The Bellagio is one of the luxury hotels in Las Vegas. I would think that it, the Wynn and the Encore are the 3 most luxurious in Las Vegas. I had the chance to spend a week at Bellagio a few days before the Super Bowl.

On entering the hotel you are immediately struck by the Chihuly glass sculpture that covers the ceiling of the lobby. In the distance I could see the large garden displays celebrating the year of the dragon but first it was time to check in. Of course like all of Vegas there is a longish line but there are about 10 people checking us in so the line moves smoothly enough.
The rooms are not outrageously priced. The Super Bowl week was much higher priced but in the week that I did this review the rooms were in the mid $200 to early $300’s. Not a lot for a luxury room.
The Bellagio room:.
Here is a wide shot of the room. There is a large space from the edge of the bed to the specially designed tv and entertainment counter, as well as a comfy chair and desk.
The large comfy chair with a footstool, small table and lamp are there for relaxing. The desk and chair are also nice to have. A hotel like the Bellagio has extra lamps and plugs readily available.
The cupboard with wooden hangars, iron, ironing board, luggage rack and 2 lovely bathrobes. Even this cupboard has lovely tiles on the floor.
The ice bucket and glasses are lovely. So many hotels give you plastic cups so proper glass is great.
The refrigerator is nice but of course as in almost all hotels in Las Vegas, it is full of expensive bar supplies. But for the first time I saw that a personal shelf is provided. That is so nice for milk, cheese, yoghurt, medicine, anything that you might need cooled.
It is really nice that this shelf is designated as most fridges in Las Vegas are touch sensitive, you will be charged for any item that you pick up or move.
There is also water and various snacks provided at a cost.
The bathroom:
The Bellagio bathroom is lovely. It just looks and feels classy. Nice faucets, nice towel racks and hooks, good toiletries, really nice.
Toiletries are provided by Lanovera. They are nice to use and provide very good soap.
A nice three quarter sized bath. I did use it on my stay and it was a lovely soak.
The separate shower with great tiles and fixtures.
Of course sometimes your view is not great. I normally ask for a high room as I am happy to exchange the busy elevators that high floors give for the view I will have.
Some of the other areas:
Here is an area in the hallway outside the elevator. Very elegant decorations and a lovely bench for sitting on.
This is the piano bar in the lobby. Lovely music but rather drowned out by the amount of people passing all the time and the noise from the casino just on the other side.
One of the coffee shops available.
This is the spa and salon available in the hotel. Treatment by Kalologie Medispa.
Seeing that I was there at the end of winter this was the time the hotel uses to refurbish the pools to prepare for spring and summer.
There are many ballrooms available for use at the Bellagio. There are always different events happening here.
Here is a scene from one of the events in a ballroom.
And then here are pictures of the garden with the display celebrating the launch of the Year of the Dragon.
This is the behind the scenes Wellness center for the employees. Seeing as someone is on duty 24 hours a day at the hotel it is appropriate that the center is open 24 hours.
This is the killer view outside the hotel. If you have a room in front of the hotel you have this view all the time as well as seeing the fountain display every 30 or 60 minutes.
Conclusion:
The Bellagio is a great luxury hotel to stay in when you visit Las Vegas. I still prefer the Wynn but I think the Bellagio is a perfect place to stay on your visit.
