My first visit to Bellagio was entertaining. Let me detail why - it is far less formal than other casinos I have seen in Goa, Macau, Sands Singapore and US. There is an air of friendliness. I have always noticed that staff in casinos is very uninspired, tired by the air of people betting themselves to death. That's the notice case with staff at Bellagio. They smile at you once in a while. Food and drinks of select brands are on the house. On the gaming action per se, the most popular game is bacarrat followed by three card poker and roulette. I was disappointed that on a Saturday night there was only one Texas holdem table going on. Before I forget, entry is free and if you are a member, they would arrange pickup and drop from your hotel. Lastly, you can smoke anywhere you like so non smokers may have some issue with that.
