Default The Big Game at Bellagio

I am going to Vegas pretty soon and was wondering when the "big boys" play a $2,000-$4,000 limit game. Not that I would sit at that table or anything, I just think it would be fun to watch.

It is usually later at night- 10 pm or so was the earliest I saw it going. Didn't see it going on Sunday or Monday nights either, but YMMV. Small sample size and all that.

You wont be able to watch. Unless you're playing in it, you're not getting anywhere near it.

You can see the players in the fish tank, thats about it. I think if you stood there and stared, everyone might think there is something wrong with you.

I was there in June playing, and as another just pointed out - you cannot get close. There was a guy watching and within a minute, a security guard/usher came and told him he cannot stand there. Ivey was in and out, w/ an amazing stack of chips.

If they want it to be private I wonder why they are in a glass-enclosed room. When I saw it last time I was there it reminded me of just what you called it -- a fish tank. Why not give them a more private area?

People will come play at the Bellagio just for the chance to say they saw so-and-so playing in the big game. It's marketing.

If you consider Farha a semi-big guy, he's playing the 100/200 No Limit quite a bit there (and it's usually on the ground floor by the cage). Usually sits with upwards of $40-50k. Not quitte as impressive as $4,000/$8,000 limit, but not something to scoff at.
