| - Not worth the money.
I ponied up and paid the premium to enjoy a little luxury for a weekend at Bellagio, but unfortunately was a bit disappointed in the room and don't feel that I got what I paid for.
ROOMS :
The "renovated/remodeled" rooms have been redecorated with walls horridly painted with tacky 70's retro lime-green and bright purple swirls/flowers (?), definitely taking the anticipated luxurious feel down a few notches. Everything was in decent shape and functioned properly, but the only thing that impressed me about the room was the push-button shades/sheers (wall mounted, not remote).
LOCATION:
Bellagio's location on the strip is pretty good, but then again, so is Imperial Palace's. That being said, I didn't leave the property for the extent of my stay; so I guess there's something to be said for the casino.
POOL:
The pool(s) area is pretty large, but nothing exceptional beyond that. A few of the smaller pools have fountains (these are not heated), but most are just standard, rectangular, 3 or 4 foot deep areas to wade around in.
THE BANK:
The Bank (the nightclub at Bellagio) is nice, a decent size, and has tons of tables if you'd like to purchase bottle service. As a hotel guest, you can get free entry before around 11:30pm.

MICHAEL MINA:
Michael Mina's restaurant offers fine dining at a 1 star Michelin rated level. Quite delicious, but of course, also quite pricey.

BUFFET:
The buffet is actually really good. Lunch was $20; which isn't bad at all for what you get. If you gamble enough, use your player's card at the register to get this partly/fully comped.

Even though I've experienced more luxury (I'd prefer to stay at MGM Signature) for less money, I'll give Bellagio 3 stars. It's still pretty classy in it's old age.
