best (and worst) dealers in las vegas

[sublime]

my nominations:

best:

joe at bellagio (asian kid with spikey hair)

unreal fast dealing hands, always has action correct, despite dealing at laser speeds the cards usually end up right where you want them. he collects time like no other. just an amazing dealer.

clarkmonster would nominate some kid names justin(?) at the mirage. i do recall having a great dealer when i last played there (2 years ago) perhaps it was him.

worst:

abe at bellagio. unreal slow at just about everything he does and is always engaged in conversations with players (which i despise).

Lance at Venetain and Jimmy at the Orleans can get a lot of hands out per hour. They can really keep a game moving and are always in control of the game.



David at Red Rock (who used to deal at Monte Carlo for years) is GREAT! So is Gina (Red Rock also) who used to deal at MGM and Texas Station before that.


As far as worst.....

They had some of the slowest dealers I've ever seen at the Golden Nugget a week or so back (and I play at some off the wall places, Joker's Wild, Speedway, etc.).
The floor was real nice (at the Nugget) but the dealers that night were pretty bad IMHO. YMMV.



Happy Pokering,

Howard

Is this the guy I dubbed "Abe the Game Killer" at the MGM Grand when it first opened in the mid-90's? A small guy, always scowling, always chewing out the tourists for not paying attention, or acting out of turn. Runs the game like a strict headmaster, demanding that everyone pay attention to the game, and that no one disrupt the proceedings by--gulp--having fun.

I'd be in the loosest, wildest LLHE games imaginable, then Abe would push in. 30 minutes later, I'm sitting in a rock garden. Nobody wants to play a hand, because every time they do, the dealer finds fault with them, with lots of scowling and disapproval. This guy would simply suck the life out of a good game.

If it's not the same guy, I apologize to the Abe that you mention.

My Abe was the only dealer I ever stiffed. I would set aside any tokes that I would've given, and let them pile up, and use this money to reward the next dealer to sit down, for getting Abe out of my game.

i like leslie at the bellagio. agree that joe is great. sky scares me a bit. almost too intense, like his dad made him do pushups as a kid or something.

Has anybody noticed that many of the dealers at the bellagio are really pissy lately? Very quick to take offense from players. I was never the target of them, but saw 3 or 4 instances in three days of play where they just overreacted with players.

[/ QUOTE ]i agree, abe is horrible. i cant stand him, he talks wayyy too much, even while involved in a hand, and his breathe stinks.

joe is probably the best like you said sublime, honorable mention to sky
