Gambling: For table games, poker and everything under the sun gambling related, the true high stakes player heads to the Bellagio Casino for 24/7 action and stakes up to $375,000/Hand, yes $375,000 a hand. All this high stakes action takes place in the coveted high rollers room in the Bellagio where comps and women run just as wild as the monsterous bets hitting the tables. Expect anything your heart desires by playing in this room from free suites to cars, meals and more. If you prefer poker, head to Bobby’s Room in the Bellagio Poker Room where famous pros such as Doyle Brunson and Gus Hansen battle it out for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Any way you slice it, the Bellagio is the best spot to gamble like a baller while you are in Vegas.
Accommodations: Las Vegas has some of the nicest and most expensive hotel suites in the entire world. With so many options, it’s hard to find the right one for the perfect balling time so we have assembled a list of some of our favourite places to stay while in Vegas:
For luxury and gambling in one, check out the Villa One suite at the Bellagio. At a respectable $6,000/Night the suite boasts 2 bedrooms, private entrance tunnel, gym, sauna, steam bath and a private third floor garden.
