There’s no chip clatter or people chatter going on at Bellagio tonight. The poker room is manned by Suzie, (Swing Shift Supervisor), a cashier, a few security guards, and lots of empty tables. The whole casino is dark.

The unthinkable has happened…Bellagio has shut down. The culprit? A truck hit a transformer on Frank Sinitra Blvd. (the street that runs behind Bellagio) and wiped out Bellagio’s power line/source. That’s the initial stance on what created the problem.

The tournaments are on hold.
