This was my first time staying at the Bellagio and I was afraid that the expectation would not be all that I was hoping for but was delighted to check in and find that it was every bit as impressive as I had hoped.My husband and I had a fountain view deluxe room on level 9 and upon arriving in our room the first sight was the Eiffel Tower located opposite us which looked spectacular! The room had a modern feel with iPod docking station and a large wall mounted tv and the electric opening curtains & nets was a very nice touch. The tv plays the tunes that the fountains dance to on channel 22 so it sounds really impressive when the show starts.The fountains are breathtaking and different throughout the day so you never tire of watching them.the hotel was very busy as it was Chinese New Year but the atmosphere was always good.The staff are all excellent and will try to oblige any request you may have.The tables in the casino are always busy throughout the day & night and prices range from 10 to 100 dollars but the slots range from 25 cents upwards so a good time can be had by all.The restaurants are all good and priced in line with other hotels around them.there are a few good coffee and light snack places located inside if you don't want anything too heavy.The hotel is beautiful and they have a good selection of designer and gift shops.My only negatives would be no tea/coffee facilities in the room and that the bathroom had a plastic type bath not ceramic as are at most high end hotels I have stayed at but in the grand scheme of things this was a small price to pay for such a well located and stunning hotel.
