Gotta Love the Las Vegas Festa

 

The World PokerTour’s Festa al Lago is one of my favorite tournaments for several reasons:

  1. It’s held in Las Vegas at the Bellagio’s Fontana Room.  Quaint, quiet and when players bust out they might hear the Bellagio theme song see video above.
  2. Great gelato is just steps away (If you get lost then ask Neil Channing for directions).
  3. Alan Feiner can get a satellite going pretty fast.
  4. It’s where I played my first casino tournament (thanks to Feiner).
  5. Best weather of the year on Bellagio’s Fontana Lounge.

The downside of Festa?  You’re stuck eating at Bellagio restaraunts when craving Sao Paulo Cafe.
