Bellagio

This was our first time at the Bellagio, the service was great the Lago restaurant and view was amazing, and all of the late-night activities made it possible to stay in the hotel for the majority of the time. Great location, atmosphere, room, service and everything was clean.

We always like coming here, but the crowds are overwhelming. That is certainly a testament to its popularity but it can get frustrating. Lines everywhere for breakfast, pastries. They should be more clear on weekend pricing as my wife was charged 10% than anticipated because she had a spa service on a Sunday. The room was great and the shower fantastic. Service is always friendly.

Always a wonderful experience staying here. 24th year meeting family and staying at the Bellagio. Bellagio staff top to bottom is awesome. Have played with dealer Tida on table games almost every year. Not only does she remember me, but also conversations we’ve had. Her never ending enthusiasm is contagious and I look forward to seeing and playing with her.

Bellagio has nice rooms. There were eye-catching Chinese New Year's displays. The gym was big with treadmills, stairclimbers, rowers, ellipticals, dumbbells, and weight machines. I didn't like having to walk through the casino to get to the hotel elevators and gym. The conference rooms and event staff were good.

When Steve Wynn opened the Bellagio in 1998, after first opening the Mirage and before opening the Wynn, it was ne plus ultra for the Strip. Although it's now a part of MGM Resorts huge empire, it has maintained its aura of luxury and has also physically been well-maintained. It's been a while since I last stayed here; the rooms have been refreshed. I also stayed at the Cosmopolitan next door during this trip (another MGM property), and its rooms have not been as well maintained. I booked an entry-level Premier King room and paid for early check-in, which starts at 11 am. I arrived around 10 am and only a Premier Two Queens was available. I did not pay for a fountain view, having had one at the Cosmopolitan, so my room basically looked onto the "O" Theatre roof, with a glimpse of Caesars. I was on a lower floor also (8). The room was pretty basic but nicely done. There was a personal shelf for use in the sensored minibar fridge. I placed something on top of some cans of beer in the minibar and it triggered a charge (they even knew the kind of beer) that luckily was able to be removed. The bureau that holds the minibar has just 2 small drawers for clothes. The TV was surprisingly not high def. The bathroom, which used to have a tub and phone booth-like shower, now has a very long shower. The doors are thin, so I heard noise from the hall as well as through the connecting door to the next room. The public spaces have changed little since the beginning. Some of the restaurants have changed; most recently Carbone Riviera took over the Picasso space. Three of the original restaurants remain: Prime Steakhouse (next to Carbone Riviera), Jasmine and Le Cirque. I dined at both Carbone Riviera and Le Cirque, see separate reviews. Bellagio does not have a food hall and has limited casual dining options, few of which are sit-down. There is a walkway towards the rear of the complex (past the Spa Tower and heading towards the Aria tram) that leads you to the Cosmopolitan (which does have a food hall) and Vdara in the Aria complex. The Conservatory remains a very popular attraction; it recently opened its Lunar New Year installation. Only one pool was open; most of the others were drained and being refreshed. Bellagio remains a solid, higher-end Vegas choice with a great location.
