Gaucho, is there a reason you only want to play at the high end properties? Both Bellagio and Venetian have been in trouble with the gaming board for not keeping up with cash on hand vs. chips in stock... Venetian has been moving alot of money from mall revenues to the casino to cover their butts... lord knows what Bellagio is doing.
If you want GOOD and REAL gaming, seriously, try *ANY* of the Stations Casinos, such as Green Valley Ranch, Santa Fe, Sunset Station, etc. The glitz and glamour of the strip is great, but those 100 foot TVs were paid for somehow.... Even O'Sheas between the Imperial and Flamingo has some good gaming, not to mention Terribles Casino, Arizona Charlies (West), and The Palms (if you can keep your eyes off of the overhead TVs).
