speed and quality of the cocktail waitresses

I dont drink when my money is on the table, but the Orange Julius at the Wynn *was* shockingly superior...

comfort in the poker room

The Wynn is a nicer room, yes. A wonderful atmosphere to grind it out in. Personally I prefer the noisier, polluted, and marginally less "comfortable" room at the Bellagio, because I prefer to make money when I play poker. Color me romantic I guess.

the ability to get on the waiting list with a call from your room

Yeah that walk to the elevator is brutal this time of year.

and attitude of the floorpeople.

The brush at the Wynn lied to my face about spreading a PLO game for me, which was the only reason I agreed to stay there at all. 6 people on the list for PLO but they didnt want to open a table? NH Wynn. Strike a blow for customer service.

But other than those little things...

My thoughts exactly, minus the sarcasm.

The nice thing about Bellagio poker rate is that if you stay on a poker rate once and get your 6 hours/night, on all subsequent stays they don't track your play anymore.

I've heard that rumor before, but when I showed up the second time, they gave me a card and told me to play 6 hours a day.

Well, I just got back from Vegas, and stayed at the Tropicana. I was able to get my room for around 50/night for Sun-Thurs, and only 180 for fri/sat.

Honestly, what do you need the room for besides sleeping? It had a good central location (right across from MGM) and the rooms aren't crappy for an old hotel.

A lot of strip hotels have nice poker rates, mostly Mon-Thurs, and trust me there is enough action there during the week. It's just a matter of waiting for the right game, and sometimes in Vegas, it's just a matter of knowing where to look!

Well, their policy is pretty straightforward. Make sure that you specify that you've stayed on poker rate before when you make a reservation. If they try to give you a card anyway I'm sure you can convince them that's not needed. I've stayed there on poker rate 3 times and they only tracked me the first time.
