Las Vegas Hotel Tips by shrimp56

Unique Qualities: I've never stayed in a hotel in Las Vegas until this recent visit -- always with friends -- but from my tour of the strip The Bellagio looked like the only HOTEL, as opposed to a casino with rooms. [I was seriously underwhelmed by Paris, for example] It was light and GORGEOUS!!! Now who will pay the bill for me?
.
Highlights of the Bellagio public areas include the Dale Chihuly glass ceiling in the lobby area and the beautiful, seasonally changed, gardens just beyond the lobby.
.
Of the restaurants/bars I'd recommend The Petrossian Bar in the lobby for a great people-watching perch and Olives in the shopping area for a stylish Mediterranean lunch.

I stayed for one night in one of the hotel's "Bella Suites" -- I think we got upgraded:))) Anyway everything worked well. Despite the stories I had heard about Friday afternoon check-ins the line at the check-in time of 3pm was short. Everything went smoothly. The room was very attractive and very clean. In fact no complaints.

The onsite eating was varied, although we had stale pastries at the Santa Lucia Cafe in the food court. Dinner at Valentino was excellent -- see that tip for more info.

Unique Qualities: All the rooms are suites. The living area is divided from the sleeping area by a railing and 2 steps down. The colored were warm orange-reds and greens with a touch of Tuscan yellow. The toilet is in a separate little room -- one of my fave design features in an upscale hotel. I LOVED the mini-canopy over the bed with a reading light tucked up there. I looked for things to complain about -- hey I owe you folks a REAL review -- but other that a loooong walk from the elevator to the room there were none!
