According to the pros and semi-pros on Skip Hughes's mailing list, the two best plays at the Venetian are 9/6 (with cashback, 100.06%!), and pick-em (100.4%). This still isn't up to the deuces wild found at the Frontier or Barbary, or the 10/7 double bonus found in many places, but these are probably the best plays at any of the new mega-resorts.

Dave: Check out JMTs trip report and read about the Venetian employee who tried to snow JMT about their 9/6 machines. What a joke.
