I think this video has been posted about 15 times. Seriously. The guy who posted it to youtube has made 45 VT accounts and keeps posting it to the board to try and pump up the views of the thing. Then he responds to his own posts with another fraudulent account. I've since banned the guy.

I posted the video on YouTube and ONCE on this website.
honestly, I don't give a damn about how much people that
watch my video's.
I never respond to my own posts, and I only have ONE
channel on VegasTripping which is apparently not banned.

I'm cool with Bellagio the way she is. Maybe The Bank could be a little nicer, but otherwise I like it just fine.

Maybe replace Olives with a restaurant worthy of the ol' girl.

My opinion is that Bellagio is just as good now as it ever was.
They just need to change the casino uniforms to be what they were in oceans 11.

I think the guy who posted the video on YouTube was the same guy who insisted that photos in one of my Encore videos were of Wynn Macau, when it was just shots of the Wynn LV tower from Encore's pool deck.
Anyways, I think a lot of the changes that MGM has made to Bellagio have been for the better. Some, not so much (mainly, just the staircase that was removed for the Spa tower, but I understand the logic behind it's removal). The conservatory is far more interesting now than any photos I have seen of it before MGM took over, the displays do get a bit redundant, but overall impressive.
The carpet and a lot of the finishes look as if they were out of date a month after the place opened, although a lot of Wynn's newer carpets look very similar to what was originally in Bellagio.. so that is really just my humble opinion..
I still don't understand these arguments though. Wynn only ran the place for what, a year and a half? Obviously Bobby Baldwin has had a bigger key in Bellagio's success.

I'm "the guy" who posted this video on YouTube and ONCE on this website.
Believe me, I know the difference between Wynn LV and Wynn Macau, so I would never say or ask such a thing ;)

I actually prefer the Bellagio the way it is today than when Steve Wynn owned it for many reasons which I won't mention. Although Wynncore, Cosmo and Aria are newer and have bigger rooms, I believe in the long run, the Bellagio will end up as the overall nicest property on the Strip. Just the elegant look of the outside to the inside is so timeless it's really in a few words, incredible.
As Chuckmonster once stated in a post that I'm a 'Bellagio obsessive', I gladly admit that I am but I know there are a couple of Wynn fanboys here as well :-) It's fun

Bellagio is just as good now as it ever was. MGM made a lot of good changes that took the resort from Steve's 4-star idea in to a 5-Diamond rating.
