My sister and I stayed at Bellagio for 4 nights in August 2008.
Our initial impression was negative. We waited approximately 20 minutes in the check-in line to be told our room was not ready and we were probably not going to get our requested queen beds/non-smoking room. We were told to return in 3 hours, which we did. At that time the front desk clerk was much more hospitable. He graciously assigned us a Spa Tower room with a partial lakeview. The room was gorgeous and more than we expected. We especially loved the twice daily maid service.

The buffet is one of the best we have eaten at. We had no problem receiving a VIP card which allowed us to enter via a separate line-up. We did most of our gambling at this casino and felt very comfortable here (even though we didn't walk away winners).

We will definitely return to the Bellagio.

This hotel is fabulous. In terms of the setting, location and the facilities there can be no complaint.

I am however amazed at the different charges for every little item that you might normally expect with a 5 star hotel even to the point of charging $25.00 to use the Gym!!!

I was impressed overall by the hotel but will not be staying again as I do not believe it represents value for money - 5 star is expensive but you expect to get what you pay for.

Stayed here for three nights in August had some trepidation after reading different web reviews of how it has suffered over the years. I couldn't disagree more, very clean room, bathrooms were very luxurious all marble tile and large. We had a king bed with a view of the pools. The hotel was very busy and we were at the pools for at least part of all three days very relaxing. expensive drinks at the pool bar but very tasty. Very hot in August but we expected that. not much of a gambler but we enjoyed the atmosphere of the casinos. didn't use many of the hotel services but the room was cleaned and picked up every day. totally enjoyed the stay would definately stay here again!

We arrived late, tired and slightly stressed after a long trip from the UK. Check-in was actually not as easy as it could have been. We had wanted two non-smoking rooms with 2 doubles, but they only had 2 king rooms on a smoking floor left. We were non too chuffed, but that is where the sour note ended.

The rooms were lovely, only had a minimal scent of cigarettes, and the roll away that we needed was already in the room by the time we arrived there.

We ordered room service which was prompt, delicious and delivered with a smile. The rooms were quiet, and very comfortable, but it was the hotel as an overall experience that really made it special.
It truly is fabulous from the moment you arrive and walk into the lobby. There are shops, restaurants, an atrium with a garden, lovely pools, and of course the casino. We didn't go to the casino, as we were with our children, but it was HUGE. The hotel is immaculate, but not stuffy or pompous.

We were only at the Bellagio for a few days, but it had a great impact on us and we can't wait to go back. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Vegas.
