Soft serve ice cream instead of gelato, Bellagio? Seriously, soft serve? \n\nThere were bananas Foster (not superlative) and very nice creme brulee, one of our favorites.\n\nThe prime rib was very good, as was the au jus. The crab legs and shrimp were good but standard fare. The sushi selection was rather disappointing, especially compared to Aria. \n\nThe plusses were few and far between. There was an excellent selection of picture-perfect fresh fruit and a nice garnish bar with olives and nuts included. In contrast, the bread was below lackluster. At Aria I actually was tempted into two selections; at Bellagio it was easy to skip breads completely. The soups were boring and not at all tempting even though there were several selections available. I kept wandering around thinking I might have missed something, but no, I had not. \n\nMy first glass of lemonade was fine. The next one was watery; the replacement wasn't very good either. Oh well. \n\nGo to Aria instead."^^ . "0"^^ . "2014-09-09T00:00:00"^^ .
