Poker Room: The Best of Bellagio

Introduction:
The poker room in the hotel Bellagio is lavishly designed, but that is not what I have examined. In the following article, you will be able to read about the different poker games and tournaments offered as well as the poker tables, odds and gaming pros and cons.

Poker can be played at three venues: the regular poker room for regular poker games, Bobbys poker room for high stake gaming and at Club Prive which means playing poker in one of the private card rooms that are for hire. Each of these are located in the Bellagio casino on the Las Vegas Strip, and it spreads over more than seven thousand square feet. Each of the above have over forty tables and a large variety of games including limit and no limit Texas Holdem, Omaha stud and seven card stud.

Pros:
1) If you like watching the World Poker Tour on television, you can watch the live games here. Check the WPT schedule, and just walse in.

2) Your health is highly taken care of all through the gaming area because the Bellagio does not allow anybody to light a cigarette or a cigar or anything of the kind and smoke it indoors.

3) The Bellagio caters to all poker tastes. It offers game tables where one can play different variations of poker as well as different pot limitations and wagering regulations. A big plus is the daily no limit games that they run.

4) The Bellagio bar serve high-priced alcohol and cocktails and do not charge for these drinks. In addition, you can keep your valuables and money in special safes that they give you.

5) Three different tournaments take place at the Bellagio. The first is as I stated above: the No Limit Holdem countdown. But there are two more highly popular tournaments. From Sundays to Thursdays, the buy in amounts to fifty dollars as well as a starting sum of five hundred and if you prefer the weekend, then the sum multiplies by two into a thousand dollars and an eighty dollar buy in.

Cons:
1) Because the poker room at Bellagio is highly esteemed and brings in many enthusiasts, you will have to wait for quite some time until a chair opens up. If you are in Vegas during the weekend, the waiting might stretch up to an hour or more.

2) Pros and highly skilled players like the Bellagio and frequent this poker room. This means that if you are a beginner or even a moderately skilled player, you will find it very difficult to win.

3) The alcohol and cocktails served are superb, and this might tempt you to drink just a sip more here and there. This is enough to tilt the odds more towards the casino.

4) Though the temptation to play against poker celebrities and experienced players is high, taking part in such games is detrimental to your enjoying pleasure. Unfortunately, the Bellagio is packed with such players.

Conclusion:
If you consider yourself a professional or at least have respectable skills at playing this card game, then the poker room at Bellagio is the one to pick if you are in Vegas. But, if you are relatively new to the game, stay away from the Bellagio and choose another Las Vegas poker room unless you want to lose all your money and fast.
