Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas NV

Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas has an excellent location. It's in the middle of the Strip across the street from the Paris and the Planet Hollywood, formerly the Aladdin casinos. You can easily walk to the other casinos and if you need a drugstore during your stay, Walgreen's and CVS are nearby.

The rooms at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas are sumptuous and the staff aim to please. You can choose between guest rooms, suites and private villas depending on your budget. Always ask for a room with a view of the fountains. That's part of the charm of staying at the Bellagio and sometimes it may not cost you any more. It's one of the most popular Las Vegas casinos.

Everyone I've ever asked raves about the food and service at the Bellagio. I've eaten at the buffet and it's one of the best in town. You can gorge yourself on the large crab legs for hours. And it's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I recommend you get there early or send someone to stand in line for you otherwise the wait can be up to an hour or more.

For fine dining, Prime Steakhouse is excellent. Picasso is also a very sophisticated restaurant. Other fine dining includes: Jasmine on the lake, the award-winning Le Cirque, Shintaro with a Far East influence, Circo a Tuscany experience and Michael Mina with Mediterranean flavors. Just to show you the Bellagio doesn't kid around, they have 17 sommeliers and two master sommeliers on hand. But if you're on the go, the Bellagio has at least six other restaurants for casual dining. Olives and Noodles are very popular.

The Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas has world-class shopping with shops and boutiques at Via Bellagio, Via Fiore shops, Pool Promenade shops, the Lobby shops and the 'O' store. In the Via Bellagio, you have all the classic stores like Prada, Hermes, Tiffany, Yves St. Laurent, Fendi, Gucci, Armani and more. In the Lobby shops, you can find Judith Lieber bags, Guerlain fragrances, and jewelry, belts and sunglasses by Kieselstein-Cord.

The Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas displays a fountain show which is synchronized to music.

You've probably already heard about the Bellagio pools and courtyards where you can see the beautiful people wading in the pools, eating at the garden café, or getting poolside massages. Private cabanas are available as well. Pools are heated all year but the hours are seasonal.

Entertainment at the Bellagio is also first-class. "Cirque du Soleil's" 'O' performs twice a night except Mondays and Tuesdays. The Caramel Bar and Lounge is a very relaxing place to have drinks after the show. The Bank is a progressive nightclub with a glassed-in dance floor that is the focus point of the club. Great for people watching and celebrity sightings. If you want to have an experience that's a cut above the rest, definitely stay at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
