Yep. 3-2 payouts when we were on Diamond.

Thank you, it seems like the last time I was in Vegas they were switching it to something else (8/6??).

1bigballer, many land-based casinos (not just in Vegas) have started to offer blackjack with 6-to-5 payouts for a dealt bj (versus the normal 3-to-2 payout). As far as I can tell, this is only done on tables that deal single-deck bj. It's the casino's way of offsetting the potential edge that a good player can take advantage of with a single deck. Unfortunately, as you might expect, the reduced payout more than offsets that potential edge. I myself boycott any table that offers the 6-to-5 payout. Fortunately, I have yet to see it on a cruise ship.
