Huge room, overlooking the strip!!!! Really was something else...

Room was immaculate, huge bathroom, impecable service. Loved it all. Stayed for 10 days over New Years, so we were often the only ones by the pool (mid 60's- coming from Scotland this is warm!). So very quiet and peaceful, think in the summer it is crazy busy.

Great shopping near by (Caesars Palace shops) and so much to see - never quite understood the whole "you visit hotels" concept that I heard about but really, that is what you do & it is great!!! Venetian, MGM, New York New York etc etc. The show a Treasure Island a bit ropey (gyrating girls!) a bit ropey, but otherwise all amazing.

The all you can eat buffets are insane - the cafe in the Luxor was great. You can pick what you want, but share with your travel companions, portions are tooooo big. That's my only "complaint" - it is so wasteful.

Day trips - red Rock Canyon and the Grand Canyon. Both fantastic.

Evening - we went to Cirque du Soleil which was unbelieveable...

Fantastic place, ENJOY!!!

Oh and we didn't gamble at all...

Stayed 3 nights...fri, sat, and sun. 17th floor standard room with a fountain view. It seems expensive is the only requirement for "luxury"....it IS expensive...but its not luxury....its really just a standard hotel room with mechanical drapes and a big marble covered bathroom with a nice glass shower. Thats it. Small flat screen CRT tv, worn carpet, flattened out cheap pillowtop bed, burned out light bulbs, sink that wont drain, dirty blankets... definitely showing its age. The hallway noise was incredibly loud....ive stayed in quieter Super 8s. People talking outside sound like they are in your room. You can hear doors up and down the hall at all hours.....they slam like a bomb going off...(good for security...bad for sleeping in). My biggest complaint was the mini-bar attendant who insisted on knocking not once but twice then walking in on us while we napped.....(privacy sign was on the door...front desk didnt care when we mentioned it on checkout). Overall....will never stay again nor recommend it as there are perfectly nice rooms elswhere for less money. The comments on the snack bar/mini bar are true....look at it wrong and charges show up on your bill...and the snacks are like everything else in this place.....premium priced ordinary. They had us billed for $50 in extra charges for things we never touched. Dont be fooled by the hype.....its quite an average hotel hidiing behind expensive pricing as a label for "luxury". Worth half of what they charge at best.

I created several problems for myself on this trip. First, I lost my wallet. It contained EVERYTHING!!. I panicked, and imagined myself with no ID. The security desk in the casino, went out of their way to help. I found out from them, that I had left it at the valet stand, when I had been there earlier. Security located my wallet, and had it returned to me, intact, not a thing missing.
The next day, when I was checking out, the valet brought me my car, and I realized with another shock, no cell phone, The valet called all over, while I went back to casino security, where it had been recovered. The emplyees were so helpful and kind, it made my stay.
All the service personnel were outstanding and delightful, that included housekeeping, waitstaff, and everyone of the employees I encountered. Kudos to the Bellagio.
Otherwise, my room was immaculate, the food I enjoyed, and the casino was fair to me, which means I got to play for a long time, and did not lose a whole lot of money. I saw "O" for the third time, and was continually amazed. The fresh flowers in the conservatory and thoughout the hotel, are incomparable.
There are lots of choices of upscale hotels in Las Vegas, but the Bellagio is trying very hard to maintain a top position. I would go back in a heartbeat.

To be honiest. The Bellagio is an expensive, crowded, resort/casinohotel on the strip. Check-inn can cost you a lot of time. The walk from the reception to the hotel-elevators can be a hastle and service is directly translated in the amount of the tip you give. My wife and I stayed a couple of days in june in the Bellagio. Got a room in the westwing on the 16th floor over looking the pool and the city-projoxt. The room was nice, classic design and furniture. Bathroom also great, dark-marble, liked the ornaments and the walk-inn shower. The climate-controle was great, no sounds whatsoever. Coming fron the elevators, entering the corridor to the westwing. We both noticed a not so nice smell coming out of the service-room. Didn't like that.
Also didn''t liked the helicopters that came over the nice pools every ten minutes. Irritating. We had some meals in some of the numer of restaurants. Only the Bellagio cafe has good quality one-plate meals for afair price. Rest of the restaurants are simply expensive. Even the buffet, for which you've to wait sometimes more than an hour.
All in all; the Bellagio isn't the queen of the Strip anymore,but still an very nice princess.
The accommodationquality is still very high. The receptionhall with the glasswork, the conservatory, the fountains and the lake are special. So is Cirque du Soleils 'O'. What a show.
