Bellagio/Mirage mid-limit games

I'm off to Vegas soon and have never played in any mid-limit games there. How do the Bellagio 8-16, 15-30 and Mirage 10-20, 20-40 games compare? What are the best times times to play on a weekend -- early evenings or late night/early morning? (Am I going to amazed at mid-limit tightness after playing all these hours in CA??)


Also, does Bellagio comp for their buffet?


Thanks!
