Mirage or Bellagio??
 

I usually like to stay where the tourney is, and I'm planning to play some events at the Bellagio Five Diamond in December.

The thing is, the Mirage seems so much more user friendly. Quick eats, easier access, and almost as many fishy cash games should I want to dive in.

Thoughts?

What limits do you play?

I'm mostly heading down for the tourney. Otherwise I'd play 20/40, 30/60 and NL.

Re: Mirage or Bellagio??
 

Bellagio 30-60 has great action. So does Mirage 20-40. I've never played NL at either place. I say play mostly Bellagio but check out Mirage too if you have time.

The question isnt really where to play, rather where to stay.

Also, are credit lines transferable between the hotels?

If the quality of the actual hotel room is a factor, Bellagio blows Mirage away. I have stayed at Hilton's with nicer rooms than Mirage's. Bellagio hotel rooms are among the best on the strip.

Overall Bellagio has way better eats too, but the CPK next to Mirage's poker room is tasty.

I don't know about credit lines, I imagine they are independant. But if you deposit money in your player's account they can wire it to each other. The only problem is that they
need to wire the whole amount in your account. They will however exchange chips (up to $5k flags). For the smaller chips I think you can do directly at the poker room, for the larger ones the floor might have to run them to the main cage - don't remember.

Good luck in the tourney !

I like mirage better because it seems like a more laid back room. at the bellagio it seems like people are always running around and everyone is in a hurry.

Re: Mirage or Bellagio??
 

Bellagio, and it isn't that close in my opinion.

This goes for staying somewhere as well as playing there.

The Mirage $20/40 sucks mid-week, if it's even going at all. Multiple $30/60's are always going at Bellagio.

Ok, its really coming down to that awesome deli and the CPK- does the Bellagio have casual "dining" like this where I can go by myself for 30 min when i strect my legs from the table?

Not really. This is the my one complaint about the bellagio. They have the cafe or whatever but thats about it I think. And even that is fairly pricey. But still, the bellagio pwns for the reasons meteron stated.

Not precisely but if you have a certain line of credit at any of the properties in their group it only takes a few minutes for an approval at another casino at the same (or lower) credit limit.

I have a LOC at the MGM but needed some cash while at the Mirage and it was approved while I waited.

Five Diamond- early events Dec 2 and 3 i think.

There's Snacks which is opposite Light from the poker room. Pretty decent food despite its lackluster name and appearance. It is the Bellagio after all.

yeah, i forgot about taht place, probably because I dont think im ever awake while its open.

Re: Mirage or Bellagio??
 

At your limit Bellagio is infinitely better. The 10/20 game at Mirage is tougher in my opinion during the week then the 15/30 at Bellagio or Wynn.

Re: Mirage or Bellagio??
 

the clam chowder was good.

Re: Mirage or Bellagio??
 

Noodles is pretty casual too, and the food is awesome.
