The Bellagio, inspired by the resort on lake Como in Italy, must be one of the world's most recognizable hotels - its fountains and Tuscan design have made it a Las Vegas landmark. Conceived by Steve Wynn, it was the most expensive hotel ever built when it opened in 1998, and set the stage for a spate of ultra-luxury Las Vegas resorts that arrived over the next decade.
The Bellagio's main attraction is its breathtaking dancing fountains. We can almost guarantee that you will come back to see them several times during your trip, even if you are staying at a different hotel. Set in a nine acre lake, the 1,200 nozzles and 4,500 lights create an awe-inspiring spectacle - the water dancing to anything from opera to modern classics and reaching up to 460 feet in height.
The lobby and public areas are styled in elegant Italian fashion, including vast amounts of marble and decorative ornaments. The Bellagio manages to maintain a classy style throughout, and if it wasn't for its large casino it would look more like a European resort than a large Las Vegas hotel.
You will not be surprised to hear that guest rooms at the Bellagio are designed with a demanding customer in mind - they are all elegantly appointed and give a real feeling of luxury. The beds are very comfortable and the linen and towels are some of the best you will find in Las Vegas. You will pay a bit more for a Lake view Room, which in our opinion is well worth the money. You can tune in to the hotel's own television channel, Fountain TV, to listen to the music the fountains are dancing to just outside your window.
Room amenities are of a high standard, including toiletries and plush bathrobes, and you will find an Italian marble bath with soaking tub, glass enclosed shower and sink in every room. For slightly larger budgets, the Bellagio offers suites ranging up to an astonishing 4,100 sq.ft which boasts a private solarium, verdant indoor garden and fountain, fireplace, and L-shaped bar.
Overall, we found the rooms to be warm and well appointed, although at 510 sq. ft. for a standard room, you will find more spacious accommodation elsewhere on the Strip with a similar budget. Room rates are in line with the other luxury hotels on the Strip, and special promotions throughout the year offer good value for money.
