Bellagio
SOME FACTS CONFIRMED ON SITE 2026-08-06
The Bellagio is one of the centerpiece properties of the Vegas strip and that prestige tends to bring in bigger games. The room is well run, professional, and nicely appointed. It's also the only place to find limit holdem games bigger than $4/8 and a frequent host to larger mixed games. $5/10 no-limit holdem runs frequently and larger games are not uncommon.
Parking is $25 unless you have an upgraded tier status, and the poker room is not able to comp your parking, as is the case at all MGM owned rooms in the city. The rake is $6+0, so higher on the house side than a few rooms, but there is no promo drop. This means no high hand promotions or bad beat jackpots, but it also saves you two or three dollars on every pot you win, which is much better if you wouldn't be maximizing your value on the promos anyway.
The room is not smoky, though there is smoking fairly nearby. There is tableside food service on a limited menu, but the food quality is quite good and service is generally excellent unless the room is very busy. Staff are very good, with quality dealers and friendly floors. The property itself is also beautiful.
The Bellagio is on the bravo system, which is not as convenient as PokerAtlas but you can get on the lists ahead of time by calling the room directly.
