To GatorsDen (and others) ... re: Bellagio (poker)
Gatorsden writes ". Bellagio has best poker room". NOT. IT'S ONE OF THE WORST in 3 very important categories: A) Customer service is amongst the worst in Vegas! B) No comps for poker players C) tables are packed so close together it's damn uncomfortable. And as an avid poker player, it's well known amongst us locals that collusion occurs there with some regularity. NOT a place to play poker. The best poker action in Vegas for the past year, has been and continues to be at the Venetian. They KNOW what customer service means, it's spacious, and there's more games there at any hour of the day and night than any place in Vegas.
As to the ladies, agree with most of his post, but would add the Wynn, and likely Encore to places where Hi-end ladies will find you (unless you dress like a slob or weigh 300 lbs.).
