Preface:
Being one of the most fashionable casino rooms has made the Bellagio devote more than just lavish decorations to its indoor settings. The poker craze is carefully catered to at the Bellagio and this article will look closely in order to examine which poker player will find their poker room suitable.

Poker can be played at three venues: the regular poker room for regular poker games, Bobbys poker room for high stake gaming and at Club Prive which means playing poker in one of the private card rooms that are for hire. Each of these are located in the Bellagio casino on the Las Vegas Strip, and it spreads over more than seven thousand square feet. Each of the above have over forty tables and a large variety of games including limit and no limit Texas Holdem, Omaha stud and seven card stud.

Pros:
1) If you like watching the World Poker Tour on television, you can watch the live games here. Check the WPT schedule, and just walse in.

2) No one (not even the high stake pros) is allowed to smoke in any of the casino halls. This means that your poker gaming environment is smoke free.

3) The Bellagio caters to all poker tastes. It offers game tables where one can play different variations of poker as well as different pot limitations and wagering regulations. A big plus is the daily no limit games that they run.

4) The Bellagio bar serve high-priced alcohol and cocktails and do not charge for these drinks. In addition, you can keep your valuables and money in special safes that they give you.

5) Three different tournaments take place at the Bellagio. The first is as I stated above: the No Limit Holdem countdown. But there are two more highly popular tournaments. From Sundays to Thursdays, the buy in amounts to fifty dollars as well as a starting sum of five hundred and if you prefer the weekend, then the sum multiplies by two into a thousand dollars and an eighty dollar buy in.

Disadvantages:
1) The poker rooms at the Bellagio is over crowded. When you want to play, you will have to wait for so long just to get a seat that its sometimes simply not worth it. If you are in a rush and do not have the patience to wait, this is not the poker room for you.

2) Mainly because of the reputation that the Bellagio has gained through the years, and also because many poker pros prefer this poker room to others in Vegas, winning at this location is tougher than any other poker playing room in Vegas.

3) Because the Bellagio serves the finest booze and because their bartenders have the ability to whip up cocktails that will make you ask for more, this is not a very ideal place to bet money at.

4) If you play at one of the high stake rooms such as Bobbys Poker rooms, you will be competing against world professionals and not just local self-named experts.

Closure:
Playing poker or one of its varied variations such as Omaha stud and Texas Holdem can be tremendous fun provided you pick the suitable poker room for your level of skill and need. If you are a beginner and you play with pros, you will feel horrible, and likewise if you are a professional, you would not want to compete against beginners. The poker rooms offered by Bellagio cater more to the professional and skilled poker players, so unless you belong to that playing class, pick another Las Vegas poker room.
