After a couple of hours of fun, I left with about $100 more than I walked in with. And the whole time I recorded each play on my Player&#8217;s Card.<\/p>\n<p>I logged into my account to see if I could get some sort of discount for being a member. I saw a bunch of offer codes, but didn&#8217;t understand what they meant. So, I called the Bellagio because they have a cool fountain, and asked if I could get any promotional deals on an upcoming Saturday.
