Remodeled Baccarat Bar - Bellagio

I'd meant to post about this. It just reopened a couple days ago, and it looks really good. Bellagio has been doing a great job with their renovations lately -- new carpet, new chandeliers, etc. I'll take some photos tomorrow. Overall it's the same style, just a modernized-but-still-elegant version. They got it done faster than expected, too, as the original target was "early fall".

Speaking of which, if you're coming in October, you should be prepared for Petrossian to be closed. They're doing a renovation there starting in a couple weeks, though now that Baccarat is open they might speed up that timeline.

 

The official Bellevue website already has updated baccarat bar pics. This is a great place to sit back and enjoy the scenery of people going by...it used to be far better when they had a trio..then a duo...then just a solo pianist.... we first began to play "spot the hooker" here.

 

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume he meant Bellagio.

Sadly, that trick doesn't really work anymore. The hookers dress like college girls; the college girls dress like hookers.

 

Enough money will land you either one though

 

That was a typo....meant to say...bellagio website..my profound apologies.

 

I'm on a temporary phone with a terrible camera, sorry.

 

I think so, but I admittedly don't have recall of what the bar looked like before -- it's possible they've updated the liquor racks beyond the bar, but there's still VP and the usual-looking chairs.

 

We've being sitting around the baccarat bar since the beginning when a jazz trio included a pianist, base and cello. This group included a male and female vocalists. This was during the era when the Fontana room on the other side of the casino had some great live bands and dance floor to boogie. The big B is such a bore these days.
