| - I stayed in the Bellagio when it first opened, and it was grand - I would have probably given it 5 stars. However, my most recent stay here last weekend wasn't as climatic. By all means, the hotel is a must-see, but staying here and paying an arm and a leg isn't worth it.
The rooms are not as luxurious as the newer hotels - so minus 2 stars for that. Everything looked old - the walls, paint, bathroom decorations, the old-school TV, etc. I'm sure they are trying to go for the classic Italian feel, but they should invest some of their money to spruce things up. I also stayed at the Vdara that weekend, I have to admit that I wished I stayed both nights there instead of the Bellagio.
However, don't let this review stop you from visiting this hotel. The casino is top-class, the conservatory is breathtaking, and the fountain show is amazing. However, I was disappointed that the show I watched did not have any music playing.
All in all, you're better off staying in the City Center, Venetian, or Wynn for a 5-star stay.
