Check out the restaurants in the Bellagio and see what art they may be showing there.

Go to the Bellagio!!  We were just at their conservatory last weekend.  The art is just amazing.  Here is a picture... just one, I promise!



It's free.  You just walk right in and enjoy the art. 

We don't do much here in Las Vegas on the strip.  Definitely check out M Resort.  Just go south on Las Vegas Blvd until you hit St Rose Pkwy.  Gorgeous resort.

That looks like something from a sci-fi horror movie.  :p

I agree, but it's really cool!  There are giant ants, mushrooms, frogs, snails, butterflies, flowers, bees, etc.  It was so much fun. 

However, if you have a sensitive nose.. don't go in there.  There are tons of flowers.  One lady was walking through there and sneezing like crazy because of all the scents.  lol

My half-sister's husband is a casino host at the Bellagio (for the super high rollers)....she raves about the food there, particularly Prime. And the pool.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

My bro is a "pro"  He lived on his poker winnings when he was out of a job a few years ago....and he lived mighty well.  He still supplements his salary with online poker...he is very good.  I told him he may be the "fish" in Vegas though so he doesn't get too cocky.

Then he might do well.  There are "pros" at a lot of the places, but more likely than not you'll run into a lot of the local "grinders", along with the convention attendees and tourists mixed in.

As far as "big name" pros, I've run into Johnny Chan at TI, Annie Duke (as previously mentioned), Daniel Negranu, and Antonio Esfandiari at Venetian.  I've also run into a few pros in Los Angeles like Greg Raymer at the Bike.  I didn't meet him, but the TI dealers told me Chris Moneymaker typically stays (and plays 2-5 NL) at TI during the WSOP.
