| - The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art may not be comparable to galleries found in major metropolitan cities, but it's a much appreciated gallery that Las Vegas is fortunate to have. It offers visitors the opportunity to view artwork by renowned artists.
Finding the gallery can be an adventure. Being a local who's somewhat familiar with the layout of the Bellagio, I've never seen the gallery before and had to ask for assistance on its whereabouts. The gallery is tucked in another wing in the Bellagio, away from the boisterous sounds and excitement of the casino. If you know/can find Cafe Gelato, it's within close proximity.
Here's a rundown of the current ticket prices:
General Admission: $16
*Nevada Resident: $13
Students, Teachers, and Military: $11 (High School student IDs only)
Children 12 and under: Free
*Nevada Resident prices are $8 on Wednesdays only from 5:00pm - 7:30pm.
I came here on a Wednesday to take advantage of the $8 Nevada Resident price, which I'm glad I did because I wouldn't have paid the full amount to see an exhibit. Like some reviewers have mentioned, the gallery is very small, and you'll be in and out within an hour at max. There's a free guided tour device that makes me feel like I'm Zack Morris talking into a brick phone. It's complimentary, and I'd suggest grabbing one because the plaques don't have much details about the art.
For art lovers, the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art might be a good place to visit, but for someone who's only mildly interested, I might just skip it all together and view the art online instead.
