The chairs were all replaced when they re-modeled the room a couple of years ago. Now that some time has passed, a few of them are getting a little creaky--but it's not any worse than any other room. I have to admit, the chairs in the Venetian are a bit nicer, but the ones at the Bellagio are fine.

Floor person for the high limit no limit area is often that asian cougar that can't speak English well. Why in God's name would you hire someone to call out names from a list when they can't speak/understand English well AT ALL.

That would be "Wan". In my experience, she's a sweetie. She always keeps an eye out for me, and makes sure my seat gets locked up. And btw, I'm not a "regular" at the B, since I live on the other side of the continent--but within a day or so of my being in town on a trip, she remembers who I am, has my name on the lists for the games I like even before I get to the podium, etc. And I'm not a huge tipper, btw. I'm a typical Sklansky-esque 2p2 nit. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The old man that takes names down in the front (low limit) area is a huge dousche. He gets mad at me if I ask any question about the list, switching tables, etc.. They all act like they are doing you a favor by doing their job.

That would be Dave Naif--you're right, he's a douche. 'nuff said. However, in my experience, he is the exception, not the rule--most of the floor people rate from better-than-average to exceptional. But I am glad that he's working the low limit area nowadays, so I don't have to interact with him at all (my wife does and can't stand him either, but that's another story...).

everyone - it wont matter in 1 1/2 years when the games are moved to City Center. Its not in MGM's best interest to make any changes at this point when they are already building the new poker room to marginalize Bellagio (just like they did with Mirage in the past). Think big picture...

I know that a separate-from-the-Bellagio, "high roller" type casino is in the works for City Center. But is this really anticipated (a big poker room, supplanting Bellagio)? You probably know more than I do...but I find it hard to believe that a poker room in a semi, sorta, kinda, exclusive gated community kind of place is really going to displace the one in a (for lack of a better term) "public" kind of casino, like Bellagio.

I was thinking of buying a place at City Center, but I passed. If you're right about the poker situation migrating there, I may be forced to reconsider that decision.
