| - 3 stars for the Standard rooms with king bed on 23rd floor
5 stars for the hotel, including the conservatory garden, the lake.
4 stars for the casino.
So bellagio, my love, my favourite hotel in vegas. I've come upon thee numerous times. The garden, the chocolate fountain, the magnificant lake.
I finally had the chance to stay in your rooms this weekend, experience your swimming pool. Gambled a bit more.
Let me say this first. their rooms was drop dead....mediocre.
For $250 i'm paying for this?!?!?!?! (Normally 300+ too!) when I could be staying in a panoramic suite in the rio, or a nice suite in trumps or even the pallazzo/venetian or aria.
The decor of the room was alright, definitely not modern, but that's ok, i liked it anyway. The room was a little small, 510 sq ft, the window was dinky, view of uhh, the swimming poool? that's not bad i guess. and the TV was disgraceful. Not even an lcd screen? but a CRT? that's from like 10 years ago? the toilet made a loud flushing noise that was the scariest i've heard. The wardrobe could fit like a dress and a suit and that's it. WHAT?? NO COFFEE MAKER?!?!?!
No adjustable lighting, no fancy, no frills. just straight to the point. But which would've been alright if I was paying $100. I just paid $250 for this? I WANT FRILLS! This might as well just have been a nicer version of Marriott courtyard? Everything was just...so...mediocre. I really expected more.
The bathroom had a normal tub and a glass door shower, alright. They didn't even have hangers for hand towels? what?
Perhaps we need to shell out a couple hundred more for a nicer room. Check in was relatively quick though and they also let us do early check in at 1pm and late checkout at 1pm. In room check out is key. They also helped me mail out letters.
The pool is pretty good, a little shallow, and the jacuzzi were spread out at the end so that was kind of annoying. It's a nice pool but nothing grandeur. I've been to nicer swimming pools, but i've also been to worse. Their jacuzzi wasn't even on?! The shower in the womens restroom was also somewhat clogged up and old. At least they had soap.
The casino vibe was nice, but the dealers, were not very friendly. One or two of the asian women were nice, but most didn't really want to be there. Not to mentioned my bf and I had awful luck! At least their pina colada was good though, and pretty big!
The garden is ever changingly gorgeous. I'll settle for the garden and lake show until I am rich enough to stay at the suites.
I've also tried the buffet over a year ago. pretty good but not too memorable.
Tip: Stay there at your own risk! you're better off shelling $200+ at another hotel, but feel free to shell out 1k. Gamble elsewhere too if you're a young lad. PH is the place to gamble, just don't get too distracted by the boobage. Definitely check out the garden and the lakeshow. free wireless in the lobby! but you have to pay for wireless in the rooms?!
Favourites: still the garden and lakeshow
Do not want: 10 year old TV?! no hand towel hanger? Mediocre rooms
Last words: Save the $200-300 and book yourself a room at aria/trump/pallazzo, etc. Come back when you have over 500 to spend.
