Double deck is alive and well in Las Vegas. The better games deal |
S17, DAS, DOA. Caesars Palace deals a S17, DAS, DOA, LSR, RSA double |
deck game, but it is $100 minimum, and sometimes higher. The RSA is a |
sometimes thing, only offered to "known" players. |
The Mirage, Monte Carlo, Bally's, Paris and Venetian deal a 55% |
penetrated double deck game (DAS, DOA), with heat starting at multiple |
black chips. Bellagio still deals a 70%, yes, 70% penetrated double |
deck game with S17, DAS, DOA. |
NY-NY has a S17, D10/11 double deck game, and both Harrah's and |
Imperial Palace have an H17, DOA, DAS game (at least the used to). |
Treasure island also has a S17, DOA, DAS double deck game (55% pen), |
but only in the high limit area. |
Excalibur and Circus Circus have some doubl deck, but I'm not sure |
about either the penetration or the rules. |
The Stratosphere used to have a good double deck game, but no longer. |

A couple additions to Harvey's excellent reply: |
Most places have one set of rules for all their DD games, but some vary. At |
Bally's and Treasure Island, some of the DD games are s17 and some are h17. |
(The same is true of other games, by the way. At the MGM Grand, for example, |
the shoes are mostly s17 but there's one pit of h17.) |
There's late surrender, along with DAS and s17, at the DD at the LV Hilton. |
The penetration is so terrible, though, that it's not worth the trip to the |
out-of-the-way Hilton. (If you're even a casual Star Trek fan, though, their |
Star Trek Experience is definitely worth the trip.) |
Most of the DD tables at Harrah's have bad rules -- h17 and no DAS. They used |
to offer s17 in the high-limit pit but I think that's been discontinued. |
The Flamingo Hilton, with h17 but DAS, is worth a look. |
According to Current Blackjack News, the DD at the Venetian consists of a |
single table with a $200 minimum. On my one visit there, more than a year ago, |
I didn't notice any DD, but I wasn't really looking. |
Good luck! |
