| - Well, I liked this place but I completely understand why it has such a low rating. Tucked in the middle of Bellagio's casino floor, Lily was one of the lounges on the Yelp Choose-Your-Adventure deals that did not require advance reservations. Our IDs were checked and then we got our 2-for-1 coupons (good for well drinks only ). It's dark and intimate, with couches that can be reserved as we found out when we accidentally sat down at a reserved table, and a longish bar with stools where we ended up. Above the bar are several large flat screens which detract from the ambiance.
There was a huge crowd at the bar, but while we were "arguing" over who had to go wait in line, one of the attractive waitresses came up and took our order - perfect! I ordered vodka and pineapple while sister ordered a rum & coke, only to decide after the first sip that she doesn't like rum! We swapped drinks as I thought both were good. The second round, she got a screwdriver while I got a vodka and cranberry - which was probably my favorite drink of the four, but it's hard to screw that up.
All in all, we had a good time, the drinks were decent, and the service was good. I can't give it more than 3 stars though, because a single well drink was $12!! Granted, we got two for free, but without the offer, it would have been $50 before tax and tip, which is insane. Bellagio is a lovely hotel and definitely caters to the high-end set. I'll stick with the (free) conservatory & the fountains, thanks.
