Black Jack is a simple game that the player actually has an edge to win. It is a game of skill .. playing the odds. Practice the basics of the game over and over. When you get to Vegas, play the black jack video machines to prepare you. Use the live game instructors at most of the casinos on the strip. They are usually held in the morning hours when the crowds are low.

splitting cards.. if you get a pair of something, then you can split them. You put out an extra bet of the same amount since you are choosing to have another hand by splitting. Once they are split, you play them as seperate hands. If you split aces, you get just 1 card.
(at least where I worked.)
Play at a free game site like pogo.com .. maybe yahoo or msn games has it too. But realize you'll win more often than normal in a free online game.
They won't let you be the dealer.. you're the player in the free games ive seen.
If you go to a casino, you can ask if they give away the free card that tells you what to do in each situation.. when to hit and when to stay. Many casinos give them out free.

Great website for learning strategy from simple tables: http://www.hitorstand.net/strategy.php

Basic Blackjack Rules:

The goal of blackjack is to beat the dealer's hand without going over 21.
Face cards are worth 10. Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever makes a better hand.
Each player starts with two cards, one of the dealer's cards is hidden until the end.
To 'Hit' is to ask for another card. To 'Stand' is to hold your total and end your turn.
If you go over 21 you bust, and the dealer wins regardless of the dealer's hand.
If you are dealt 21 from the start (Ace & 10), you got a blackjack.
Blackjack usually means you win 1.5 the amount of your bet. Depends on the casino.
Dealer will hit until his/her cards total 17 or higher.
Doubling is like a hit, only the bet is doubled and you only get one more card.
Split can be done when you have two of the same card – the pair is split into two hands.
Splitting also doubles the bet, because each new hand is worth the original bet.
You can only double/split on the first move, or first move of a hand created by a split.
You cannot play on two aces after they are split.
You can double on a hand resulting from a split, tripling or quadrupling you bet.

Good luck!

Here are some good tips:

Always double down on an 11. Only double down on a 10 if the dealer's face-up card is somewhere between a deuce and an eight; Aces, nines, and tens are dangerous.

Never split any fives or tens (including 10-point cards). You already have a ten with the first scenario, and a 20 is one of the strongest hands of all.

Always split Aces. Even though you receive only one card to each new hand, the potential for Blackjack is always there.

Always split eights unless the dealer's face-down card is a deuce to a five. A dealer has to take another card on a 16.

If the table requires the dealer to hit a soft hand (ace as 11), skip it. Good casinos require dealers to stop whenever they have an ace and at least a six, meaning they can't regard it as a one-point card. Bad casinos require dealers to continue until they have a hard hand (ace as one).

You might also consider looking for some Tom Ainslie books. My favorite is in this link:

Finding a place to learn blackjack online is easy. The hard part is learning to play it well enough to give yourself the advantage over the house at certain times. Bodoglife.com has a good blackjack program to learn on. You should also go to a place like blackjacktactics.com to learn the basic blackjack strategy as well as the basic hi/lo count system.

As for the Casino Host job, that's a bit more difficult. That is one of the most wanted jobs in Las Vegas. You can not just walk in a get a Casino Host job. Casino Hosts work there way up through the Casino, making contacts and friends as they go. It's all about customer service and making contacts and a lot of the job is spend developing new contacts out of the Casino when your players are not in it playing. The pay is incredible if you are good, but it generally takes years in the Casino first to make it there and there are very limited spots open to get. I would suggest dealing blackjack first to work your way up through dealer, pit boss, management, etc.

I also have played BJ many years with great success. I limit my sessions to no more than 2 hours, and limit my chip loss to $15 on any table. If I lose more than that I switch tables or casinos. My win rate is around 70%, you must keep a record of all your sessions. I've have been barred in 3 casinos. You must learn basic strategy and card counting. The key to winning, is how you accept losing sessions, like the hotshots on the movie 21 that thought they could not lose.
