Took advantage of nice web-only deal for a two night stay at Bellagio. I'd read all the reveiws and my expectations were pretty high. I was not disappointed. Although the hotel is enourmous, the staff was extremely helpful and attentive -- from front desk staff to bartenders to pool attendants to croupiers. Our room was large, and the bath luxurious. The pool was equally lovely, with attentive staff and none of the "chair hog" issues I have encountered at some other spots. Loved the casino -- which was a surprise. Even though it always seemed crowded, it was generously staffed. At 9pm on a Saturday night, we found open seats at a low minimum black jack table with a friendly dealer. The hotel bars and restaurants were not cheap, but I didn't find the prices outrageous, especially given the outstanding service. I have paid more, for less. We spent a good deal of time at Petrossian, where there was live piano music and great people watching, and at the Fontana Bar where the lounge act was surprisingly good, and the fountain show was just outside on the terrace. Would definitely return.
