The house always has the advantage -- card counting just makes it closer to a 50% shot for those who are good at it. Even then, the house retains an advantage. Even very basic, unskilled 'card counting' (keeping more-or-less track of face cards and 10s when not using a multi-deck machine for blackjack) can give you an edge, but the casino still has the odds on their side. Banning card-counters is unfair, to my mind -- the casinos are greedy crybabies, in that respect. And I say that as one who's trained as a dealer and worked in the industry here in Vegas.
Vegas wouldn't exist, and the power bills wouldn't get paid, if the house didn't always win in the end. Don't ever come to a casino expecting to do anything but lose your money -- if that turns you on, and you have fun doing it, fine. Just be careful.
