Legends Room (Previously Bobby's Room)

The Bellagio poker room is perhaps best-known for Bobby's Room, renamed to Legends Room. Opened in 2004 and named after former Bellagio owner Bobby Baldwin, the 1978 WSOP Main Event champ, the room has gained mythical status within the poker community as the home for some of the biggest cash games in the world.

Several big stories have come out of the four walls of Bobby's Room in the past. In 2018, Gus Hansen logged 652 hours in 70 days at Bobby's Room while Patrik Antonius allegedly lost $500,000 playing $6/$12k Omaha Hi-Lo in 2019.

Bellagio Las Vegas Poker Room Tournaments

The Bellagio previously ran a 5pm daily tournament with a $125 buy-in tournament, however this is currently cancelled until further notice.

At this time, there are no daily or weekly tournaments available at Bellagio, only cash games.

Bellagio Robberies

In 2012, two men wearing black wigs and sunglasses attempted to rob a high-stakes blackjack table. One of the men, Michael Belton, was tackled by casino employees shortly after the attempted heist.

Five years later, a masked man robbed the Bellagio poker cashier at gunpoint. The robbery was witnessed by numerous poker players, including Doyle Brunson, James Woods and Randy Ohel.

Eventually, in 2019, a man named Michael Charles Cohen attempted to rob the casino but was unsuccessful. Cohen was shot dead while trying to flee with a reported $35,000. It later transpired that he was the same masked man who robbed the property in 2017.

The Bellagio Bandit

The most high-profile robbery came in December 2010 when the Bellagio was robbed for cash and chips worth up to $1.5 million. The haul included a large amount of $25,000 Bellagio chips, called Cranberries due to their distinctive red shape.

As a result of the robbery, the Bellagio even took the stop to discontinue its $25,000 chips in order to thwart the robber from cashing in one of the high-value chips.

It took until February 2011 for the robber to get unmasked. Anthony Michael Carleo, nicknamed the Bellagio Bandit, was arrested after trying to sell stolen $25,000 Bellagio chips to an unmasked police officer.

Years later, Carleo recounted his story in an article for Rolling Stone.

"Look, I know I should have thrown those $25,000 chips away," he told Rolling Stone. "But who can throw away a million dollars?"

Bellagio WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic

The Bellagio has had a very close relationship with the World Poker Tour (WPT) ever since its inception in 2002. In fact, the very first WPT event was the WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic, held at the Bellagio. Since then, and allowing for the coronavirus pandemic, it has been held every single year and continues to attract some of the biggest names in poker.

In 2012, the event attracted controversy after it announced that it would allow unlimited entries for the first eight entries.
