Bellagio, Las Vegas

Everything is awesome. It was wonderful and nice experience

Our stay was really good. The rooms were nice and of course in a perfect location. Will surely stay again.

The place is very quiet, not sure it's good or bad for others. Room service is fast. Requested towers comes a bit late though. For that price, it is good price. Mon Feb 28 15:02:57 PST 2011

The hotel was beautiful, well worth the money. We paid extra for a lake view room & what I can I say except WOW, stunning views of the fountain. Room was cleaned/serviced at least once a day. Excellent location on the strip. When booking I had wanted to stay at The Venetian but we decided to go to Bellagio (Husband's choice), so glad we did, enjoyed The Venetian but we found The Bellagio perfect & wouldn't want to stay anywhere else next time we go.

On a recent stay there, here's a small list of what we experienced:

While in the possession of the bellhops after check-in, items were stolen out of my bag, including a brand new $175 MP3 player. After being put in touch with their "Risk Management" office (which apparently sounds better than the more accurate "Crime and Theft" name), I was strongly led to believe that I would be reimbursed for my loss. After leaving the hotel, I was then told on the phone that I would receive a written response from them, but I never did. Now my contact Janet in the Risk Department won't even return my calls. A very clever strategy to tell the customer what they want to hear while they're in front of you, then ignore them once they're gone...

We also reserved a pool cabana well in advance, and even put a deposit down on it. We were told upon check-in that the cabana was "no longer available," which obviously means they just decided to give it to someone they considered more worthy.

We went to lunch at 3:00PM (not exactly peak eating hour) and waited over 40 minutes to get seated in their biggest restaurant. After looking around it was obvious there were plenty of tables, just not enough employees. The place was grossly understaffed. We encountered the same thing on a Sunday afternoon when we were told the fastest place to get something to eat near the casino was a place called "Snacks." We waited over 30 minutes there. Again, it was completely understaffed.


This place doesn't even have a feeder line for check-in and check-out. You just get in one of a dozen individual lines for an associate and take your chances. Virtually every other resort has one.

With all the good choices in resorts in Vegas, why choose this dump?

The fountains are a must see attraction for everyone visiting Las Vegas!

Bellagio has it all, including some faults. But it is head and sholders above the rest of the hotels on the strip. Have stayed there 5 times and was never disappointed. For a point of reference, I have also stayed at Monte Carlo, Treasure Island, Flamingo, Mandalay Bay, and Green Valley Ranch.

we stayed at the Bellagio and were given a free upgrade to a suite. We thought we died and went to heaven- living room, 3 bathrooms (one w/ a jacuzzi), bathrobes, etc. I'd do it again in a minute.

This is a beautiful hotel - much more enjoyable and classy than many of the other hotels and casinos on the Strip. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was great (crab legs were exceptional). The Bellagio is my favorite hotel in Las Vegas.
