Upon walking in to the poker room at the Bellagio you can tell that price was no factor when designing one of the nicest poker rooms I have ever seen, and in this beautiful poker room they you can pick and choose from many different poker games and tournaments as well as the odds for the different games and the good and the bad side of each game.



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) Drinks are served to players for no cost and they also give you safety deposit boxes in which you can keep your valuables.

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.

Disadvantages:

1) The poker rooms at the Bellagio is over crowded. When you want to play, you will have to wait for so long just to get a seat that its sometimes simply not worth it. If you are in a rush and do not have the patience to wait, this is not the poker room for you.

2) Mainly because of the reputation that the Bellagio has gained through the years, and also because many poker pros prefer this poker room to others in Vegas, winning at this location is tougher than any other poker playing room in Vegas.

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.

Closure:

Playing poker or one of its varied variations such as Omaha stud and can be tremendous fun provided you pick the suitable poker room for your level of skill and need. If you are a beginner and you play with pros, you will feel horrible, and likewise if you are a professional, you would not want to compete against beginners. The poker rooms offered by Bellagio cater more to the professional and skilled poker players, so unless you belong to that playing class, pick another Las Vegas poker room.
