| - Probably my favorite hotel in Vegas. I've yet to try the Wynn though, so I'll get back to you. ;)
Bellagio is understated and elegant. I don't need the over the top disney circus crap that Vegas is known for. Really. I don't. None of it amazes or impresses me. What I'm impressed by is beauty, service and quality and that's why I like this hotel. They do have the occasional hiccup but when they do, they will do their best to make it right, asap. I also like that you must show your room key to a guard before you can go upstairs.
The rooms are spacious and the beds are luxuriously soft and fluffy. I do wish they better bath products in the rooms. They're not bad, but some Aveda or Crabtree and Evelyn or something would be perfect.
The Spa is wonderful and I'm in love with all the cucumber scented hair and skin care they have there. Right down to the cucumber infused water. They also have complimentary juices, sodas and coffees.. and you can use the spa all day with purchase of their services.
The steam room and sauna are nice, but the jacuzzi could be hotter. However, the showers are an event in and of itself... with changing colored lights and lovely serene music, plus four different faucets including a rain shower and body wand. Beautiful. I need one of these in my house.
The same peaceful music and lighting is in the massage rooms and the services are pricey but worth it for a splurge. Special thanks to my best friend from high school for talking me into a pampered weekend away .. I needed it.
I did not have a chance to check out the pool, the caviar bar or clubs (I've heard good things about Caramel) but next time... The shops are, of course, fabulous (Chanel, Gucci, Tiffany, Prada, Dior, Fendi, Hermes etc...) if somewhat busy.
Room service is quick and efficient with an excellent selection of items. The steel cut oatmeal or egg white frittata and nine grain toast are tasty and will make you feel better about yourself after a night of overindulging.... before you head out to overindulge again, of course. ;)
The Corpse Reviver cocktail (also on the room service menu) is a must try for anyone who likes anise. They also make an excellent Bloody Bull and the bartenders on site do actually listen to you when you ask them to stir your martini instead of shaking the hell out of it.
Don't miss the fountain shows.. they're beautiful, especially while dining at Picasso. One final tip, be sure to tell your driver to drop you at the North entrance if you are a guest at the hotel... that way you will avoid having to walk all the way through the lobby and casino in order to get to your room.
Can't wait to go back.
