Having been a Vegas resident for six years, we never really had a reason to book a room at any of the hotels on the strip, but now that we've moved to Long Beach and had to visit family for the holidays, we figured we'd do it this one time and do it right, so we decided to pick up one of the Bellagio Suites. We ended up with one at the spa tower and while the accommodations were certainly plush and worth every penny, there were a few details where things just happened to fall short.
- It was called the Spa tower, but had no direct access to the spa/fitness area - Dub Tee eff ? - so we ended up walking the common walkways dripping in sweat and enticing everyone with our pheromones. Schmexy.
- Access to the spa tower elevators was a hell of a trek from the parking area through some of the busiest parts of the hotel - meh
- When we lived here we used to joke about LV being a few years behind the technology curve and sure enough, it came back to bite us. The room only had a dock that was compatible with an iPod Nano - Double-Dub Tee eff. So we had this huge suite and couldn't bump any jams to go along with our Gummi bear-fueled Orgy. - wack.
Overall though, it was significantly more enjoyable than any other hotel stay we've had. The option of having both a Jacuzzi in one bathroom, a steam shower in the other and a powder room for guests made it very convenient.
If we ever get our arms twisted enough again to re-visit Sin City, we've resolved to always stay at a Bellagio suite (unless something better comes along)
