The short answer to your question is: it only takes 51 votes for a bill to pass in the Senate once it comes out of conference. However, remember that they still have to hold the House while in conference.
Here's a quick run-down of the process:
1.) Bill is presented in the Senate.
2.) The bill must be debated. It takes a simple majority to start debate, unless there is a filibuster (which shuts down debate and prevents a final vote on the bill). It takes 60 votes to override the filibuster (vote of cloture) and pass the bill.
3.) The Senate bill then goes into conference. Conference is a small committee of both House and Senate members who rework the final bill and resolve differences. If resolution cannot be made, the bill dies in conference. If the committee agrees, it comes out of conference.
4.) Once the bill comes out of conference, it goes for a final vote by Congress, in which 51 votes are needed for passage.
5.) The final bill then goes to the President's desk for signage (or veto).
