We stayed here in October for 5 nights to celebrate my 40th with another couple. Managed to get upgraded to a partial lakeview room - and what a view of the strip and the famous fountains!Stayed in the Spa tower on the 16th floor which took about 10 minutes to get to from the lobby. These rooms are lovely with very comfy beds and huge bathroom with his & hers sink, shower and a tub. If you need advice on anything to do in Vegas or where to find, make sure you use the concegiers service - they are extremy knowledgeable and helpful. Also get down to the pool area to enjoy the sun and order mojitos. I can truly recomend this hotel to anyone who wants to experience a first class stay.

Tip 1 - try Bellagio's own website for great deals on rooms.
Tip 2 - the breakfast buffet is awesome for $15 - you don't need to eat until the evening.

We arrived at Bellagio on a very busy saturday afternoon(23/08/08).they were absolutly no queue for the check in, i was very surprise due to the other reviews that i read! anyway, we booked a lakeview bedroom and is absolutly worth the money.we were on the 15 floor and thought it was the perfect high to watch the fountains.the room was HUGE and the bathroom was amazing.the housekeeping was great as well.i called for more shampoo,they bring me the whole range of product for 3 person (shampoo,bath gel,mouthwash,soap,ect ect) They also gave us a lots of chocolate.i was very annoyed by the fact there is no wireless connection and then u need to pay for a cable and then paid for the connection ( i went to motels where the wireless internet is free, SHAMEFUL)!!We ate at Yellowtail and our waiter was great, the food was amazing and the price was great ( if u come from the UK ,really worth the money).I also use the spa and i had WATSU massage.if u want a life changing experience go for WATSU,u certainly need to trust ur therapist as ur are in water but if u let go of everything u feel like a bird flying in total freedom).i certainly come back change from this therapy and look forward to do it again if i come back.The spa was amazing as well.MY only BIG problem with bellagio was the renting limousine.we rent a limo for a hour who was rate at 74$per hour, we asked to have a nice ride on the Strip then being dropped at the Palms casino.We enter the limo at 10.30pm and were dropped at 11.20.We make sure to not go over the hour.Anyway 3 days after leaving Bellagio i was charged 111$ on my credit card.i contact bellagio who told me that the limousine company charge me this amount because i was dropped at midnight.I firmly said that wasnt the case and was ask to prove myself.how come the limousine company can charge me whatever they want when i ask bellagio only for a hour ride.I have nothing to prove i was overthere before midnight so i guess ill just need to pay.SHOCKING!!!! the check out went better than the check in, we ask for a late check out who was simply at 1pm no charge.the gentleman at the reception was the same guy who checked us in.he recognized us and ask us about our stay, he was very kind with us.other than that I LOVE THIS PLACE,BELLAGIO IS SIMPLY AND TRULY AMAZING!!!

Well what can I say, my husband and I have just returned from a three night stay at the Bellagio. The hotel is absolutely stunning. We had a room on the 26th floor of the tower which looks over the back of the strip. The room was lovely with maid service and towel change every day. The concierge desk where helpful and friendly as were the staff on check in/out. We used the hotel for breakfast as we were up early every morning so we hit the casino for an hour before breakfast which was great as some of the table limits were lower at that time and the croupiers had more time to explain how to play some of the games to us novices. The breakfast buffet was lovely with plenty of choice, only slight moan would be that at a weekend they put the price up and serve it as brunch, and there was always a queue to get in even though the restaurant itself was never full. We went on a trip to the Grand Canyon with Maverick Helicopters which we booked through the hotel, which was probably a bit more expensive than some of the others, but we felt it was well worth the money. (Also there appeared to be a few guests waiting for trips with other companies at the pick up point-situated underneath the hotel-who had not been picked up) We landed at the bottom of the Canyon for a champagne snack which was amazing.
We could not fault this holiday, the only downside is the travelling (10 hour flight) plus an eight hour time difference and we also had a four hour delay flying out and a two hour delay coming back. But for the total wow factor and the Vegas experience I would definitely recommend it. We will go back one day when we have saved enough to hit the casinos!!

My friend and I had been planning our 5 night stay at the Bellagio for nearly a year. We had been to Vegas several times and decided this was the year we were going to splurge and spend our nights at the Bellagio. We booked thru Vegas.com, which booked our trip with an airline vacation package. This is where you need to do your homework. We had every detail planned out, including the fact that we each paid an extra $100. for a lake view room. I read everyone's reviews about listening to the fountain music on our t.v while watching the show from our window and was beyond excited. The problem came up when we arrived at the Bellagio. First of all, the reviews you are reading about the check in process are true, I just came back this week, (October 6th) nothing has changed, there is no real cue line, it was a bit chaotic. What made it worse was when we saw some Bellagio staff walking the lines asking if customers were from a certain company (obviously one that was there for a convention), those customers that replied "yes" were escorted to a shorter line, those of us who replied "no" weren't looked at a second time, not even a "have a nice stay". When we finally did reach the front of the line, we were told there were no lake view rooms available with 2 queen size beds. We could have had one king and a cot, but not the room we had reserved. We showed the clerk our paperwork showing that we had reserved a double queen, non-smoking lake view room, and had paid extra for it, and we were told that the online service we reserved our vacation from only tells the hotel that we made a reservation, not the specifics of our reservation. Do yourself a favor, and if you reserve thru any online service, or anything other than directly thru the hotel, call ahead to confirm. I was upset with the online service for not telling us this was a possiblity, but honestly I was more upset with the Bellagio. We had planned and saved for this trip for a long time, it was my 40th birthday celebration, and the Bellagio did not even try to make any accomodations. Needless to say we ended up with a view of the construction.
I am surprised that the Bellagio did not try to make any accomodations for us, I realize that we are not big gamblers, but we do treat ourselves nicely with shopping and dining while we are on vacation, and I think any guest of a hotel should be treated with the highest level of respect.

That being said, we did have a wonderful time, "O" is undescribeable, Wayne Brady was hysterical, Barry Manilow, what can I say about Barry, Dana Carvey was unstoppable, and the Pink Jeep Tour of Red Rock Canyon was great (thank you to Jason our tour guide!!) While you are intown, be sure to have at least one meal at Cheeseburger at the Oasis in the Miracle Mile Shops.. Yumm

As beautiful as the Bellagio was, I think now that I've had a taste of it, next time I will opt for the more casual New York, New York, or Planet Hollywood. I think they value their customers a bit more and work harder to ensure you have a great time!
