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

[Dynasty]

A manager in the Bellagio poker room told me the new room will open on Wednesday night- just in time to compete with Wynn which is opening on Thursday.

You can actually peek through the curtains and check out the new room. The best word I can find to describe the the new room is underwhelming.

They spend months doing renovations and the room doesn't seem all that different. The carpeting is new and there's a few new design features. But, it's basically the same with about 7 extra tables.

The only significant new feature is what appears to be a second high-limit room in the back left (walking in from the same main entrance).

Unfathomably, the Bellagio is still going to be using clipboards to maintain their waiting lists. I couldn't believe the manager when she told me they aren't even planning to computerize this.

Right now, it seems to me the Bellagio spent months renovating the room and nothing significant came out of it.
