This is before COVID but last I was there, mins for craps vary wildly depending on the day and time. Nights at the casinos, the low min tables are $15 on M-W, and $25 Th - Sat. Sunday depends on the NFL so I'd expect $25 as well and be pleasantly surprised if its lower. If you want to play craps with low minimums, you're looking for lower name brands on the strip in the mornings. I was able to play craps at the Luxor and NYNY with a $5 min. Minimums went up around 4 PM.
If you want to play blackjack for $10 a hand, that can be found almost every day and time except Friday and Saturday where the lowest I ever saw was $25. To get to $5 a hand, you're looking for the same morning shifts as the craps tables.
I don't play paigow so I have no idea on minimums there. I'm familiar with the game so I'd assume it would be the same as blackjack minimums.
Honestly, if you want to play low minimums, your best options are downtown or an off strip casino like Sam's Town. I'd rather play low minimums and see if I can build a stake with the house's money. I usually walk away from the craps table with more than I came with provided I leave when my self imposed time limit expires (last point played is 30 minutes after I start).
Considering the crazy report I got from a friend who went there last month, these minimums might be higher. He said there's a ton of crazy tech money floating around the casinos. He told me a story of younger Tech-Bro's dropping large rolls of $100s at the craps tables and taking "20 minutes" to change in. I'm not sure about "20 minutes" but at a hot table, 5 minutes takes forever.
Checking the NFL and NHL schedules, unless you are there on Boxing Day, there are no games in town that week. Christmas is usually a quiet time for Vegas that allows them to get ready for NYE. It's actually my favorite time to visit since its festive but not swamped with too many crazy people (they show up for NYE).
