Bellagio Hotel and Casino – Las Vegas

What to expect

When Steve Wynn created the Bellagio his intention was to create the most luxurious hotel on the planet. He did not fall far from his mark, from the marble floors, to the huge skylights and the extensive gardens you forget you’re in Las Vegas. If you include the world class dining experiences and the Cirque du Soliel “O” show you realize you might not care about the rooms. Actually, they are incredible. Bellagio is about opulence and the rooms are roomy, tasteful and a little slice of heaven. All at a price, the Bellagio is one of the most expensive hotels in Las Vegas.

What you might like:

Probably in the top three when it comes to rooms in Las Vegas, they are everything you would expect for top dollar. The very best restaurants on the strip can be found at Bellagio including Le Cirque, Fix, Jasmine and my favorite Olives.

The restaurants at Bellagio have no comparison elsewhere on the strip. The pool area is huge and noticeably absent are the large group of teenagers that you see at other resorts.

What you might not like:

The cost, everything at Bellagio comes at a price, room rates are high and restaurants are extremely expensive. I hate to admit that it’s worth it, but it might be. The resort as a whole might come off as a bit pretentious and that is possibly because they aim to please those with a lot more money.

My suggestion:

One of my favorite things to do is have lunch at Olives, on the patio, and watch the Bellagio fountains. The food at Olives is an experience in itself and you cannot find a more romantic place in all of Las Vegas.
