The $2 9/6 JB at both the Venetian and Palazzo have been shorted to 8/5. I have played the machines in Palazzo and Venetian, both, in the past, so I am familiar with the machines. In the past there were occasions that the pay scales were changed temporarily during sweepstakes promotions. There was no "sweepstakes" promotion going on during my stay.
I also did a fair amount of scouting looking for $5 9/6 in both casinos. I could not find one.
In short, I believe there are now NO 9/6 JB VP in any denomination at Palazzo or Venetian.
