Recap of Vegas trip with some FYI and updates

Figure i would pass on some info that I would like to know since every trip out there is a different experience.

I stayed at the Bellagio.  Room was great, especially the bathroom and view of the strip, but no flat screen tv just pisses me off in this day and age.  Update your tvs for christ sake, no one wants to sit in their room in vegas but i would like some flat screen hd, i have 5 in my house, what are your waiting for?

Remember to get your card rated each time you sit down at a table.  I had one friend who played poker 10 hours a day and didnt know if he simply asked for a card to get rated he would have been compd nicely.  Check in, then ask for a players card, no matter where you stay.  It could be worth free dinners, free buffet, free nights.

I love the fact that drinks in the bellagio are 7-14 dollars but you sit in the sports book and drinks are free by the dozens.  Pre-drink in the sportsbook, you dont need a ticket, tip the waitress big off your first drink and she wont leave you alone.  10 of us ran up what would have been a bill of 600+ in about an hour there getting champagne and everything else.  Its the best way to go, especially with the fellas.

I had the best ravioli, sliders, and steak at the bellagio in my life.  Sure its 25 for sliders or 45 for the steak, but its worth every penny.  Eat breakfeast at the buffet for 14.95, lunch at snacks if you need to (avg price 9), and dinner at Fix (sliders), Olives(Ravioli and beatiful outside dining), and GET THE FILET at PRIME!  I love steak and this blows the Shulas, BOA, Ruths Chris, Capital Grille, Palm etc out of the water.  If there is a better steak which is hard to believe, I havent had it yet.  Its worth every penny.

 

Other Notes

There are plenty of escorts walking around Bellagio late night, easy to get and they looked great.

Bellagio craps odds suck.

Baccarat is a great bar to people watch.

Bellagio pool is for cougars and a lot of european men in speedos, unfortunately.  If your looking for younger girls, go to the pool parties.

Never had a reason to leave Bellagio besides for some beverages for the room at the CVS down the street.

 

 

 

Sounds like a fun trip. I have enjoyed the free drinks at Bellagio the last several visits. Just makes since if you like to get fucked up while betting the games.

I've only had the Buffet which is great as far as buffets go. Need to try the other restaurants mentioned. Sounds really good.

Thanks for the report.

Sounds like a Bellagio resort report, not a Vegas report.  I gotta venture out and hit lots of spots to feel like I've been to Vegas.  Bellagio is nice, but a Vegas trip needs more.

I agree, gotta get out and see the sights, visit some other casinos.

Good read though...only been to Vegas this past summer, hoping to go in Jan or Feb.

I have been there enough times where it comes a point where it is completely unnecessary to walk around town to see the other resorts for the umpteenth time.  Besides, this time around i got married at the bellagio.  I didnt want to put Bellagio hotel name in the title because they dont pay me for free advertising.  Next time i will be sure to specify my title better and give you the whole city roundup.
