| - I really wanted this place to be awesome. I really did. It has every ingredient of an awesome poker room: 5 star resort, plenty of tables, and the endorsement of the world's best poker player, Phil Ivey. The thing is, its just not that cool. I don't like the location in the casino itself, its kind of in an awkward, dull corner, that is very unimpressive. They also didn't have as many games running as I had anticipated.
It just seems that everyone was expecting big action to move from Bellagio to Aria once they built a room in honor of Phil, but it just didn't happen. I guess the pros came and sniffed the same thing I did: the musk of mediocrity the surrounds this room.
That being said there is also nothing wrong with this room. BUT its just not as good as some of the others in Vegas. If you are looking to play 1/2 I would suggest playing at the Mirage (seriously you'd be surpsised). If you are looking to play 2/5, here is fine, Venetian is about the same, and Bellagio is just a tad better. Anything above 2/5 Bellagio is gonna be way more accommodating.
