Simplicity can be very cool. Take Blackjack, for example. If you can count to 21, and get closer to it than the dealer without going over, you win. Simple. The cool part comes in where you play it. Blackjack is played everywhere in Vegas and many players will tell you they look for hot tables and hot dealers. We prefer cool cats at our tables when we hit or stay on the faces and aces, and the blackjack tables at the Palms Casino Resort are the kitty’s whiskers. “A” list TV and movie actors and actresses, rock-and-rollers, supermodels, first-teamers from the NFL, NBA, and NHL, plus heavyweights from the WBC, PGA and NASCAR are thick in the house at the Palms. Turn your head and you may find yourself face-to-face with Ali Landry, Carmen Elektra, Jessica Alba, Toby Maguire, Dennis Rodman, Terrell Owens, Jay-Z, Pink, or the Dahm triplets. Pick the right location from the 55 tables in the 95,000-square foot casino and you may find yourself sharing the velvet with an MVP, or maybe just providing the entertainment for them. There is something special happening in the hotel almost every week, so your chances are good. Palms Casino Resort, 4321 Flamingo Road. (866) 942-7777, www.palms.com
