Until the Wynn took the crown of Most Expensively Retarded place on the strip, Bellagio had it down pat for a while.
It's still a pretty cool place. You can play video poker/blackjack literally at the bar and drink top shelf free the whole time. It helps if you tip your bartender at the onset, of course.
Poker here is some of the best in town, mostly because most of the players have deep pockets and little game. Watch out though, because if you hit no limit or high limit, you may have pros at the tables. Why are the pros supposed to be there? I think I just explained why.
The pool is supposed to be nice here if you're looking for bored trophy housewives and trust fundies.
The buffet here is the locals' choice on weekends and everyone and their mom (literally) turns out for it. Get there early if you don't want to wait in line for an hour. Naturally if you are staying in the hotel, you get to skip to the front.
