Q: Barbecue Masters Tavern has closed

Q: Came here for family vacation, not my first time in Vegas. First try at checking in they told me I can't check in since the room was in my dad's name. I said my name was on it too, but was refused service. I told her I had two confirmation numbers, one for my dad's room and one for mine and the one for me had my name, but she refused to look at my paper because she said "I could have printed it out anyhwere" I got back in line and talked to someone else, and surprise they said I could check in, so the first woman was not only rude, but wrong. Before leaving after our stay, they had some construction up, and hotel "security" workers trying to manage people for safety reasons. Hotel worker "Michael" calls my family "You people", singles us out to block our movement while other people are allowed to pass, then when my dad tries to move he shoves him in the chest. We complain to the head of security at the Bellagio, and get a pretty shitty apology, and told there isn't much that can be done other than an internal review. I don't think any hotel workers should be able to put hands on a customer and shove them. Pretty much a terrible experience from start to finish. Would not stay here again.

Q: This is a mixed review and It was hard to decide how many stars to give this place. I play here often enough that one would assume that I like it a lot. Not always the case. I do track my play and I am up at this room, I walk away a winner more often than not. It is a young, hip, touristy room and because of that the competition is fairly week. Solid players should not have a problem turning a profit in this room as the games tend to be soft. The cocktail service is always good. The waitress comes around often and I never have to wait very long to get my order. They don't offer any draft, just the standard selection of bottles one would expect to find at a casino. That being said, this room is typically not well ran and some of dealers really have no business working here or in any other poker room for that matter. I hate to put him on blast, but wow, Al is the slowest dealer ever. Seriously, ever. He cannot keep the game going, he cannot multi-task and if there is any kind of distraction, cocktail waitress, football game or god forbid, someone actually trying to have a conversation with him, forget about it. You might as well use the 30 minutes when he is at the table to stretch your legs and take a bathroom break. You might get 8 or 9 hands dealt in 30 minutes if you are lucky. There are a few really good dealers here but they change tables every half hour. So during a 3 hour session I'm lucky if 2 out of the 6 dealers that work my table are among those select few. Also, this is not really a poker "room" but rather a group of tables surrounded with some velvet rope smack in the middle of the casino. Which amounts to one thing: an abundance of cigarette smoke. Players, spectators and people just passing by can smoke less than a foot from where I'm playing. I try to sit toward the middle of the "room" whenever possible. It doesn't really matter though, I still breath it and smell like an ashtray when I leave. After writing this review I'm actually not sure why I even patronize this place. Ahhh the things I do for good EV.

Q: The Ulos Batak Sumatra was hands down the worst cup of coffee I have ever had. Way too acidic- as in that "I just vomited a little in my mouth" flavor. Nothing helped the flavor except pouring it down the drain.
