las vegas bellagio hotel experiences at one of the premier hotels in Las Vegas - by Jason

Bellagio Hotel Las Vegas

Bellagio has first class entertainment, rooms, shows, and food that comes in many varieties. If you can afford it just get here. No web page in the world can capture the beauty and fine experiences that can be had at Bellagio where over 10,000 people work to bring you a fantasy world of decadence.

For instance, you'll be stunned in the lobby to see world-class glass artwork by Dale Chihuly on the ceiling. He's suspended 2,000 hand-blown glass flower sculptures in hundreds of colors. See the free Conservatory and Botanical Garden room too. The fountains of Bellagio offer a free water spectacular outside on an 18 acre strip front lake best enjoyed at night.

The Bellagio Hotel changes their conservatory four times a year to match the seasons. The spectacular displays that the Bellagio horticulturists create is worth visiting those four times a year.

The acrobats and swimmers are of Olympic quality performing in "O" the Cirque aquatic show spectacular. It's a breathtaking show performed on, in and above sparkling laser lit water in an 1,800+ seat European style opera house.

I like Caramel Bar and Lounge because its easy to get to lounge and low commitment. It has an intimate upscale atmosphere with a lineup of 80's tunes, Rat Pack, and Rolling Stones music. Also Bellagio has The Bank, a massive wild Las Vegas nightclubs.

Many are surprised to find famous artwork in Las Vegas but the Bellagio boasts its Gallery of Fine Art. Conceived by Steve Wynn who started the Bellagio in 1998, he placed his private collection in the gallery including original works by Degas, Monet and Picasso.

Overview: Bellagio serves first class world travelers as an elegant sophisticated resort offering both standard rooms and suites. Many believe this is the best Vegas offers for the high brows though I think naming a top hotel casino this way would be difficult with all the variations on service, amenities like show choices, bars, free activities, price, etc.

Restaurants: I highly recommend my favorite gourmet buffet of all time in Vegas for DINNER at the Bellagio Buffet, plus other restaurants include Café Bellagio and Café Gelato for small quick delights, and some like Circo, FIX, Jasmine, Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant & Bar, Jean-Philippe Pâtisserie, Le Cirque, Todd English's Olives. For the most serious of dinners make reservations at Le Cirque which won the rare AAA Five-Diamond Award serving French cuisine.
