| - My husband and I have been staying at the Bellagio for years now and while we still love this hotel, their are some areas that are in need of some serious attention.
This year we booked the Salon Suite w/fountain view. Room was good sized, plenty of space and we had vies of the Fountains on one side and Caesars on the other. Because we had 2 walls of large windows the noise level was higher than is typical of our past visits, but not outrageous. While the size and views were good, I am not sure if these suites had been updated along with all the Deluxe rooms? Either way, they are in serious need of change. The furniture is worn and dated, bed was on its last legs (though not uncomfortable), and the lighting in the entire room was seriously lacking.
We also noticed the hallways looking a bit worn, and food carts were left for very long stretches just sitting there. We even called for ours to be removed and it still sat there all day into the evening before someone took it back. Details :)
The Petrossian is our favorite place to sit, listen to the piano, have a drink, and unwind. Still love it, the familiarity makes it a comfortable place to land, however, they too need some serious touch ups. I think the furniture and chairs are originals and the wear is showing greatly. New cushions on the chairs or just new chairs would go a very long way in solving the issue of dated décor. Also in need of a menu update w/more by the glass wine options. Still, we can't resist either way.
Love Jean Philippe, but again in need of a change here as well. Always the same ole menu items and pastry/desserts in the case. The flow is just not that good, and could use some upgrades to the coffee/espresso. For the prices, you should be able to get a good latte or cappuccino at all the coffee bars in the Bellagio (or anywhere on the strip for that matter), but sadly this is not the case. We usually driver way out past the airport on Sunset to Sunrise Coffee for our morning coffee. Best we have been able to find in Vegas.
Valet is hit or miss, but typically we have no issues with this service. Love the large waiting area and this is where the Wynn really misses for us.
Overall, we will be back to the Bellagio. Still the best even with the flaws.
