Default Re: New Bellagio Poker Room Opens Wednesday Night (4/27)

When I was at the Bellagio a couple of weeks ago I heard a rumor that I found pretty believable. Supposedly one of the major reasons for the renovation was to improve the security of the high stakes tables. And the reason they wanted to improve the security was that someone got robbed.

Apparently what happened was, one of the high stakes players got up and left his stack of chips (4k+) on the table. A thief came by, grabbed the chips and ran out a side door before anyone could stop him. The thief got away, and the player was out the money, since the Bellagio doesn't guarantee the safety of chips on the table.

If it's true, it makes sense the Bellagio would want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
