Bellagio Report

[Boris]

Played at the Bellagio over the weekend. They were extremely busy because of a tournament so I'll cut them a little slack, but you have to watch the dealers very, very closely. In any event, the games were very good. The top section was overflowing. Mostly played the 80-160 and some 30-60 hold'em. The 30-60 is a good deal compared to California because they only charge $6/half hour. From what I saw, you would have an easier time beating the 30-60 game at the Bellagio than at the Commerce. But keep in mind that my observation is based a very small sample size. The 80-160 was very good for about the half time I played with 2 games going most of the time.

I also played in the $1500 buy-in no limit event on Sunday. I played one satellite and chopped for a seat. Talk about a waste of my money. I'm not going to discuss how I busted out of the tournament.

I found no truth to the stereotype of the Nevada games being filled with rocks.
