Hands down one of the best hotels that I have ever stayed at and one of the two hotels that I stay at when I'm in Vegas. (largely depends on price for me!)
The rooms are well appointed and feature fantastic amenities. For some strange reason I am drawn to their bath soaps and shower gels. If possible, I do suggest getting a lake view room so that you can take advantage of watching the water show. If not, the views of the mountains isn't bad, and to be honest, you are hardly ever going to be in your room anyway.
The shopping is higher end, so if that isn't your thing..skip it. I pick hotels to stay at for the location and the rooms anyway! So the shopping is simply an added plus! Great restaurants and fantastic show options.
The staff were truly amazing. I have never seen a check in line move as fast as it has at the Bellagio. The housekeeping staff were wonderful and went the extra mile to make sure my needs were met.
Oh..not really a family friendly hotel...although kids are welcomed, I wouldn't say they would have fun here...
Hands down, one of the best places to stay at.
