Bellagio vs Wynn Las Vegas : Vegas Battle Royale

Bellagio
Las Vegas Strip
Blow by blow:

Fontana Bar was the coolest place to watch the dancing fountains. Probably, because I didn't have a lake view room. Although up-top the faux Effiel Tower was a cool viewing spot for the fountains.

No matter how expensive or great a new hotel is, the Bellagio will be the best hotel in Vegas. Its even better than the Wynn (well in my opinion). Love eating at Polio and Olives. They have the best show, "O". Words can't express how great the Bellagio is. If you stay at the Bellagio it will be the best Las Vegas experience you have had yet!

Got to be the best hotel in Vegas......They always treat us very well.........great rooms.........super dining.

I'm a Downtown kinda girl but I do enjoy mingling among the rich folk. This place oozes class. From the conservatory to drinks on Prime patio, everything is top notch.

Even after everything this place went through, Bellagio is still one of the most elegant and 'spensive casinos in the world. If Wynn still owned it, Bellagio would have remained at the top of everyone's lists.

THE best resort in the world. Period. I transformed Steve's four star resort to the five diamond wonder of the world.

The Bellagio is hands down the best place I have stayed in Las Vegas. The buffett is second to none. The O show is unbelievable. It is one of the classiest joints on the strip.

Now and forever the best hotel resort in the world hands down. Once the "newness" of Wynncore and City Center wears off, everyone will be head'n back to the Bellagio............You'll see!

To me, Bellagio is Vegas. The fountains, the food, the art- it's an icon. And we are always lucky in the casino.

When I built Bellagio in 1998 it was the state of the art in upscale luxury resorts. The gorgeous decor to the expansive and plush rooms put a brand new face on the Las Vegas experience and once again set the standard for a casino resort.

I don't stay here too often anymore now that Wynn Las Vegas is open but I still love a lot about this place. The fountains are incredible. The casino design is good and service is still tops.

My favorite casino floor to merely walk through. Not too loud and incredibly comfortable. Probably the most attractive sports book. A friend of mine walked by the $1,000 minimum blackjack table and some guy waved him over to bet a $6,000 hand.

Classy, clean, enjoyable. Always fun to visit. Olives is great, "O" is beautiful, Palio has the best capuccino in Vegas, overall a great hotel. Gambling is good, you get a lot of pulls or throws for your bucks here. Rooms are comfortable, large, and quiet - and quiet can be something of an issue in Vegas hotel rooms. The fountains, of course, are a big draw - no matter how many times you've seen them you'll still watch them again.

The grandmaster of Vegas' "Disney period" proved that themed decor, when done well, can be taken seriously. Still the most welcoming environment on the Strip, it's greatness has been worn down by a combination of aging facilities, and managers who don't share the original vision. Service can still be snobby, more than at Aria.

love it but the property is slowly losing it's personality and being replaced with the generic stuff. can't find the words to describe it. kinda like nana with alzheimers. you love her but you know something is missing...

Bellagio is very elegant. The casino is comfortable and fun to play at. The building and grounds are beautiful. I haven't stayed there but a walk around the hotel and around the pool area makes you feel as if you have traveled to a beautiful, tranquil villa in Italy. The murano glass chandelier in the entrance is a marvel to view and not to be missed. The fountains at night, set to music are quite moving and fun to watch.

best piano man (petrossian bar), generally a good vibe, and killer eats. i think i always stop by, though the clientele is getting douchier every year. coincidentally seems like this is the spot to find escorts. noodles is still worth getting in line for (now that i live nowhere near any decent asian food...)

Our stay was top notched from check in to check out. Although the lines were very long we did not mind, what's the rush your on vacation. The check in receptionist gave us a complimenary bottle of bubbly for our anniversay. Stayed in the Salone Suite, with turn down service and chocolates on the pillows. The casino bar made the best Lemon Drop martini that I have had in Vegas. Not every bartenders knows how to make one and just putting Lemon flavored Vodka is not all it takes. Won in the casino:-)

One of finest places I have seen. Every detail is so intricate, whether its the architecture, pool, the conservatory, and even the check in counter, it's just gorgeous! I imagine it to be a very romantic place to stay at.Won $200 clear here as well on the slots. I NEVER win at slots, so I was thrilled!

The first truly luxury property I stayed at in Las Vegas, Bellagio was once my vision of the epitome of Las Vegas. Then Wynn opened. Previous stays during the height of the Excess Boom were great, but my last visit in July left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Booked room type was unavailable. Told our room was renovated when almost any Vegas aficionado knows that those rooms haven't been updated in almost five years. Frat boys taking boxes of beers to their super cheap rooms. Electronic drapery controls in the room were, by some sort dark magic or electrician incompetence, reversed. In general, service, clientele, and maintenance issues were endemic. What was once the property so exclusive, so luxurious that I couldn't have hoped to enter until my eighteenth birthday is not aging as gracefully as it could and should be under the stewardship of a tinkering, interested owner. I cringe to think what will happen once all of MGM's design and guest attention is taken by ARIA.

Previously, Bellagio was one of the most beautiful hotels on the planet... but time marched onwards and Bellagio went boating.

It's very beautiful and the fountain and the chandelier are so whimsical, yet so beautiful.

High falutin' top of the Vegas world. This place has it all. Watch Bond-like action in the Baccarat room or play next to some of the kindest snobs you'll meet at the tables. Catch the fountain show and the conservatory display and remind yourself of what made Steve Wynn great to begin with. The rooms need a makeover though, nice and roomy but the only place without standard flat panel TVs. The lakeview rooms make up for it with a HiDef view of the Fountains.

Nice, but felt a little shabby, in need of redecoration (Nov 06). Fun tables. Picasso is superb. Best Bloody Mary ever at Fontana Bar too.

Nice casino, always seem busy, nice lake and best restaurant in vegas "picasso"

Rooms are a little bit long in the tooth, but the casino is superb. Solid drink service.

Is there any better place in all of Vegas? Before the arrival of ARIA and CityCenter's Mandarin Oriental, I would've said "hell no." Now, I'm not so sure.

Hi, my name is Steve Wynn... and this is my new resort. The only one I've EVER put my name on.

Consistently awesome staff and a design unparalleled by any hotel on the strip, it's no wonder Wynn Las Vegas has had my business again and again. Anybody who has stayed in the Tower Suites knows it's the only way to go.

Its just beautiful.
The staff kick ass, and are not ashamed to show the 'aloha'.

can't get enough of it. not a bad thing to say. shell out the extra coin and stay in the tower suites rooms. dramatic difference in service and attention to details

Best hotel/casino currently in Vegas. Fantastic everything. Can't wait to go back!

Was Mr. Wynn crown jewel before he trumped it with Encore. Still, in my opinion, the second best property in Vegas. Not too shabby. Classy, elegant, plush. Think of Circus Circus and then think of the extreme opposite

I loved every single thing about it. I have stayed there 3 times and once in a Tower Suite. I have also stayed at Bellagio, and prefer Wynn by far.

THIS IS SOME PLACE WHERE I HOPE SOME DAY TO STAY AND PLAY IN. JUST WALKING THRU THIS PLACE IS TRULY A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, MR. WYNN HAS LEFT NOTHING UNTOUCHED THE PLACE IS BEYOND BREATHTAKING AND THE CASINO IS SO RELAXING TO PLAY IN. SOMEDAY I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SPEND SOME GOOD QUALITY TIME THERE...

Beautiful rooms, beautiful casino, great restaurants. What more do you need?

Just stayed at the Wynn. How was it? Awesome. Pool. Awesome. Food. Awesome. Clubs, bars and entertainment. Awesome.

Wow. Got there for a free night's stay on April 30 a little early - gal at check in said that there wasn't a basic non smoking room available. So I offered to gladly take a smoking room (I can't imagine the smoking rooms at the Wynn being that bad) so she bumped me to a panoramic Strip view corner room on floor number 20 for free... SWEET! Only there for a night, but wow. Everyone talks about the bed... I was a little (majorly) drunk when I got into it but it was the most comfortable bed I've ever been in! The room was incredibly spacious. The TV actually said "Welcome Robert" or something to that effect when I walked in - majorly cool. Not sure I liked the orange halls, but I digress.... The staff was AWESOME - even came for turn down service, everyone was so friendly. Definitely a first class experience. Too bad I work at a bank and can't afford a room again.... lol

A hotel masterpiece, amazingly and carefully designed to make you feel casually elegant, right? Amazing rooms and a great casino. Check out the Lake of Dreams for a free acid trip, dine at SW and relish in the goodness that is Truffled Cream Corn, or stroll around and witness those with money and those digging for it.

Until the opening of ARIA, the Wynn was miles ahead of its competition. Now, it's a dead heat between the crown jewels of the Wynn and MGM empires.

The rooms are nice ... but it know what its all about you MUST stay in a suite. I’m not trying to be a snob here, but from the private check in surrounded by bits of Steve Wynn’s art collection to the private suite hold pools – it’s the only way to roll. Eat at Alex and be amazed by the food without being overwhelmed, people watch at Parasol Down or play Pro or No in the B Bar after 11 pm. It doesn’t get much better then this.

The best. From The Resort Suite to The Salone Suite, incredible! Let's see what happens at Encore.

ok. no question this is where i spend the most time. awesome drinks, gambling, crowd, clubs, food. and awesome drinks. repeated, because they are that awesome.

Vegas perfection. We spend a lot of time here. The best buffet, comfortable casino (though I would like to forget my recent run at the tables), and outstanding design.

This place sets the standards by which all other places aspire. Excellent service from every staff member I come into contact with. Only complaint I can find with this place is the prices at dinning establishments, but I guess that is the cost of excellence. Luckly the Venetian has some good dinning options nearby, along with forum shops. Drink service and gambling has been good every time. I even managed to Wynn a few bucks during last visit. I will return as long as they keep the room rates in my neighborhood.

I so want to own a suite here. I mean. If I had millions, I'd buy one on the 60th floor and freaking move in. Freakin-A. I'd order those dreamy pancakes and have the syrup heated just right every single morning. Outfit those curtains with a remote so I can open it whenever I want. Yeah. Hell yeah.

Ahhhhh... Wynn... I waited 5 long years watching the planning and construction of the place. We were there for the opening and I've been quite a few times since then. I can say that I truly love the hotel. The rooms are great, the service is great, the spa is great, I love the casino, the colors are awesome and the food is amazing - lots of great restaurants. Looking forward to Encore.

A step sideways from Bellagio. The casino is great for a modern, heavily-appointed property but the restaurants vary and the resort end is beaten by it's chief competitor. I've learned to respect the interior, even if I don't fully love it.

Tryst is visually stunning. Am looking forward to eating at The Country Club. Shops seem a bit too high end for me (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I have only been to the casino, but what a casino! I did not get the opportunity to play enough there but what an ambiance. The lobby, the casino floor were warm and inviting. I love red and the casino was a great display of red design. The slots were fun - I really can't wait to go back and find the Wynn Blazing 7s. I loved the interaction with the slot club card screen on each slot machine. Only wish they had web access to player comp points, promotions, etc. Hope to stay there one day.

Gorgeous design and great restaurants mark the Wynn in my memory, but the table limits are too rich for my blood.

I will be staying there for the first time in about a week. My boss claims this is his hands-down fave Vegas property. He's the one who encouraged me to sign up for the Red Card and gamble just a bit there. The Nugget, then Caesars were his faves before. Although there is no way I am willing to pay to play their table games, they have a great array of slots for the low-baller. I didn't walk out a big winner, but that's no difference from anywhere I go. I DID get a good amount of play for the money spent. The drinks are well served (one waitress tracked us down to the other side of the room to deliver out booze when we wandered off) and strong enough. I probably still wouldn't be staying here except they sent me a $120/night deal with $150 in free slot play as a player's club member (thanks boss!). We'll see if I'll feel compelled to do it again sometime after I see what the holiday experience brings....maybe another spot on the dice.

Stayed twice (Jun 05, Jan 07). Lovely. Casino is fun - my favourite and most frequented - and the Poker Room rather good too. It'll take something really special (and MO doesn't have a casino, so that's out) to stop me returning to Wynncore rather than anywhere else.

The rooms are amazing, I could say that. Their restaurants are exquisite as well as the design but, there's just something thats missing- something big. Maybe its the location, or that "feel" IDK . I'll find out soon.

Probably best hotel on the strip. The only drawback is that the table limits are quite high and dealers seem to have an attitude if you are not shelling out the dough. Even if you are a steady $25 / hand BJ player, they seen to not really give a shit. I may be kind of dated here, because the last time I played BJ (for above reasons) was 2008. Good Video poker, good drink service in the slot areas. Nice sports book. Great pool area.

It is very nice. I've seen Avenue Q and Spamalot and enjoyed that theatre and the shop both times. The shopping, while high-end, is nothing to toot your horn about. The casino is beautiful and yet I feel so cramped with the lowered roof. The observatory and te lake is noce. The best restaurant in the hotel is Bartolotta di Mare. i would stay there if I had a good view, but doesn't see dropping out alot of dough for the rooms.

Best music, best waitresses (I suspect they're genetically engineered), best cocktail service, best slots (in my experience), best burger I've ever had (Terrace Point Cafe), and all sorts of other small details that make this place pure magic.
