Bellagio, Venetian, or Wynn

[FlyinJ]

Sounds like the Wynn but how is it getting around from the Wynn? I've only been to Vegas once and didn't make it over there. It seemed like it was at the very end of the strip. I would like to be able to get around without getting a cab everytime I leave the hotel. How far is it to the B and V from the Wynn?

Venetian is not far from Wynn. 15 minute walk and only because you have to cross over to the terminally dumb pirate show in front of TI and then cross back. If they ever finish construction at Venetian, it will be a five minute walk from Wynn to Venetian. Bellagio is a hike and probably about a mile. I'd guess 25 minutes from Wynn to Bellagio, but I'm not positive because I always get side tracked by BJ switch and $3 craps at Casino Royale. Anyway, I've stayed at TI a few times before, and I had no issue walking from there to Bellagio multiple times. And its not like I'm a fitness poster child either.

Wynn to Bellagio is walkable in 30 minutes, but I spend the 7 or 8 bucks on a taxi rather than waste the time.

what do you tip the taxi drivers when you use then?

Played at Venetian & Wynn 2 wks ago. Only got to V at 10PM on a Sun night, but options were pathetic for mid-stakes limit. Two 4/8 tables, neither were full. Combined within 30 mins, and then the only open one broke after another hr. No 8/16 to be seen and floor told me it hardly ever ran anymore. Totally contradictory to what I had read on allvegaspoker.com the wk before I left.

Was obv not satisfied so took the hike to Wynn. No crossing over to TI and back necessary. You can walk in front of the construction site now...still took around 15 mins tho. Only one 15/30 game going at W, full table, 2nd on the WL. Got in after 10 mins...originally, a decent game. Many ANNOYING regulars, though, especially one loud-mouthed &*!@#$ who wouldn't shut-up. Both were threatened by the PB to shut-up or leave after we went at it when I had had enough, but that finally got him to calm down as a result. Anyway, down to 6 handed at around 2AM, I'm the only non-regular there. I play til 9AM. The same 6 for virtually the entire 6-handed session, with the exception of one donktastic spewtard, a supposed NL regular, who decided it would be fun to blind-raise or straddle PF EVERY SINGLE HAND, regardless of position, for around 4 orbits (not an exaggeration). A limp re-raise was done on him too many times to remember. He dropped 2K in < 90 mins.

Anyway, grinded away a 14BB win and finally decided to leave realizing I had a 5 hr drive ahead of me and had yet to sleep/checkout. Last hand...put a river beat on the loudmouth and headed out after taking a leak. Figured it would be aard to beeat that feeling.

Cliff Notes: V sucked for me, W was OK but full of locals, and I had the most fun donking around at 4/8 at Caesar's and (gasp) Rio (where I stayed). I cannot stand Bellagio. Mirage has always been OK, and is where I'll probably target next (along w/ the regulars at W, if I'm so lucky).

im sure if you were at the wynn on a friday night it would have been different

Stayed at the Wynn Sept. 6-10th. Rooms are awesome, bed is the most comfortable thing I have ever laid on. Poker room lists were still displayed on in room TV (channel 29 IIRC).

Poker room was nice. I have played in all three, and I definitely prefer Wynn, Venetian, and Bellagio in that order, with Wynn/Venetian close- Venetian is definitely more slanted to NL (Wynn had a bunch of 4/8 games, an 8/16, and at least 1 other limit game). The massage chicks at Wynn were smokin'.

Transportation from the Wynn- you can cab it, hike to Venetian, or take the free shuttle that runs 8-8 from the Wynn to the Convention Center that drops you off at the foot of the Monorail. Get 10 rides for $40 (shareable), and you can make your way up and down the strip pretty cheaply. If you need to catch it after the shuttle quits running, you can jump on/off at the IP/Harrah's stop.

The coffee shop/pastry shop/drugstore food at Wynn is decent, but grossly overpriced. Heard good things about Crackers. Red 8 was ok, but a little expensive for the quality of food. The buffet was a disappointment compared to my last visit (good thing it was comped).

Keep an eye out for the [censored] who found/stole my cellphone and punch him in the [censored] for me kthx.
