| - My friends and I stayed at the Bellagio on a trip to LV earlier this month and we had an AMAZING time. We were at this hotel for 4 days/3 nights (stayed a different hotel night 1, stayed in the grand canyon night 2, and at the bellagio nights 3-5).
Check in process: We got back from the grand canyon around 1pm, so we stored our luggage while a few of us went to return the rental and the rest gambled. But as soon as we got back from returning the rental, we were able to check in. They have a LOT of people open to help you check in, but they also have a LOT of people checking in, so it took a while. The girl who helped us check in was on the phone when I got up to her counter and she didn't make eye contact or say she would be with me soon, so it was awkward b/c i couldn't figure out if I should just go stand in another line... but once she was off the phone, check in was easy. She did try to lecture me about calling my credit card company to let them know was in vegas -- thanks mom (one card had been put on hold b/c of all the charges)...
Location: in the middle of the strip so prime location. We loved being central to all the hotels. Nearby hotels include Aria, Cosmopolitan, Paris, and Caesar's.
Rooms: We had 7 people - 3 girls and 4 guys and booked 2 connecting rooms, each with 2 queen beds. The rooms were extremely spacious, with bathrooms and closet/drawer space large enough for us three girls, and beds and overall space large enough for the guys! We had a gorgeous view of the fountains- didn't have to leave the hotel room to watch the show. You can turn your tv onto a channel that plays the music that everyone else is hearing outside while watching, so it's pretty much like you have a private show! amazing.
Housekeeping: The hotel itself is always clean! 24/7. The rooms were also kept clean. Our housekeeper was Ingrid and she was amazing, accommodating, and so friendly.She would come by once in the morning and once in the evening (maybe it was someone else in the evening, we were never there) and always did an amazing job. And she left bellagio chocolates every time she was in there (delish, if I saw them first, my friends didn't have a chance in hell at getting any)
Food: (see individual reviews for more details)We ate at John Phillipe Patisserie for breakfast/brunch/snacks a few times and loved it. The quiches, muffins, and sandwiches are good. Chocolate is of course amazing. I had the veg crepe and thought it was ok. We ate at the bellagio cafe for late night food and it was good with pretty good service. The Bellagio brunch buffet was really good, wish it was a champagne brunch tho. The pool cafe was good, nothing extraordinary, though.
Show: We saw O here and (although strange, we didn't fully understand what was happening), it was amazing! I think all of the cirque the soleil's would be like this, though, but O is the aqua one, so it was unique and the performers are so talented. The theater is clean, employees are friendly and efficient, and we had a great time.
Casino: Well kept with amazing dealers. Played roulette a little, but played craps a lot. (The guys played a bunch of blackjack, too). The craps tables were a ton of fun. Of course, the players make it fun, but we had amazing dealers too. My favorites were Theresa and Joe. They were friendly, knowledgable, and extremely helpful. We definitely had good luck wheneve they were around.,
Pool: we got a cabana - I'll review this later under Bellagio pools.
Checkout: effortless, I dropped a piece of paper in a box and got my receipt via email later that day.
Tips: There are a lot of people who you interact with hourly who provide services and of course, they all expect a tip. So bring lots of cash!.... The one thing I didn't like, is some employees will REMIND you to tip them.... (they did with 2 of my friends a few times). I understand they work off tips, but sometimes what they're doing is not something you ask for and is something so minute that it doesn't really make sense to tip 5 dollars.
Overall, we had an amazing time and had amazing service. We will definitely be returning to vegas and have talked about staying here again (although we do want to try more of the hotels). But we had such a great experience here, we almost don't want to! Definitely recommend it.
