Bellagio is nice and I hope to see "O" one day there -- need better planning. It's not my favorite hotel to stay but many of my friends love staying here.
But when I'm in Vegas, I make it my mission to feast at the Bellagio's dinner champaign buffet! For $40, you just can't find a better deal anywhere on planet earth! I come to Vegas not to gamble (no dinero and bad luck at gambling) but to feast on the buffets, watch the shows and catch up with friends who live in various places in different continents. My favorite buffet is Bellagio's. (The rooms are nice -- seen the rooms my friends stay at this cool resort -- I prefer staying at Mandalay Bay.).
Everything at Bellagio's buffet is exceptionally fresh, nicely cooked and delicious! The desert is simply to die for. The trick is to pace yourself and be very nice to the folks who attend to your table -- my buds and I stay for a couple of hours and pre-tip our servers generously in advance. Eat everything in moderation and you will get your money's worth.
After a two plus hour eating and catching up with my buds (including our female friends), I go nap in my friends' rooms at the Bellagio while they go gambling and shopping. (I don't gamble -- I spend my dinero on shows and more food.).
One can eat like a King or Queen at Bellagio's buffet. Give yourself at least 90 minutes and you will get your money's worth! The food is fabulous!!!'
