IMO, The Bellagio is starting to show it’s age. It’s still pretty upscale and a magnificent piece of real estate but it’s never been the same since MGM took control. You can just tell they don’t maintain the facility with the type of attention to detail Steve Wynn used to give it. It’s an old hotel now in Vegas years, and this is coming from somebody that absolutely adored that place.
Haha, I don’t think she’s planning on quitting her job. At least it’s good for health insurance, right? Maybe I can get her after the 9-5 grind and on weekends so she can join me in the crazy 80+ hr work weeks.
Oh trust me, if you’re at the Expo you’ll see me. She’s looking forward to it plenty too. I hear there’s a ton of food, and we both certainly love to eat, haha. We’re getting there Sunday, tying the knot Monday, expo/shows/all vegas stuff tue-thu, whatever else she wants to do fri/sat.
That’s a good point about the high stakes at the high class casinos. I’m more of a poker player than a table game guy. Poker was my “job” for my two years at UMD: College Park. Same rules apply for stakes at the poker games as the do at the table games?NYFLPizza:

I think the Wynn is truly a masterpiece inside and out. I mean the whole place (including the rooms) are stunning and you won’t forget you’re at one of the premier hotels in the world. I have loved staying there but the gambling is out of my league. On a weekend you’ll be hard pressed to find a table with a minimum under $100 and there are a lot at $500. Maybe that’s changed in this economy; I haven’t been there in over a year. The restaurants, shopping, shows and clubs are insanely expensive. But of course there’s lots of other places on the strip to eat, shop and party.
If you’re deciding between those two my vote would be for the Wynn.

I’ve never played poker in a casino so I don’t know what the minimums are there, but I’d imagine they’re higher at Wynn than most other places. At a $100 blackjack table I’d be expected to lose between $90 and $120 per hour depending on play. No thanks! I’ll enjoy the room and resort and then go lose my money at a somewhat slower rate somewhere else
there speaks a man who’s never been married. Good luck on that one!! Good job you’ve got the health cover - you’ll need it in case she see this post!! :roll:
