Bellagio's Bobby's Room Renamed to Legends Room

The Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas has renamed its high-stakes poker area from Bobby's Room to Legends Room. This change comes as Bobby Baldwin, the namesake of the room, takes on a new role at a rival casino. Bobby Baldwin took up the role at The Drew Las Vegas in November 2019 after a long stint as Chief Customer Development Officer of MGM Resorts and CEO and President of CityCenter.

Bobby's Room is where the likes of Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen, and Dan Jungleman Cates go to battle. Recently there was a $2,500-$5,000 big bet mixed game being played on a regular basis.

Before the poker boom started in 2003, the regular get together in Bobby's Room was known as The Big Game. Bobby's Room was also the venue for the challenge match against billionaire banker Andy Beal. Names such as Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese, Jennifer Harman, Johnny Chan, Barry Greenstein and Phil Ivey all played stakes up to $100,000/$200,000 with swings in excess of $15 million.
