A co-worker who recently inherited a bunch of money has managed to get himself into the high-roller area at the Bellagio. Supposedly he was invited into a private room (coat and tie required) where he was playing $1,000 minimum Baccarat.

He told me that in ths room they had a Blackjack table with a $100,000 minimum. I asked him what they were using for chips and he told me "funny looking square things". I have no reaons to not believe this guy, but a couple of things struck me as odd - 1) I thought there was no such thing as a "private" room in Vegas that could be entered by invitation only and 2) has anybody documented plaques at Bellagio?
