So I'm not a poker player but the boyfriend is so I'm always tagging along. I've been in Poker rooms all over the country and the Bellagio definitely ranks up there in class and style. Although smaller than some of its competitors at 40 tables, the room is always packed and has a variety of games. The buy-ins are significantly less than the Venetian -- $500 max for 2/5 NL and $400 min/$1500 max for 5/10 NL but there's plenty of action and if it's not enough, you can usually find several high stakes games going on. There's usually a celebrity or two in the room and if you're lucky you can catch a glimpse of the pros playing in Bobby's Room.
They offer Orange Julius smoothies (orange, strawberry, and pineapple) topped with whipped cream and a giant piece of fruit (so delish!) in addition to the standard mixed drinks, red bull, and coffee. Some of the waitresses are a bit old -- grandma status even, probably thanks to the Union, but what they lack in youth and boobs they make up for in experience and customer service.
The wait list can get pretty long on the weekends but well worth it to play in one of the most noted poker rooms in the world!
