Default Bellagio 5d Players kiss the fontana bar goodbye

I was walking through bellagio 2 days ago and noticed that a large bank of slot machines next to the poker room and sportsbook bar has been removed and replaced with approximately 25 poker tables. I can only assume this means that the bellagio has decided they no longer want to give up the fontana bar to poker players 3 months a year.

I for one really liked playing in there and hope there is some tradeoff to it.

It's not because the Bellagio doesn't want to give up the Fontana Bar, it's because the Fontana Bar is currently being used for baccarat until the Baccarat Bar pit is completed.

It could've been worse. Supposedly, Bellagio hire-ups wanted to stick the tourney over in the ballroom area. Which would've killed the tourney. The poker room had to fight to get the tables where they are.

Enjoy all the railbirds.

The Fontana Bar will be back when the Baccarat Bar pit is done... should be good to go for April.

And the spot for the tourney tables isn't bad at all, they're located right next to the poker room.
