For your first visit to a Las Vegas casino: the minimum age, dress codes, and the minimum bet and blackjack payout to check before you sit down at a table.
You must be 21 or older to enter a casino in Las Vegas. Dress codes and table minimums differ by casino and by table, so before you sit down, read the table’s sign and felt for the minimum bet and the blackjack payout (3 to 2 or 6 to 5).
How old you need to be
You must be 21 or older to enter a casino in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas page of the World Casino Map gives the sources and the check date (2026-09-29). Rules can change, so look at the page’s check date before you go.
Dress code
Each casino sets its own dress code. Of the 64 casinos on the map, only 2 are confirmed so far.
- Circa Resort & Casino: no dress code
- The Venetian Resort: no beachwear
The other 62 are not confirmed (checked 2026-10-01). Check the page of the casino you plan to visit, and if it says nothing, look at the casino’s official guidance.
The table minimum and the blackjack payout
The minimum bet differs by casino and by table. The map has few minimum-bet values per casino so far, so this article does not list amounts. Before you sit down, check two things.
- The table sign: the minimum bet at that table
- The felt or the sign: the blackjack payout, BLACKJACK PAYS 3 TO 2 or 6 TO 5
If you’re unsure, ask the dealer before you sit down.
Under the same rules, a table that pays 6 to 5 has a house edge about 1.4% higher than one that pays 3 to 2 (0.41% to 1.77% at a 6-deck S17 table). The basic strategy chart does not change, so playing by the chart does not win it back. More in Blackjack 6 to 5 vs 3 to 2 payout, house edge and even money.
Flow and etiquette at the table
When to buy chips, when you can touch your bet and how to handle your cards are the same as at other casinos. They are covered in How to play casino table games for the first time, and what to know before you sit down.
