I typically go to CES every January (Consumer Electronics Show). The geek in me loves to see all the new gadgets that companies are working on. And while I'm there in Vegas, I try to gamble a little. Not being a high roller, I actively seek out the $5 blackjack tables. They're tough to find when you're on the strip. There was usually one at The Luxor and one at The Excalibur.

When I'd return to the East coast and go to either Mohegan or Foxwoods, there would almost never be any $5 tables that I could find. Or if there was one, it'd be packed. Apparently Mohegan has just fixed that.

Mohegan Sun continues its special ‘stimulus, recovery and rebound’ efforts by adding more $5.00 tables to its mix of over 300 table games. In February, the Northeast’s premier entertainment destination introduced six low-limit blackjack tables, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as part of its overall ‘stimulus, recovery and rebound’ getaway package.

The twelve new low-limit denomination games will join the existing $5.00 minimum bet blackjack tables in Casino of the Earth, between Seasons Buffet and Sunrise Square.

That might actually entice me to go down there sometime. Field trip anyone?
