Just got back from Vegas. My buddy and I were in the mood for a $5.00 Black Jack table at 12:00 pm on a Saturday night and we were staying at the Imperial Palace. We started wandering down the strip and took a "wrong" turn at Bill's Gambling hall and ended up at Ellis Island. We were "impressed" by the polished cement floors, but we decided to give it a try after our trek. We sat down at a $5- table (which is impossible to find on the Strip on a weekend) and I quickly went up $20-. The drink service was quick and my gambling partner quickly downed a couple of blue hawaiians. We were playing with some locals who worked at the Venetian, and had an excellent time.
The next day, we returned with the full group on the morning of our last day in Vegas for some cheap gambling and almost fell over when we saw a $1 table at 11:00 AM. Sure, that's early for most people, but, I actually experienced a $1 Blackjack table in Las Vegas.

I've heard about this palce for years and on my recent trip, we finally made the walk over. Took the monorail to Bally's/Paris stop, and then straight out the back door...Don't go for the casino, go for the cheap, exceptional food. We ate in The Restaurant and had the $6.99 steak special which was fantastic. But they also have a barbecue joint and the smells were out of this world. We'll it that up next time. One small complaint, the wait was a litle longer than necessary becasue there were several open tables the entire evening we were there. As for the casino, it's small and dingy, but it's cheap. While you're there, take advantage of the cheap table games and slots. It was also karakoe night when we were there, at least there was a show.

don't waste your time. Coupons brought us to this coupon, and we ere enjoying ourselves for a little while. We found the dealers to be very rude. One was so rude we just left. We skipped out before the steak or more gambling due to the very rude and unprofessional behavior of one dealer.

The beer here was great. Too bad they don't name them (just dark lager, light lager, etc - they aren't even lagers!). A good beer selection was hard to find in Vegas, I'm used to all the microbrews on the East Coast, but Ellis Island was a treat. $1 drafts are the bar, $1.50 in the restaurant. The food here is also well priced and pretty yummy. Worth the trek off the strip.
