This was our first trip to Vegas--for a concert at the Closeum. We were very pleased with our room: size, quality decor, quiet, decent view. The Bellagio is the Bellagio--what you'd expect from a higher end hotel/casino in Las Vegas. Lots of tourists who are not necessarily guests of the hotel walking through all hours of the day (and nIght) taking in the sights. We loved the stained glass jellyfish(?) that hung from a skylight, and the floor's mosaic designs are very impressive. The rest of the lobby is somewhat gaudy, but is probably typical for LV. The Bellagio's pool area is beautiful, with plenty of chaise lounges, pool towels, and plentiful, accommodating wait staff--at $23/drink, they want you to get your fill! In summary, if we were to go back to Vegas, we wouldn't hesitate to stay at The Bellagio.
