If you only retreat to some intermediate wager, you can then spread both ways, up if the count goes good or retreat back down further on a bad count. This technique is not new, certainly not something that I can take credit for and it seems like a minor detail, but you would be surprised how effective it can be. Most counters don't spread both way, so casinos aren't looking for that.
Is this post accurate? Can I get a link on the Wilkenson decision?

'lol Doesn't really matter. In Vegas, backoffs and barrings, even after having been read trespass act, have no consequences, other than you must leave that day. The Wilkenson decision from the 70's still stands today in that even after being read the trespass act, the patron must first be given the chance to leave. '

Playing 1-5 spread. I was down about 300 dollars when the pitboss started keeping an eye on me.
I should have covered on the high count and bet low. I was an idiot. A few hands later he comes behind me and taps me on the shoulder.
'I know what you're doing' He winks. 'You're going to have to keep it at a flat bet of 5 dollars'
That was friday night. I figured I'd stop in on Saturday (different shift right?) and give it another whirl. On my first hand I had placed a 25 dollar wager. I could see another pitboss get a call on the telephone right away. He walked up to me and said
'After this hand, no more blackjack, you can play anything else'
So did the eye in the sky recognize me from a picture? I don't get it. I guess the El Cortez is as sweaty as they say.
I'll be visiting them soon. Anything I could do better next time?

I'll make sure to do this more often! Thanks kewlj
Still a dozen tables or so left straight from the entrance, but certainly not good news.
Played for 2 hours spreading a 5-25 for old-times sake and walked out even after losing all my big bets. The new dealer allowed people to DAS which must have brought the HE down to zero, I could not convert it though.

Heat is MUCH higher on double deck and they hawk that game. They don't like much of a spread AND they will call 'checks in play' with much less than $100 on the bet.........LOL
