bellagio poker rate went up?

[shu4040]

"lso, none of the poker rooms in Vegas guarantee their poker rates. For example, when a big convention is in town, or it's a big holiday weekend"

--- Is this a fact?? I have booked a room for two nights at the bellagio about a month ago at 199/night, could they really not honor this as long as i make the playing time?

I think once you book it you are fine.

FWIW. I just called and was quoted the old rate of 129/199 over the phone for the beginning of March.

There was a TR on here a couple of weeks ago, a part of which was the Bellagio not honouring the poker rate.

Not sure how common this is though ?

If you were willing to pay the $199 for Bellagio and can get a room at the Wynn for the same amount, I would get the room at the Wynn. I have stayed in standard rooms at both places, and much prefer the Wynn.

So would I, but I would much rather play at the Bellagio's room.

Also, once you've stayed at the Bellagio under the poker rate once, you're in for life. There's no strict playing requirements for your later visits - you're on the honor system to put a decent amount of hours in there, but they're not tracking you. This is not the case at the Mirage and I got the impression that it's not the case at Wynn, either.

Last time I stayed at the Wynn (my second time), they gave me the poker rate even though I didn't play the required number of hours. They also gave me a full coffee shop comp even though I didn't earn it.

I actually prefer the Wynn to Bellagio, but the mid-limit games at Bellagio are so much better.

ended up finding a sick deal at hotels.com for sahara. it's going to almost exclusively be a card-playing trip, so I don't mind the shithole/inconvenience factor. just thought I'd get confirmation and give the board a headsup

Sahara is a bit of a dump but not all that inconvenient. They have a monorail stop and if you have a car they have a valet in back off Paradise that works great for heading down the strip. Just use Paradise for going south and avoid all the strip traffic. Sahara also has a Poker rate and last time I stayed there they didn't track my play at all.

Plus, you'll get the enjoy the low cost hooker buffet on your walk back to your room. Last trip, I got propositioned at least twice and each trip from the PR to my room.

In my experience, the Wynn hasn't been holding folks to playing their hours. Frankly- I'm not even sure they've got a system in place to do so.

Well I guess the woman on the phone was just talking tough, then. Maybe I'll have to go get rated at the Wynn next time.
