bellagio poker rate went up?

[jba]

I just called the poker room, she quoted me 149/weekdays and 219/weekends, and "sometimes higher". anybody else know about this?

Yes it did go up. My brother just booked for us and said it went up and the amounts you quoted sound about right iirc.

Another reason to eff the Bellagio and [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the Wynn.

I reserved a room for the nights of Friday, March 10 and Sat, March 11. Friday is $219, but Saturday is $279.

The Bellagio rate was raised a few weeks ago (if not before). Also, 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, I wouldn't expect any of the major hotels to honor their standard poker rates.

that I always assumed, just didn't think the raised default rate was common knowledge

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.

All the casinos are expensive that weekend. NASCAR is in town.

One problem the poker rooms have is the CHARGE BACK they get hit with--- if they give you a rate of $150 but the rooms that day sre going for $350 --- the poker room gets hit with the $150.00 extra --it hurts their bottom line for the room---

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.
