Catch a wave is a growing in popularity in some places. Its a game where you guess if your next card is going to be higher or lower and you have to guess more correct cards than the dealer to win. If you guess 6 you automatically get paid 6 to 1. It is somewhat like blackjack because the dealer has rules of when they will hit and stand based on their card showing and you can use strategy to decide when to stop or keep going.
Are there any casinos in Vegas that offer it?

Catch a Wave was only at Foxwoods in Connecticut. It has since been replaced by Card Sharks, which works pretty much the same way as Catch a Wave and the TV show namesake. The only casino in Vegas to offer it is the MGM Grand, but I don't know if they still have it there.

They have this game at Foxwoods in CT where I live but I have never seen it in Vegas at all. It is based on the TV game show "Card Sharks" from the 80's. It is a fun game to play but tough to win. Some casinos out there have it but it is hard to find.

I live and work in Vegas and i have not seen this game as of yet. I deal poker and we used to have a table called flop a lock, it was a regular 2-4 limit cash game, but you could bet up to 5 dollars on what the flop would be, so if the first 3 cards were all clubs then you get paid out, as well as straights, straight flushes. But a lot of players just wanted to play poker so they took it out.

Have never heard of or seen this game in Vegas or Atlantic City casinos, or any other casino for that matter.
