Rules
Blackjack a fairly simple game. You can find the complete rules here [wikipedia.org]. In short, the dealer and player both get two cards and only one of the dealer's cards is face-up. The player chooses to stand or hit. Hit means taking another card and it can be done until you are satisfied. The goal is the reach a total value of 21. If the player goes over 21, the bet is lost. It is possible to double down, and then you will get exactly one more card. It is also possible to split your two cards if they have the same value. You will then have two blackjack hands.

1) This doesn't seem to be a topic discussed much anywhere. In lieu of e-mailing the casinos, can anyone tell me which Las Vegas casinos offer these 'cheap' tables. I 'Googled' this topic, and found, for example, that the Casino Royale, Ellis Island, and several casinos in North Las Vegas used to offer these games - but this info. was outdated. I would sure appreciate any current information on which casinos offer a Blackjack game with player-favorable rules (e.g., 3:2 Blackjack instead of 6:5) with $1, $2, or $3 minimim Blackjack.
2) Are there any out of the ordinary things to expect at such tables, besides lots of players and people who may not be especially skilled as to how to play blackjack?

In addition to the very fair Longhorn/Bighorn (same game, different casinos) and Hacienda games that are listed in the survey, Jokers Wild and Poker Palace both spread $2 games.
I like the Klondike Sunset for their $2 game, open late afternoons and evenings (sometimes).
$1 games are rarer than the Dodo. Parse that as you will. Jokers was $3 when I went there last. Ellis Island is usually $5. Casino Royale no longer has blackjack. Poker Palace is fun, as is Jerry's Nugget. I wouldn't recommend the 'Horns.
I know in Reno and Carson City, you can find a good $2 game at a lot of places.
USED to (When Fitz in Reno was open) on Wednesday's they'd have a $1 BJ game (single deck, 3:2, Double-Anything)

I've also played $3 Jack in various Washington State casinos.
All were non-automatic shufflers.
I do not know if the info is accurate, but the date indicates it is current. I am going out in Nov, son please let me know if you find any $3 tables..
Thanks!
On the Strip, Bill's, Casino Royale, and O'Shea's have cheapie action.
Also some slightly off-strip 'near strip' properties with high class (Westin Causarina) has good inexpensive games.

Actually, I see a lot of dime games ($10) at the Wynn.
On Boulder Highway, The Longhorn (a REAL dive) right by Sam's Town and Cannery-East has many tables of $2 BJ.

One Dollar Blackjack Vegas
Also on Boulder Highway further down, Joker's Wild: $3 everything, and $2 Three-card poker. Gotta love it.
Dollar Blackjack Vegas
Fiesta Henderson has $3 BJ (a continuous shuffler), $5 commission-free Pai Gow poker ('The Excellent Game') as well as:
$3 craps with 10x odds - with 3:1 on the Field, AND put bets, and 31-for-1, 16-for-1 prop bets - AND automatic buys on the 4 and 10 at $10 and above;
Talk about a great value crap game. One dealer there is particularly friendly and engaging, but will vent about you shot-takers elsewhere..
Club Fortune also has value games, where Nick should be working, but is way down in Henderson on I-515/95.
