Bellagio - The Real Deal :
The saying goes: "If you have to ask how much it is, you can't afford it." A number of years ago, we would've just left it at that. Nowadays, with Bellagio aging its way down the resort pecking order from a five star king of the mountain, the time has come to question Bellagio's stance as luxury standard bearer and see it for what it is - an aging four star resort which is in dire need of some renovations. The comparatively tiny standard rooms have threadbare furnishings and prehistoric tube tv's and wall sized armoires. Until Bellagio redesigns its room offerings to put it on par with amenities touted at Wynn, Encore, Venetian and Palazzo for years, we suggest shopping around for a better price to value ratio.
Bellagio History
One of, if not THE standard bearer for high-falutin 'spensiveness and hoity-toit, Bellagio Resort Hotel and Casino was built on the historic location where The Dunes stood for thirty-something years. To displace such a historic location, Bellagio mastermind Steve Wynn was hard pressed to impress, his vision: bringing the luxury. The 36 story Bellagio opened in 1998 at a price tag of $1.6 bajillion dollars. Yikes! To put it into perspective Bellagio would have to make a just shy of a 1/2 million dollars a day profit for 10 years to make this back. Bellagio opened a new hotel tower - the Spa Tower - in 2004.
Location of Bellagio:
Bellagio is located right in the middle of the action, but set back from the hubub of the Strip by Lake Como on the Strip and its insanely popular fountain show. The perception is that Bellagio is exclusive, the facts reveal the exact opposite... they really want you to come in there and stay, play, wine and dine.

The Rooms at Bellagio
There was a day when the name Bellagio was synonymous with luxury and to many Vegas tourists it still is. Until the opening of Wynn Las Vegas, the guest rooms at Bellagio - including the Bellagio King and Bellagio Queen - were some of the finest rooms in Las Vegas. Time waits for no one, and Bellagio - despite a minor renovation in 2008 - has done virtually nothing to keep its aging hotel rooms competitive. Bellagio still sports the ginormous armoire and huge tube tvs from about 10 years ago... luxury circa 1998.
Restaurants at Bellagio
Bellagio has a ton of great restaurants all of which require or suggest you make a reservation. Service, food and menu are all superb and the check will probably scare you unless you don't care about things like money.
Fine dining options include Le Cirque for French, Circo (Tuscan cuisine), Jasmine (Hunan, Cantonese, and Szechuan), Prime Steakhouse (one of, if not THE best steakhouse in Vegas), Picasso, Michael Mina seafood joint and Yellowtail a sushi restaurant/night club.
Casual dining options include FIX restaurant and bar, Noodles, Todd English's Olives and Sensi. Oh, and they have a Buffet and Cafe also.
Don't forget to check out the Jean Philippe Patisserie for cookies, crepes, chocolate and other sweetness.
Bellagio Tips
The Bellagio has one of the many Cirque du Soleil shows in Vegas, O. Be sure to check out the dancing water fountains, the Conservatory floral atrium and the Museum of Fine Art, all worth the effort.
There's a lot of stuff going on at Bellagio, you could spend an eternity there.
Great joint if you don't mind spending a little loot. Buffet is a must. Def a place to take a Vegas Virgin to impress! Great spa and fitness area. Best location on the strip. In my opinion...Second only to the Wynn. Only knock is the impersonal/rude dealers. Players Club (MGM) sucks.
If you can strut your stuff in here without feeling intimidated or somewhat empty in the wallet, then you've probably "made it" already. One of the largest resorts of the upper tier, Bellagio is more Lexus than Rolls-Royce as exclusivity goes. However, it commands a significant presence for pushing the Strip resorts into what was unexplored territory, and today is the cumulative apex of the themed resort era hotels. The casino, however, seems excessively prone to avoid creating any happy winners.
Recently spent three nights at the Bellagio. It is a nice resort, and most likely was the best that Vegas had to offer at one point, but not anymore. I find it a little overrated. The rooms are outdated and need remodelling. I stayed at Treasure Island last year and the rooms are almost identical, except that the Bellagio's bathroom is bigger and TI had an LCD TV (where Bellagio still has the old box TV). If they rate the Bellagio a 5-star I would have to say the Venetian is a 6-star and Wynn is a 7-star. The one thing that can't be beat about the Bellagio is the view from the Lakeview rooms. Awesome view!
It’s hard to believe that the Dune once stood where the Bellagio’s famous fountains and “Lake Como” reside. I just recently stayed here for my 40th birthday and had a fantastic suite with an awesome view of both the strip and the fountains. The room had some wear (a good sized stain where someone had spilled a drink down the wall behind the desk) but the service was top notch. While I enjoy the rooms at the Wynn more, I have always been more comfortable (and profitable) at the Bellagio’s Casino.
I recently got a room on the 28th floor, north wing facing the fountains. I've got to say, it was an amazing experience. The first night we were there, we ordered room service and watched the fountains do their whimsical dance. We had a wonderful bellhop who was from Peru who helped us get acquainted with the hotel and the surrounding area. Ultimately this was a great hotel to become familiar with Las Vegas.
I'm pretty much a low roller and I love the casino at Bellagio. It's a good place to play blackjack, but the sports book is the best thing about the casino. Big comfy leather chairs, and the bar waitresses come by frequently and can actually give you a decent free beer (Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada). Okay, "free" is a word one should never use when talking about Vegas, but you know what I mean.As for "walkers," you couldn't be more wrong. They want the walkers to come in alright, and they want them to walk by the all of the swanky shops between the entrance and the casino! And while my buddies and I might bring the cachet down a notch when we stumble in off the strip from our cheapo flop at the IP, they're still making money off of us, even if we only do $10 blackjack, make small change wagers in the sports book, and drink mass quantities of their beer.
Readers Who Added Bellagio to their MyVegas Favorites
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!

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.

Bellagio Rules
» To update update or edit your favorites, login to MyVegas
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.

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.

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:-)

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.

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.

this place is top notch, but it seems like they know the inner secrets of your bank account and treat you as such...for those of us to whom Bellagio is "splurging" , they treat us nice, but it is a "yes, we know you dont belong but you are paying us to treat you like you do" kind of nice, THAT BEING SAID, Prime and Olives are two of my favorite eats in LV, the fountains never cease to amaze me, and if I ever STOP getting goose bumps walikng into Bellagio.......go ahead and bury me cuz I'll be dead.

Although I have never stayed at the Bellagio, I have stopped in, walked around and enjoyed their fabulous breakfast buffet. Worth all the hype. I give them a high rated based on just that.
