What it is

A Las Vegas legend inspired by Lake Como, with nearly 4,000 rooms, five jaw-dropping pools, luxury shops (Louis Vuitton, Bvlgari, etc.) and exquisite restaurants, including an outpost of Le Cirque.

What it isn't

Artless. Guests will find themselves among museum-worthy pieces, including 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers by Dale Chihuly and actual Picassos in “Picasso,” their francophile restaurant (order the butter poached Maine lobster with salsify).

What we think

You may recognize Bellagio Las Vegas from its star turn in 2001’s “Ocean’s Eleven,” where it and its equally famous fountains stole scenes alongside Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Julia Roberts. There’s a reason Hollywood films here again and again: when you’re in Sin City, is there anything more cinematic than this place? Guest rooms are tailored and traditional, with generous footprints starting at 510 square feet; even the starter option is fitted with a cashmere pillow top king-sized Serta mattress and a soaking tub in the Italian marble-lined bath. If you’re feeling like a high-roller, the 2,500-square-foot Executive Parlor Suite is a trip, with its private billiard lounge and media room complete with a gargantuan L-shaped red sofa and multiple flat screens. Either way, your amenities here will include iHome docking stations, automatic drapes, a curated mini bar and healthy touches, including organic carpeting and eucalyptus furniture. Viva Las Vegas, indeed.

You're here because

You love the bountiful Bellagio perks, including amenities that range from driving a Lamborghini Gallardo to checking in to your room via MGM Resorts App.

The Moment

Perched at an outdoor table at Spago by Wolfgang Puck, overlooking the misty, dancing Bellagio fountains, you’re starting to feel like you hit the jackpot. When your waiter sets your Snake River Farms wagyu ribeye before you, fresh off the white oak and charcoal grill, you actually say it: “Jackpot!”
